Microsoft reporting M365 Service Issues

Description

Microsoft is aware that users are experiencing issues accessing Exchange Online mailboxes, and is investigating the issue.

Delivery of new email messages is currently interrupted, and the Outlook mail client may fail to load on desktop, mobile, and web. Users who already have Outlook open may see core features unavailable or disabled. Teams features that rely on Outlook for notifications and scheduling are also experiencing an interruption in service.

Other Microsoft 365 services may be impacted as well.

Microsoft will post updates to Microsoft 365 Status (@MSFT365Status) / X.

 Windows 11 and Office 365 Upgrades

Description

ITS is currently reaching out to faculty and staff with campus-managed Windows 10 systems to provide recommendations for those systems. Many of the remaining Windows 10 systems will have a convenient option to upgrade to Windows 11 while preserving stored data, as long as the system has enough free space to run the upgrade.

ITS is also providing an Office 365 upgrade for campus-managed Windows systems running Office 2016 or Office 2019. These systems will receive a pop-up notification when the Office 365 upgrade is ready, and this takes only a few minutes to install.

The UMSL helpdesk can assist with questions about these upgrades or with freeing up disk space.

Thanks for your partnership in keeping campus computers secure.
