Can't believe this is still going on. Starting to get a bit concerning.
Ironically, I was on rackspace when they had their outage back in 2022, which moved us off of them to O365.
that one was 3 days.
If you want to nerd out a minute, the worst part of that thing was that you couldn't move over to O365 unless you received an email to confirm that you where who you said you were (owner of the domain.) with Rackspace in a 4 day outage, I had to change our MX records to some random company on a trial basis just to say "yep, it's me" and then spend 3 days migrating all our employees over.
I don't know if it's something stuck with me from the 00's but I have always checked "leave local copy of exchange on HD just in case this happened, and it saved our bacon that I was able to restore .psts.

Agreed, Microsoft's own updates sound like they don't know WTF is going on.

A roundabout way of saying "we still don't know and all fixes are not working".

when Crowdstrike had their issue in 2024, it was some random reddit user that disseminated the fix way before Crowdstrike did because they were chasing around their product when it was a Microsoft issue.

I'm anxiously waiting on a likely job offer and this ain't helping things.

For the guy with waiting on job offer I hope you get it and they will pick up the phone and call you. I hope this outage lasts for months!

You have thousands and thousands of people with economically important shite to do in Outlook not able to do it for what like four hours now and counting. This is a significant event.

This is why you should have AOL or CompuServe as your backup.

I can't really do my job when Microsoft is down so guess I'll be flipping back and forth between Tigerdroppings and pornhub in my office for the rest of the day.

Still down in SC. Luckily the clients that never stop emailing me shite are probably also down…so there’s that.

I would say if you don't know of any internal changes that caused this, you should really consider looking at changes an external actor could have created.

Today is the day you just crank out emails even though they aren't going through to make your boss think you are the most productive person in the office.
