Some of the Microsoft services that include Outlook, Office 365 along with Microsoft Teams have experienced a multi-hour outage on Monday. These Microsoft services will be back for most of the users, according to the company.
A notice on Microsoft’s Office Status page read,
“We have confirmed via our monitoring that the majority of Microsoft services have recovered for most customers, However, we continue to see a small subset of customers whose tenants are located in the North America region who are still impacted. We’re now investigating mitigation steps for those customers who are still affected.”
The company had first acknowledged the issues at 5:44 PM ET via the Microsoft 365 Status Twitter account. It stated that it had rolled back a change thought to be the cause of the issue at 6:36 PM ET. But only 13 minutes later, the corporation tweeted again to say that it was “not observing an increase in successful connections after rolling back a recent change.” Microsoft had tweeted that the Microsoft services were primarily back at 10:30 PM ET.
Issues Were Encountered Regarding Microsoft Services
Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory service is yet encountering issues, according to the Azure status page. Nevertheless, Microsoft stated in an 8:57 PM ET tweet from the Azure Support account that it had “applied mitigation steps” to attempt and cure the problem and that “most customers should see signs of recovery at this time.”
