Microsoft's Office 365 goes down across Europe

PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft's Office 365 is inaccessible to users across the continent due to technical issues at the firm's Azure data centers, according to Digital Spy.

Users in West and North Europe are unable to access Word, Excel and Outlook through the portal, but a fix shouldn't be far away.

"Starting at approximately 09:00 on 3rd Dec, 2015, customers began experiencing intermittent issues accessing Azure services that use, or have dependencies on Azure Active Directory," read a statement on the Azure status page.

"Engineering teams have identified an Azure Active Directory configuration error that is believed to be the root cause of the issue.

"The team has implemented an update to Azure Active Directory front ends to call a known good configuration, which has resulted in a significantly improved experience.

"Engineers are in the process of validating full recovery and an update will be provided in 60 minutes, or as events warrant."

Users flocked to Twitter to vent their frustration about the outage, but many are able to log in via mobile apps or desktop software.

Microsoft better scramble to fix the problem or it might have to rename the service Office 364.
