More details:

Email between campus (most mailing lists) and Office 365 is not functional. Mail from external senders to UW Office 365 users is not being delivered. Unified Messaging is not functional and Outlook Web App and Skydrive are not reachable. There are reports that Microsoft is having a Global DNS Outage.

Normal service was restored by 5:20 pm, Thursday, November 21st.
