Microsoft 365 Major update : Microsoft announced retirement date for Classic Exchange Admin Center (EAC). Retirement date for EAC is September 1, 2022

Details :

• In April 2021, Microsoft announced the general availability of the new Exchange admin center (EAC) – https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com/
