Customers reported difficulties across multiple regions starting at 7.05am Irish time on Wednesday in accessing Microsoft 365 services, including email and videoconferencing tools, the company said in a statement. SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business and Microsoft Graph were also affected.
The company said that the problems were due to a recent alteration to its network configuration and it took steps to roll back the change.
The networking problems appeared to affect every region for almost three hours, according to a status page for its Azure cloud-computing service.
