Office 365 Network Onboarding Tool POC small update

Last week we published an update to the proof of concept at http://connectivity.office.com. We appreciate the feedback people here have provided. Here's the fixes list:

  1. Improved optimal front door identification for Dubai, New Zealand, and Malaysia.
  2. Improved TCP port block test through firewalls.
  3. Improved performance of SSL Break and Inspect tests by enabling 20 concurrent tests.
  4. Improved SSL Break and Inspect detection to support connection through proxy server.
  5. Corrected false positive error report on Teams media connectivity test.
  6. Corrected an error where an older version of the Skype Network Assessment Tool was already installed.
  7. Corrected an error with the Teams media test when decimal separators are not configured for US defaults.
  8. Improved exception handling.
  9. Added timed DNS lookup test over UDP.
  10. Improved detection of connections blocked at proxy servers with 403 errors.

Regards,

Paul

    I just run the test but I am not getting the option get a link to share your result with your networking team or your network service provider. How can I share the result with other team in my organization to further diagnose the same. I am using Internet Explorer 11 Version 11.0.155 PaulAndrew

      Laxmikantalbd We have removed that option. We're working on how sharing can be better enabled in the future. In the meantime, you would need to use screenshots to share your results.

       

      Sorry for the inconvenience.

        PaulAndrew where there other reasons to remove this?  I can imagine you are trying to come up with a new elegant way to share, but honestly, your previous link button was working very well.  Sending screen shots seems like go over the top of trying to share.

    Is it possible you could also include in the connectivity tests, connections to CRL URL's and CDN URL's? These are required in order for the O365 applications to work properly but seem to be ignored in the connectivity tests developed by Microsoft.

    I am running the Microsoft Edge (canary) browser on my device, but I get the message Please open this website in Microsoft Edge on a Windows PC to run the advanced tests.

      TheArchitect Edge Canary is based on Chrome and not currently supported by our advanced test tool. Please use regular Edge or IE to try out the POC.

        Hi Paul, apologies for my error, I did test on the regular edge afterwards and successfully got the advanced tools working. Could I add a request for this to work with Chromium based browsers?

    Where ever I run your tool successfully, I always get this error:

    URL needs unblocking:
    *.broadcast.skype.com
    Test FQDN(s) used were:
    sched-uk.broadcast.skype.com

    But when I try to do a DNS lookup of "sched-uk.broadcast.skype.com", it doesn't exist, is this an invalid address?

      Hello,

       

      Same here. I have a number of FQDN(s) showing up but they do not exist :

      flagsapi.skype.com

      gb1-rtc.officeapps.live.com

      ocsp.globalsign.com

        Laurent Frampas What do you mean by "don't exist". I checked with nslookup and all three of these are in the public DNS right now.

        Paul
