Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet

Article
02/26/2024

Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet is designed to meet the needs for secure, reliable, and scalable cloud services in China. This service is powered by technology that Microsoft has licensed to 21Vianet.

Note

The Microsoft 365 operated by 21Vianet version of Microsoft 365 is specific to China. Microsoft does not operate the service itself. 21Vianet operates, provides, and manages delivery of the service. 21Vianet is the largest carrier-neutral internet data center services provider in China, providing hosting, managed network services, and cloud computing infrastructure services. By licensing Microsoft technologies, 21Vianet operates local Microsoft 365 data centers to provide the ability to use Microsoft 365 services while keeping data within China. 21Vianet also provides subscription and billing services, as well as support.

Note

These services are subject to Chinese laws.

Due to the unique nature of the China services operated by a partner from data centers inside China, there are some features that have not yet been enabled. Customers will see the services come closer to full feature parity over time. See the service description footnotes for differences.

¹ Office 365 and Office 365 operated by 21Vianet do not provide support for any operating system that is not supported by its manufacturer.
² In Office 365 Enterprise F3 operated by 21Vianet, Office 365 Video (retired) is limited to viewing only (no publishing or sharing).
³ If you are using directory synchronization with a local Active Directory, you must delete accounts or change passwords by using the local Active Directory, rather than the Office 365 portal or by using the Microsoft Entra module for Windows PowerShell.
⁴ Not yet available in Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, but coming soon.
⁵ You can have only one public website with Office 365 unless you've upgraded from an earlier version of Office 365. In that case, you have two public websites, but only one of them can be hosted with a custom domain name. For more information about working with the two websites for business subscriptions, see Work with your two Office 365 public websites. If you have a different subscription, learn more about public websites at public website help for Office 365.
⁶ Reducing seats that were purchased with a term discount may be subject to an early termination fee. This is not applicable for subscriptions paid on a monthly basis.
⁷ Office 365 Education plans do not support license seat changes from the Microsoft 365 admin center.
⁸ Microsoft Sway is not currently available for customers in certain geographies. Some legacy Office 365 plans that are no longer in market as of August 2015 may also not have access to Microsoft Sway.
⁹ For Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, see the Service Level Agreement here.
¹⁰ For Office 365 operated by 21Vianet, see 21Vianet's Online Services Standard Agreement for Office 365.

¹² Some content may not apply to Office 365 operated by 21Vianet.
¹³ Diminished experience. If your organization needs to access older web apps and services, you may want to consider using Microsoft Edge with IE mode. Microsoft Edge provides built-in compatibility for legacy IE-based sites and apps, giving your organization legacy and modern web compatibility in one browser.
¹⁴ Multi-factor authentication is not currently supported in Outlook mobile (iOS and Android).
¹⁵ OneNote Class Notebook is available via 21Vianet, but the OneNote Class Notebook toolbar is not available for Windows 10 apps, iPad, or OneNote for the web.
¹⁶ Office 365 operated by 21Vianet only supports Retention policies. Retention labels or Retention policies for Viva Engage and Teams locations are not supported. For more information, see Get started with retention policies.
¹⁷ Audit in Microsoft 365 provides organizations with visibility into many types of audited activities across different services in Microsoft 365. Use the Microsoft 365 guidance for security & compliance audit log search to view user and administrator activity in your organization. You can also use the Office 365 Management Activity API to retrieve events from the unified audit log. When an audited activity is performed by a user or admin, an audit record is generated and stored in the audit log for the customer organization. The length of time that an audit record is retained (and searchable in the audit log) depends on the customer's Office 365 or Microsoft 365 Enterprise subscription and the type of the license assigned to specific users.
