I'm using this to test for return of service: $loop = "loop" do {$response = $null; Start-Sleep -Seconds 5 try {$response = Invoke-WebRequest " https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/ " -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | select status*} catch {Write-Host "Down $(get-date)"} finally {} if ($response) {Write-Host "OK" ($response).StatusCode (Get-Date)} } while ($loop -eq "loop")

Doesn't work for me, I get:

Is this /really/ the status page? It looks like it was pasted straight out of an email to Jason Zander from whoever is trying to fix the problem. https://status.office365.com/ Title: Can't access Microsoft 365 services User Impact: Users may be unable to access multiple Microsoft 365 services. More info: Any Microsoft 365 service that leverages Azure Active Directory (AAD) authentication may be impacted by this issue…

Most of the elements you'd want on a status page are there, but the tone and structure are really off. I think you nailed it that this reads like an internal communication to a manager, not to a customer.

It’s the “oh crap, there is an unsurmountable obstacle in between the end users and the admin portal. We have to say something now” page. Most of the time, service alerts are supposed to be reported through the Azure or MS365 admin portals.

Sorry about that - I have no idea how to format comments. I placed a copy here: https://www.codepile.net/pile/gz77EXzd

while ($true) { $response = $null; try { $response = Invoke-WebRequest "https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | select status*; if ($response) { "OK $($response.StatusCode) $(Get-Date)" | Write-Host; } } catch { "Down $(Get-Date)" | Write-Host; }; Start-Sleep -Seconds 5; }

Current status: We've identified that reverting the recent change did not alleviate impact to Microsoft services as expected. We're working to explore additional options for mitigation.

[I actually enjoy these updates but they indeed read more like our internal incidents channel]

I'm assuming this is related: I can't do any development using Visual Studio 2019 at the moment because it calls home to verify the license and it is currently unable to log me in to to verify my license. So VS is basically bricked for me until this gets fixed :-( Screenshot: https://rog.gy/ss/3b14f7a2ac.png

Funnily enough the community/free version works without issues. That really sucks if you're a paying customer.
