What is the domain "nrb.footprintdns.com"??
The domain nrb.footprintdns.com is owned by Microsoft and represents servers in Microsoft datacenters. It is used for telemetry purposes that comply with Microsoft privacy commitments that you can read about at: https://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-trust-center-privacy.

We have plans to rename it to be more descriptive, and to publish it at the Office 365 IP Address and URL publishing site at http://aka.ms/o365ip. If you have any problems using Office 365 related to this, please raise a support incident so that we can assist at https://support.office.com/
Still no response from MS ? Till today it was silent, but now, all the computers are getting this message, and the firewall installed is blocking it (the security certificate is not from a known or approved agency) Anyway, it isn't affecting the operation, so I think it is immaterial, except the nuisance value. But which group of microsoft is tryying to fish here ? The Office 365 group or the windows ?
- hmm, last days my KAV starts to show me this warning with site nrb.footprintdns.com with invalid certificate...
But I'm not sure what exactly is trying to connect there...(and why)
MS, any reply ??
ThanksMy KAV is blocking access due to invalid certificate past 2 days now, too, saying, that these domains are accessed by Outlook. I saw the same in the past, but way less frequently.
Not sure if this is the place to post, but as others have identified Microsoft Office and Outlook as involved, I'll make my contribution.
My Kaspersky Total Security application is identifying an invalid certificate. The source program is listed as Microsoft Office in the popup. The certificate in question lists the related certificate site as outlook.live.com, and the detailed report lists the involved program as Microsoft Word! I have attached the pertinent screenshots. As you can see, the issue is very repetitive, with a different prefix for the url each time. Comment would be appreciated.

I wonder, are we all 'affected persons' under KAV protection?
I just checked up the log of KAV, and it seems quite interesting. It has blocked the footprint not only for outlook but for others too , like ms-excel. Probably if I open up other ms-office files it would do it the same for others.
The domain name "Foot-print" does not seem to be too innocuous.
In addition there is something else too.... probably you people could check up - KAV has blocked several other programs (all windows) - from data mining from other files !
I wonder is Microsoft illegally trying to acquire data ?
Is it the reason why they are silent on this topic ?
Things look too Phishy.
Despite the Russian connection, may be we have to be thankful to Kasp
Came here for the same reason. Since yesterday KAV has been informing me about the SSL connection *.nrb.footprintdns.com
What really irks me is that I pay Microsoft for this software.
