Microsoft is reporting issues accessing Microsoft 365 (Rutgers Connect) services, including email, calendars, and Teams.
Microsoft reports that Microsoft 365 (Rutgers Connect) users may experience a gradual recovery in access to email, calendars, and other applications (Teams, SharePoint, Copilot, and others) as the company implements a fix to the current outage. The company continues to report that this is a “limited recovery in some regions” and monitoring of the solution is in progress. OIT will provide additional updates when available.
Various Rutgers email alias services will undergo planned maintenance from 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, until approximately 2 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 14. ScarletMail and Rutgers Connect will remain available, but during this timeframe, users may experience delays receiving email to personalized @rutgers.edu addresses. The Service Activation process, for setting up some IT services at Rutgers, will also be temporarily unavailable. This maintenance is required to apply vendor-mandated system updates that will improve overall system support and enhance the delivery of large file attachments.
