In reply to Jay.

Looks like the cmdlet wants a GUID. It doesn’t care what kind of GUID it is… so I did:

$Guid = New-Guid
Set-CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy -Identity Global -DisabledInProductMessages $Guid.toString()

Teams accepted the value. It has no relevance to the two defined to control messages, so I guess this will stop the messages being suppressed. I will bug the issue for the developers.

In reply to Tony Redmond. Yes, it failed with 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'.

In reply to Jay. Did you try using $Null as a value for $disabledMessages?

Once a value has been set for DisabledInProductMessages with this command is it possible to remove it? I have tried unsuccessfully

In reply to Dave. Write a different array or $null into the property that disables in-product messages.

How would you roll back the change to remove the GUIDs if needed?

In reply to Markus Hanisch. Fixed. Thanks. Always depend on what's in the PowerShell because that's the code that I ran.

@Tony Redmond:
The GUID of Conferences in the plain text paragraph is incorrect (missing “c” at the end).
Refer to the official Microsoft documentation:
Set-CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy > Parameters > DisabledInProductMessages
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/teams/set-csteamsupdatemanagementpolicy?view=teams-ps#-disabledinproductmessages

As always, thank you for your contribution. 🙂
best regards,

Markus
