connectivity test: Unblock URL: *.svc.ms

Hi all,

 

After running the Microsoft 365 network connectivity test tool located at https://connectivity.office.com/ I'm getting following 'issue' in the TCP Connection section:

 

Unblock URL: *.svc.ms

Test FQDN(s) used were: 4-northcentralus1-pushp.svc.ms 6-northcentralus1-pushp.svc.ms

 

Any pointers on how to fix this and what it means?

 

Thx,

Mathieu

  • mathieudenys There's an older post on this forum where someone from MS says this is a bug.  They later say that it was resolved, but I believe that to be incorrect, as I always get this same message and it doesn't matter what network I run it on, even when there is no sort of filtering in place.  It's definitely a bug and can be ignored.

  • Recently saw an issue on this.
    Any error that says "pushp.svc.ms" can be ignored, because nothing should be using that naming convention anymore, and were deprecated a while back
    The new service urls look like "pushfp.svc.ms" or "pushnp.svc.ms" (pushf / pushn)
    Not sure why the Connectivity tool is still using those, but we will report it.

      sschreffler Its not a bug, some DNS services dont carry the zone for svc.ms E.G Google 

       

      nslookup 6-northcentralus1-pushp.svc.ms 8.8.8.8

      Server: dns.google
      Address: 8.8.8.8

      *** dns.google can't find 6-northcentralus1-pushp.svc.ms: Non-existent domain

       

      nslookup 6-northcentralus1-pushp.svc.ms 208.67.222.222

      Server: dns.opendns.com
      Address: 208.67.222.222
