Exchange2016 OWA and Outlook connectivity issues (Resolved) Issue / Performance
27 days

The issue with Exchange has been addressed. We started a major project last Thursday involving the entire Exchange team to address series of expoits that have been documented in the wild and could pose threat: https://swarm.ptsecurity.com/attacking-ms-exchange-web-interfaces/

The actual issue that caused a problem was unrelated, in one piece of infrastructure suddenly failing Microsoft Health checks for proxying requests to the backend. While this was resolved quickly, diagnosing it took a while. All users had access to ExchangeDefender LiveArchive during the work and all services are back to normal.
