#disaster strikes again

 

[Eoin]

uk here and my outlook is down....what on earth is going on

I'm in the UK and my outlook is working fine.

 

[Chobel]

Well, Azure is also down lol

You're kidding, right?

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Just had a server guy here at work walk in and chuckle about all these sites down.

instantly half my team checks like 9 different websites. Poor MS....

 

[Feorax]

Wonder if it's deliberate by MS to ease in the XB1, or if it's a DOS attack? The latter would be REALLY shitty for everyone involved...

 

[kmg90]

Oh that explains why i can't log in to xbl. Seems like a ddos. Hope that offline updating thing gets put back up

More importantly, work tomorrow will be a laugh as we use 365.

How can one ddos 300000 servers?!

Spoiler

/sarcasm

 

[Barristan Selmy]

xbox and outlook.com up here US

Yup.

 

[Bananajama]

Down here in UK for me

I don't think they would deliberately take down xbox.com the day before launch.

xbox.com is down for me (I'm in the U.S.):

Service Unavailable - DNS failure

The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later.

[Thursday War]

yup its down.

you can access your friends list though.

[jbug617]

I'm on Xbox Live playing AE. I'm in MA

Outlook, Skydrive are up for me

 

[derFeef]

Everything is down here, AUT.

They had to shut down the Killer Instinct livestream because of issues too.

 

[FStop7]

OK, our Exchange Online and Outlook.com stuff seems to have stabilized. Not all of our users were impacted. About 40 or 50 out of 400.

It's funny because I was half-joking with my boss last week that the Xbox One launch might have an effect on our service.

 

[SeanNaess]

GOOD NEWS! My Xbox One has shipped, services will resume as normal soon.

 

[GavinGT]

Xbox.com is up for me, but loading slow.

Windowsazurestatus.com still down.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Our Office 365 connectivity is getting hit, intermittently dropping Outlook connections to Exchange Online, etc. I've lost connectivity to the Office 365 admin portal as well (which all runs through Outlook.com.)

Just noticed this thread and realized that it's now Friday on the other side of the world.

That's a much more worrying issue than Xbox.com being down. Hope it isn't too widespread and MS can get it back up and running ASAP. Businesses won't be happy.

 

[Beant]

uhh thats a bigger deal if azure is actually down

 

[Spitz]

Now here too i smell free games for all!!!

Definitely an MS issue - timeouts appear after step13 inside the MS network structure.

[jns]

I just got up and logged in fine, but when I go to the store (in a game) it just times out. xbox.com and outlook.com are both up for me though ...

 

[kmg90]

If it's a DDos it's managing to hit everything but the actual websites

 

[Feindflug]

Down here in UK for me

Same here, xbox.com is down for me and I get DNS errors when doing the network test on the 360.

 

[derFeef]

Wow they seem to have lost internet access at the MS offices (KI stream)

 

[Goodacre0081]

last friday me and my friends all had a system freeze at the same time on Gears3. very odd, we just assumed it had something do to with Xbone launch

 

[Bananajama]

All the midnight UK launch collectors will be trying to connect in an hour + too

Needs fixing fast

 

[oVerde]

really MS have a single DNS node and it went down?

 

[imek]

Looks like it's back up now, time to start updating.

 

[Nevasleep]

Microsoft DNS servers down?

 

[maquiladora]

Neil Jackson ‏@njjaxx 1m

Seems like Office 365 is down, Skydrive, Sharepoint, Exchange, the lot. The joys of cloud. #office365 #microsoft

.

 

[gossi]

 

[DopeyFish]

yup, you can bet Microsoft data centers are in complete freak out mode right now

 

[kmg90]

I suspect Neogaf is about to go down, from this craziness

 

[Vicious Possum]

My buddy in New Jersey got his X1 early today from Amazon. He is running around on an empty 64 player conquest server (BF4) as we speak.

Xbox.com does appear to be down...however Xbox Wire is up.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

360 still good.

 

[Feindflug]

Wow they seem to have lost internet access at the MS offices (KI stream)

Well that doesn't sound good...hopefully they will iron out the problems soon.

 

[Sipheren]

I am really glad I went got mine last night and had it all set up before bed. All the updates downloaded super fast and I also downloaded all the apps from the store.

I would imagine they will get this sorted fairly soon...

 

[Crimson_Fate]

skynet does go live today so it makes sense...

 

[GreyWind]

Team foundation is also down for me.

 

[MCD]

cboat please.

 

[Feorax]

An hour before UK launch. Perfect timing...

 

[Stinkles]

Working for me.

 

[AlexMogil]

Holy crap, seems like the msft.net dns servers are down. Very strange. Could be saturation?

Edit; Hrm, now resolving.

edit 2: but not resolving all Microsoft properties. Weird.

 

[kmg90]

Oh wow... that would be the absolute worst and would probably bury what is left of xbox brand loyalty in UK

 

[Freki]

If xbox live stays down everyone who bought/will buy one tonight has a brick until they fix this.

 

[Thebonehead]

Looks like a DNS poisoning attack

 

[gossi]

The Azure status page (XBL and MS' business customers are hosted in Azure) is returning error 500 at moment. Heh.

Microsoft are running an MVP cloud event at the moment, as it happens.

 

[Hindle]

Down for me as well.

 

[Binx]

xbox.com down for me, Atlanta area

 

[Feorax]

If xbox live stays down everyone who bought/will buy one tonight has a brick until they fix this.

Oh shit, I completely forgot about the day 1 patch.

This is going to be awful if people line up at midnight but can't even boot the damn thing.
