NHSmail Reference: INC47951149
Microsoft Reference: EX975862
Issue Status: RESOLVED
Issue Description: Users may be unable to share their Outlook calendars externally across any Exchange Online connection method.
Final Update: 28/01/2025 17:40:00 AM – Following the deployment of Microsoft’s fix and the successful rollback of the offending service update, their internal telemetry has confirmed that impact has been remediated.
Scope of impact: Impact may occur for any user attempting to externally share their Outlook calendars across any Exchange Online connection method.
Root cause: A recent migration for a service that supports external calendar sharing is causing a section of Outlook calendar infrastructure to operate below acceptable performance thresholds.
Next steps: Microsoft are further analyzing both the offending migration and the affected subset of Outlook calendar infrastructure so they can help prevent similar problems with future planned migrations.
