M365 Enterprise Admins - Question about Claude/ChatGPT Outlook Connectors

Have a question for Enterprise Admins for your org. We are running M365 and have a concern of end users being able to install Claude Connector for Outlook, and then sign into that connector with their personal Claude account (via personal email address).

We do offer Claude Enterprise accounts for some end users, along with ChatGPT enterprise for the entire org, but we all know how end users can do weird stuff and end up signing in with personal free accounts.

Executives are ok with the AI connectors, but want to ensure we are only using the paid account versions to prevent the models from learning from our data via the free avenue.

The current way I can think to control how end users are able to sign-in to their Outlook connectors is:

  • control what connectors are available via 365 Admin Center
  • only allow authorized apps
  • only authorize enterprise AI apps (along with other apps the org uses)
  • then force SSO via Entra

Does anyone have any experience implementing this kind of control?

Just wanted to post this here in case anyone else had a similar issue or was looking for solutions. I took my 2025 Explorer ST to the dealer for the IPMA recall and an oil change/ tire rotation. After getting the vehicle back, less than 5 days later we started having issues with the media display not turning on when we opened the doors, the dome lights didn’t come on, and the door locks would not work by touching the handles.

Less than a day later we got a Charging System Service Now warning and then a low battery warning. After taking the vehicle back to the dealer, they warrantied the battery and replaced it. As I was driving off the lot, the battery light came on and wouldn’t turn off.

Ford techs couldn’t get the battery light to reset, so they had to keep my Explorer for a few days to identify and replace the Battery Control Module. This may have been a coincidence, but I don’t really believe in those too much. I’m not sure if they shorted out the BMC or damaged it during the service / IPMA reset or if it just took a dump at 9k miles randomly. Maybe this will help someone else along the way.
