Exercise 1

Task: 3

Step: 10

Description of issue

In this step you are told to select the "Contoso Emergency Address". However, this address is not added until later in the lab, Exercise 2, Task 1, Step 5.

It appears this step in Exercise 2 (creating the emergency address) needs to be moved to before the address is used in Exercise 1.

Repro steps:

1. Lab 6, Ex1, Task 3, Step 10: There is no emergency address to select.
2. Lab 6, Ex2, Task 1, Step 5: The address is created in this step.

MOD Admin cannot create Teams in the clients
Repro steps:

1. Because MOD Admin is the owner, but not a member of the GroupCreators security group, they cannot create Teams in the Teams clients, only the admin centers. This task tries to use the web client. we either need to use Joni (and make it a Public team) or the Teams admin center. (Or, add Mod admin as both the owner AND a member back in Mod 01 Lab.)

Description of issue
Step 9: When you are finished with exploring the Microsoft Teams PowerShell cmdlets, close the PowerShell window.

Because the new Teams PowerShell module creates an implicit remote session, we should always run Disconnect-MicrosoftTeams before closing the PowerShell window.

(This correction should also be made in later labs when we use PowerShell.)

Module: 02

Exercise: 04

Task: 01

Steps: 07 & 08

Description of issue
Naming these personas "New York office" and "Los Angeles office" implies that we need a persona for each office. By the logic of this lab, we should create a new persona for each location--this is incorrect, we need to create personas to match the different types of users in the organization, regardless of location (otherwise the report could not support more than three locations, the limit of custom personas.) In the example in the documentation (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-US/microsoftteams/network-planner#example-scenario) they create a "Calling Only" persona. I suggest we (at least) change the names of these personas to "All Apps" and "No Phone" (or something similar) or create different personas.

The instructions for creating a DLP policy are no longer correct. For example, there is now a page that asks whether the policy should apply only to a specific admin unit. There are other minor differences, where text has changed.

The students are getting confused because there are so many discrepancies between the instructions and what they are seeing in the wizard.

Please can the instructions be thoroughly checked and corrected?

The instructions for creating retention policies are wrong - they no longer match what the students are seeing when they use the wizard. For example, there is now a page asking the user whether to restrict the policy to an admin unit.

https://compliance.microsoft.com now sends admins to https://protection.office.com/homepage. This means you can update the name to be Office 365 Security & Compliance for task 2 and 3. MSFT has also changed the navigation and it now requires users to click on "Policy" from the flyout menu(Image2).

Description of issue

The URL https://aad.portal.azure.com now redirects to the new Microsoft Entra Admin Center.

There are several places in the labs where the student is told to go to this URL, and the instructions that follow assume the student is in the old Azure AD portal. Since this URL actually takes the student to the Entra admin center, the instructions are now wrong.

There are several places in the lab where the instructions need to be modified so the student can complete the task in the Entra admin center. The ones I've found are:

1. In step 5, the current version of MicrosoftTeams PowerShell module is 1.1.4 (As of 7/22/2020) and does not contain the -MembershipType parameter in New-TeamChannel cmdlet, so the instruction "if the version is equal to or greater than 1.0.18" is not correct.

The instructions on creating the sensitivity labels needs more detail in some of the steps.

In other exercises the section of the Compliance Center is detailed in the lab instructions but not in this one.

The PS command Set-AzureADDirectorySetting -Id $Setting.Id -DirectorySetting $Setting is used in 3 different Tasks.

Also, when you choose New Webinar, it opens a new tab in the browser, but the page is blank. There's a warning in the address bar that pop-ups are disabled, so you have to enable them in order to see the page where you set up the webinar.

Lab/Demo: 06

Task: 04

Step: 11

Description of issue:

I believe this to be far from a blocking issue, and more of an intermittent annoyance to end users.

This issue we're running into begins at step 11:

It either takes a long time to search/find new phone numbers to assign to users based on city names, or doesn't find them at all.

In my experience, I've seen it take anywhere from a couple minutes, to 15 minutes when searching by city name (If results populate at all).

What I have found to be a great work around/solution is simply using the "search by area code" option.
The results seem to be instantaneous.

For this I would ask that a note be added that suggests "Search by area code", as an alternative if Searching by City name doesn't resolve in a timely manner. Honestly, I might just suggest having them search by area code instead.

Repro steps:

1. Search for location based on city name. Huntington, Texas was a bit of a sore spot via this search method.
2. Search for location based on area code. Now try Huntington, Texas using the area code option (I believe it was 218?).

The instructions for creating sensitivity labels are still wrong. I reported this before and it's marked as closed but the instructions stil don't match the wizard that the students are seeing. lt's causing a lot of confusion.

I don't know what changes (if any) you made recently, but please could you look at the whole task and check all the instructions?

There are numerous problems For example, the text on some of the options has changed, and there are also some new options. Also, the instructions keep referring to sections, e.g. "in the scope section", "in the Goups and Sites section". Most of these sections are actually separate pages in the wizard, so the instructions need to refer to them as pages, and tell the student to click Next to get to the next page.

The instructions really need to be rewritten from scratch, not just tinkered with.
