Any idea how to disable the MS Teams popup? "Classic Teams will soon be unsupported, and your OS needs to be updated to run the new Teams." I didn't expect such an aggressive companion from MS. I plan to switch to New Teams a little later.
l
I think MS made the method to disable that more difficult than upgrading to new teams. by design

It can be done, via the Teams Management console-thing azure. Haven't done it myself though, since i'm not an Teams administrator for any of my customers.

reminds me of the update cycle of Windows they had for a while, impossible for companies to follow.. totally not in sync with how companies do image and app management life cycle.

Did you find where this is?
j
is this what you setup?

we tried this for a client but I dont think it worked
if anyone can provide a step to suppress this message, that would be very helpful
@Ryan Gallier did you figure this out?
r
I have not, no. Waiting on others. 🙂
not enough complaining yet for it to bubble up to me. Just hoping to cherry pick it in here.
j
ha yeah for sure

We also didn't find a way, so we switched to New Teams, just like Microsoft wants us to.
j
we are trying to suppress this for the customers on Server 2016 using Citrix. They have another year, so we want to give them a bit more time
l
What do you mean by 'another year'? My understanding was that Classic teams goes "unsupported but usable" in October. They'd really run unsupported?
j
yeah for sure. its not business critical, and they would rather not pay for an upgrade. we are incentivizing them to move to a newer OS for sure, but thats how customers go
and who actually calls into microsoft support anyway 😉
l
wow
j
but in all seriousness, the number of customers in this situation are very few. and the user base is not huge, probably talking less than 50 users across multiple customers
so when I say its not business critical, its up to them to decide if its worth paying for the OS upgrade. If they lose the tool because of lack of support, its because they don't use it enough to justify the spend. it would just be handy to get that message suppressed until they can finally justify
a
Prefered solution: registry key to do „magic” 😉 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hell, they were 6 months into new teams testing before they even had a regkey that would allow you to prevent automatic updates for nonpersistent VDI. I'l be surprised if they have a regkey that blocks that message on classic teams.

QA is GA
