Microsoft has started adding their default GDAP relationship behind the scenes to customer tenants that does not meet the requirements of our business system to function properly and support your tenants effectively. We are removing the default MLT (Microsoft led transition) GDAP relationship and replacing that with our AppRiver GDAP relationship that includes the key roles required for our systems to operate.
The removal of the MLT GDAP relationship will generate Microsoft notifications to admins that the MLT relationship has been terminated.
No action is required from your end and our Appriver partner relationship is not interrupted. We apologize for the notification that was generated and the notification can be disregarded.
Thank you for your understanding

Message Summary:
Publicly switched telephone networks (PSTN) such as SMS and voice authentication are the weakest forms of MFA. To help your users move away from them, Microsoft is introducing changes to the Microsoft managed state of the Registration campaign feature in Azure Active Directory.
When this will happen:
Starting July 10, 2023
How this affects your organization:
Starting July 10th, 2023, users in your organization that are relying on SMS and voice for MFA will be prompted to register with the Microsoft Authenticator app. They can skip this prompt for a maximum of 3 times, after which registration of the app will be required.
What you can do to prepare:
We urge you to motivate your users to stop using SMS and voice for MFA. However, if some of your users need more time you can exempt them for now. Sign in as Global Administrator or Authentication Policy Administrator and go to Azure AD > Protect & Secure > Authentication Methods > Registration campaign and exclude these users.
