- Now I got Something went wrong again. Just with another error, 1003. Is it just me or ?
- Kathy. I would like to thank you and the team for jumping on this and communicating it.
It is an example to others inside Microsoft that we need timely info when a service is impacted. Primarily to let our users know. Thanks for letting us know.

- Hi Kathy
Could you give us a sense of how long do you think it will take to resolve this. I have some urgent deadlines related to the survey/votes that I was carrying out. I will have to work over the weekend to process them to release the results on Monday. And this is related to the whole terms teaching plans. So if this is Not likely to resolve quickly I will have to put alternate process / forms in place to avoid issues and complaints. If I can’t realise results by Monday it will have major implications on course delivery. Kind regards S - Hi Kathy

Seems like the issue has been resolved. Thx a lot!
- Yes, seems to. But as a school / company I cannot rely on "seems to". I need this to be officially fixed.
- We got access as well.. But for how long? What's the status? Has the issue been marked as fixed or how far are you?
- Not working again
Ahrrr.
