Azure Information Protection Documentation Update for July 2019

The Documentation for Azure Information Protection been updated on the web and the latest content has a July 2019 (or later) date at the top of the article.


 


Fast on the heels of June’s preview release of the Azure Information unified labeling client, July saw the general availability (GA) release of this client, together with an updated GA release of the classic client.  The preview statements are removed throughout the documentation. Now that the unified labeling client supports labels with user-defined permissions that prompt for custom permissions, and has support for advanced settings, more admins are deploying this client so that their users benefit from a more consistent labeling experience across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.  


 


July also saw the release of a new PowerShell module, AIPService, which replaces the AADRM module to administer the protection service (Azure Rights Management) from Azure Information Protection.  The new cmdlets have aliases to the older AADRM cmdlets, with the exception of deprecated cmdlets for logging that are no longer used:



The other cmdlets have the same functionality but are renamed, to better reflect the current product name.  There are just a small number of technical changes:



All references in the Azure Information Protection documentation have been updated to use the new cmdlets. As a side benefit of this new module, we’ve been able to remove minimum versions of the module for features that rely on PowerShell.  Support for the AADRM module ends July 15th, 2020


 


We listen to your feedback and try to incorporate it whenever possible. Let me know if you have feedback about the technical documentation for Azure Information Protection. I also encourage you to head over to our Yammer site to see what others are discussing.

How to migrate Azure Information Protection labels to Office 365 sensitivity labels


– Updated to reflect changes for the current GA version of the unified labeling client and removed the section that was added last month for copying policies.
