A trial version of WHAT? 😯

Microsoft Office 365 has a trial version available without need of any MSN (or possibly you mean MSDN) subscription (and avoiding to have someone break the MSN or MSDN agreement and possibly also some Laws)
https://products.office.com/de-CH/try

BUT you need a Credit Card, as in the usual if not "dark" at least "very grey" pattern is that they are attempting to sell it to you with automatic renovation after the first "free" (kostenlos) month of use.

Why instead of (hypothetically) telling me to read the subject exactly (and hypothetically not doing it for fear of my hypothetical reaction) you don't (still hypothetically) try to explain what you are after?

Maybe I would (hypothetically and for once) be able to understand what you posted. ?

The subject is

Microsoft 365 Forensics

And I cannot understand it.

The post content is

I have no idea of what the "this" is. (if not Microsoft Office 365)

There is no product trial or not by Microsoft called "365 Forensics" that I know of.

Microsoft 365, most probably. Which seems to be a cover name for Office 365 in various configurations + Windows 10 + Enterprise Mobility+Security with some heavy cloud connection.
('A complete business solution eco-system'and 'infused with AI', according to Microsoft … -)

Looks like a Business or Enterprise product, so you probably need to have that kind of relationship with Microsoft to get your hands on it. That is, you probably talk to a Microsoft Partner to get a test environment. Doesn't seem to use any existing AD … perhaps in the Enterprise variant, though?

Sounds a bit like Microsoft's reply to Google GSuite … but with Microsoft twist to it.

May perhaps be a field of forensic specialization … what with all those Office 365 Enterprise variants, as well as that Enterprise-targeted 'Advanced eDiscovery', as well as the targeting to small and medium-sized companies as well as enterprise.

Hasn't 365 been around ages? In addition, google's equivalent has as well? is there really any avenues in need of exploration in the context of forensic analysis and these platforms? I cant think of any scenarios/contexts or artefacts that would need in-depth analysis - could just be me tho!

Seems like Microsoft 365 was announced at their latest partner conference in July 2017, and it looks like it has been commercially available since August (Enterprise) or 3Q2017 (Business). Can't remember I've seen any technical details on what it is from a forensic perspective, though. But perhaps I've not been looking in the right places.

One question I would have is where's information stored? A business-oriented offering with up to 300 users but with no AD? Or does Microsoft keep a semi-automatic customer-AD 'out of sight' to small businesses in Azure?

It need not be anything but a marketing name for already well-established technology, of course. But I'd rather like someone to have a look at it from the forensic point of view than not at all. This is the kind of area where new things may be added without old things being entirely removed an FA might not be able to identify this kind of set-up and adjust accordingly. (Added it's pretty clearly a 'work-where-you-please' environment, so it might easily be present also on home equipment if the licensing model allows.)

Added Found some early pricing details $20/user and month for Business version.

Yep, it is basically a license packaging for a set of products, but still MSN has nothing to do with it

http//blog.goptg.com/microsoft-365-vs.-office-365-whats-the-difference

The services included in Microsoft 365 are also available as separate licenses. If you can’t find a plan that fits your needs, you can still achieve close to the same results by buying licenses for all the components (though you may miss out on some of the machine learning benefits).

365 Enterprise

365 Business

Marketing at its peak.
