Service Alert- Microsoft Exchange
Resolved - Microsoft confirmed that services returned to normal and the incident was fully mitigated across all impacted platforms.
Sep 10, 15:43 EDT
Update - Microsoft confirmed that services returned to normal and the incident was fully mitigated across all impacted platforms.
Sep 8, 02:39 EDT
Monitoring - Microsoft 365 services have largely recovered, and most previously affected features are working normally. The remaining impact is limited to Outlook on the web, where some users may still have trouble signing in or downloading email attachments. Microsoft is continuing remediation and monitoring to ensure full recovery.
Sep 3, 08:03 EDT
Update - Microsoft is reporting that the majority of services have been restored for most users and that they continue to observe broad service recovery. Some users may still experience residual impacts as Microsoft continues its mitigation efforts. Microsoft has indicated that resolving these remaining issues remains a priority, and they are closely monitoring service health as they work toward full recovery.
Sep 2, 16:57 EDT
Update - Microsoft reports that recovery continues to progress and service availability remains above 99%. Most previously affected users should no longer experience problems.

Microsoft is continuing to apply the remaining fixes and closely monitor services to ensure they remain stable. A small number of users may still experience intermittent issues while this work is completed.

Microsoft reports continued improvement with no signs of a broader service disruption. We will provide additional updates as Microsoft completes its recovery and monitoring efforts.

Some issues may still occur with:

OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online: Some users may have trouble loading or refreshing content, searching for files, opening files, syncing OneDrive, viewing shared or recent files, uploading photos from mobile devices, or playing videos. Pages may also load partially or display outdated or missing information.

Universal Print: Some users may have trouble creating, uploading, or retrieving print jobs.

Microsoft Graph: Some applications and services that rely on Microsoft 365 data may continue to experience intermittent issues.

Recovered Services

Microsoft reports that the following services have recovered:

Exchange Online: Email, search, Outlook calendar room finder, and related connectivity have recovered.
Outlook for iOS and Android: Email sending and receiving have recovered.
Microsoft 365 Admin Center: Administrator sign-in issues have recovered.
Microsoft Purview: Portal access has recovered. Some delayed alerts, policies, and processing activity may take 24–48 hours to appear.
Microsoft Defender XDR: Intermittent authorization issues have recovered.
Microsoft Teams: Issues affecting search, presence, calendars, Teams Rooms/devices, and channel management have recovered.
Microsoft 365 Copilot: Issues affecting prompts and features that rely on Microsoft 365 data have recovered.
Sep 2, 10:30 EDT
Update - Microsoft continues to work on an issue affecting access to some Microsoft 365 services. Their teams are addressing the systems requiring the most immediate attention and are gradually applying fixes across additional regions while closely monitoring service recovery.

Some users may continue to experience problems accessing or using Microsoft 365 services while this work is underway.

Cause: Microsoft has identified an issue with a core authentication system used by multiple Microsoft 365 services. This may prevent users from signing in or accessing affected services.

Microsoft is continuing to investigate remaining reports and take additional steps toward full service restoration.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
Sep 1, 16:21 EDT
Update - Microsoft continues to implement remediation across the remaining affected infrastructure. Service availability is improving, and Microsoft is validating that authentication, connectivity, and search functionality are returning to expected levels.

Current Impact
Microsoft 365 Copilot
Copilot prompts that require Microsoft 365 grounding, such as access to email content, may fail.

OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online
Users may be unable to load or refresh portions of OneDrive and SharePoint, including account and storage information, search results, Favorites, Followed and Shared With Me content, recent files, lists, and news.

Some users may experience delayed or failed file opening, Office policy-label retrieval, OneDrive synchronization, mobile camera uploads, and video playback.

Users may see partial page failures, missing or stale content, repeated retries, and operation timeouts rather than a complete service outage.
Exchange Online

Users may be unable to connect to Exchange Online or may experience degraded functionality, including failures when using search. All connection methods may be affected.

Microsoft Teams
Users may experience issues with calendar functionality and search.
Presence information may be stale and may not update automatically or through manual adjustment. User location updates may also fail.
Microsoft Teams Room (MTR) devices and desktop phones may appear offline in the Teams admin center.

Microsoft continues to monitor affected services closely and reports that recovery signals are trending positively. Extended monitoring remains in place to confirm that improvements are sustained and remediation is providing broad mitigation across affected Microsoft 365 services.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates as they become available.
