There were shadowy conspiracists lurking in the dark alleys of Washington, and hiding from the glaring sun in the High Desert of California, but they were laughably easy prey when the Martian lizard people, the subterranean Vril-empowered mole-men, and the globalist pedophile Commies did show up.

    The third party software did exactly what it was designed to do:
    Push security updates automatically, while holding back feature updates for testing.
    This is standard operating procedure. Security updates are not supposed to change anything about how a server works, so the risk of breakage is very low.
    And they need to be installed as fast as possible, to patch holes that are now known to every attacker.

    Microsoft were the ones who pushed out a new Server OS installation and labelled it as security update.

    It’s maddening, cause it’s so blindingly obvious what went on in their minds when they implemented it that way.
    “If just 0.1% of the users do that, it’ll make us $XX million. Can you design a popup for it that we can show all users when they open Teams?”

    It tells me as an admin that the software I manage as my career isn’t designed to be useful anymore. It’s only designed to extract the maximum amount of money.
    It also tells me it’s time to get off this ride, cause Microsoft is evidently pushing towards a future where they administer the system, not me.

    As an admin it gets so much worse. Twice a year your admin portal gets renamed, redesigned, merged with and/or split from another one, or removed, and all those changes are done halfway.
    Which means some settings are only on the old version and others only on the new. Then the old one is discontinued even though the new one doesn’t have all its functions, yet.
    So you completely rely on Powershell. But wait, there’s 2 incompatible versions of it now.

    I’m currently thinking about a career change, after reading in Microsoft’s official documentation that you need to install the new version of Powershell, import the beta version of several commandlets and then run a long script provided by them, only to keep every user on your org from creating their own Teams teams.
    And their newest feature is allowing every user to put in their credit card info and buy MS products on the company domain without running it by IT. It’s called “self service”, enabled by default, and you have to click on a slider to disable it individually for every. single. product. Microsoft. offers.
