Issue with removing a member from O365 Groups

I am trying remove a member from my O365 Group and I get different error messages depending on which way I am using.

 

From the web interface = "The group can't be updated right now. Please try again later."

From the Outlook Client = "The list of current group members isn't available right now. You might be able to add members, but you won't be able to remove existing members."

 

Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?

Any thought on what to try?

 

 

  • I've seen it occasionally, seems to go away on its own. Try removing the member via PowerShell too, just in case - the cmdlet you need is Remove-UnifiedGroupLinks.

  • We were able to remove the problem guest via the admin console and didn't have to resort to the powershell.

     

    The group is now behaving correctly again.

     

     

  • Hi Shaun, were you able to resolve the issue? Seems like you were hitting some kind of intermittent service failure. Apologies if the different text threw you off a bit, we'll get that fixed.

      Hi Ravin,

       

      I work with Shaun and can confirm that the issue still exists. It appears to be just for one particular group member - we can delete other members ok.

       

      Any further hints on what to do / where to look?

      Cheers
