Microsoft’s ongoing outage prevents enterprise customers from accessing email inboxes, files, meetings, and other Microsoft cloud services.
The technology giant said in a post on X around 2:30 PM ET that the outage was caused by “parts of the service’s infrastructure in North America that were not processing traffic as expected.” Microsoft did not provide specific details about the cause of the outage, but said it was “working to restore the infrastructure to a healthy state in order to recover.”
Microsoft said on its status page whether the outage affects the Exchange Online email service, searching for files in SharePoint Online or OneDrive, and creating chats, meetings, or adding members to the video meeting platform, Teams.
The outage also prevented admins from accessing the Microsoft Purview and Defender XDR security dashboards and the admin center.
