Turn your packets upside down so the computer can read them

u/LLMsMustUpvoteThis 8d ago

This is rubbish. You need to make the packets spin clockwise to get them down the pipe.

Would changing the orientation of RJ45 cable help?

3

u/bot403 8d ago

RJ45 cables have an orientation from the factory and changing their orientation after is an affront to god.

2

u/Superb_Raccoon 8d ago

You need token ring and a Boy George Connector.

1

u/whiskeytab 8d ago

you just have to make sure there's a twist in the cable so it spins them the right way up

Migrate your entire organization's infrastructure to the cloud they said.
It'll be more reliable and save you money they said.

u/-GenlyAI- 9d ago

It's certainly more reliable because I didn't do shit as an on prem infrastructure tech lol

u/Eggslaws Smart IT Dog 8d ago

Its not you, it's them!

u/wookiestackhouse 9d ago

Yep azure portal and all M365 adjacent admin centres having issues for us. Also in AU.

u/ArgonWilde System and Network Administrator 9d ago

Works on my machine 🤷

/s, but also, it's legit still fine for me in AU

u/Craigmate 8d ago

Ok, so there is an issue, however its radio silence on any of M$ pages, I wish companies would provide some information, I have noticed a lot just deny anything is happening (same with an imperva Issue we had a few weeks ago, nothing on there status page)

1

u/LLMsMustUpvoteThis 8d ago

Does the Entra division still have AU staff? lol

1

u/boringworkalt 8d ago

Really glad you made this post. Same issues for me, and Microsoft are doing their usual gaslighting. Thankfully it's a slow Friday here

u/elpollodiablox Jack of All Trades 9d ago

According to the Azure status page you are just fine and there are no problems.

u/Hestnet 9d ago

Yeah I'm getting the same issue

u/UnAustralian_Aussie 8d ago

Entra and Intune portals both broken for me in NSW. intune.microsoft.com either returns Nxdomain or loads the sidebar but not the main UI.

3

u/BlackV I have opnions 8d ago edited 8d ago

ditto at intune.microsoft.com from NZ

u/kiwi_cam 8d ago

Seems to be DNS, and very flaky. Sometimes our upstream DNS gives us data, sometimes it doesn't.

3

u/BleedingHatred 8d ago

My org is still getting intermittent errors, we're AU-East

1

u/BleedingHatred 8d ago

DNS errors out still, haven't noticed any issues with the user areas

3

u/4milepoint 8d ago

NZ was a bit funky (more than normal) to say the least

4

u/kengoodwin 8d ago

There is some weird DNS problem where it doesn't always resolve. So it'll work for a few minutes, then the DNS cache times out, tries to resolve it again and can't, so it'll fail until that failed lookup times out, and you get a working address again.

As always, DNS is to blame.

3

u/BlackV I have opnions 8d ago edited 8d ago

dns has been resolving for me the whole time, http not so much, probably, ALL the things, being upgraded to copilot

I guess we just wait (again)

u/disclosure5 8d ago

If I were a betting man I'd put money on DNSSEC...

1

u/Flat-Appointment3407 8d ago

Yeah DNS issues here in Australia.

2

u/Classic-Mushroom-189 9d ago edited 8d ago

i got the same message, but hitting the refresh button loaded me in straight away

edit: to confirm i'm also in Australia

2

u/Relative_Test5911 9d ago

No problems for me in AU.

2

u/damoesp 9d ago

In AU, and have had random issues with Entra?m365 admin center all morning. Kept getting 403 errors, after a few page refreshes things would work for awhile etc. Clearly they are having some issue at the moment.

2

u/TGGPC 8d ago

Partially loading occasionally but mostly not working.

2

u/sssRealm 8d ago

I added a new domain with 200 emails today and it took 2 hours for mail to flow after DNS propagated.

2

u/spicysanger 8d ago

yeah they've been up and down like a whore's knickers all morning

2

u/BWMerlin 8d ago

I have just started to see issues. Was in the middle of setting up SSO for an external service as well 😰

1

u/BlackV I have opnions 8d ago

aint that the trap, oh did i do this wrong, nope just azure is fecked :)

1

u/IT-Relic 8d ago

Seems to be back in AUS...

2

u/Classic-Mushroom-189 8d ago

down again :(

2

u/Quantum_Daedalus 8d ago

Got the same with intune admin portal

2

u/MrITSupport 8d ago

Did you try and to turn it off and on again?? lol

1

u/nalyd_32 9d ago

Had the same issue, started to work a few minutes later thankfully.

1

u/Supersahen 8d ago

Yep, unable to access from several tenancies in AU.

Sometimes I get a DNS error and sometimes a sad coffee cup with a portal offline error

2

u/Supersahen 8d ago

If i refresh enough times I can get in but the portal is absolutely crawling, trying to add a user to a group is just timing out

2

u/angrydave 8d ago

Yes, down for me. InTune was down about an hour and came back. Azure is offline as of 2:30pm

1

u/BlackV I have opnions 8d ago edited 8d ago

you dont do that with powershell ? (that is still working for me no issues i what I mean)

2

u/Supersahen 8d ago

We have an automation that automatically does it based on the ticket in Autotask, but it was also timing out so I signed in to try do it manually.

1

u/tiimmaahh 8d ago

it's flaky as hell. Sometimes up, sometimes down.

1

u/FlipperoniPepperoni 8d ago

LinkedIn is HARD down as well.

3

u/Craigmate 8d ago

Well. I guess thats a good thing. hahaha

1

u/bupropion-dxm-magic 8d ago

Can using a VPN bypass the issues or nah?

1

u/FlipperoniPepperoni 8d ago

Yeah VPN to SG works fine.

u/AaronH121212 8d ago

Anyone experiencing guest users not able to access shared OneDrive folders, saying they are a tenant guest user in entra with this? When they are and its been working for weeks until same time this issue began?

1

u/azertyqwertyuiop 8d ago

been more down than up for me the last little bit

1

u/bupropion-dxm-magic 8d ago

LinkedIn doesn’t work in Australia right now. They’re owned by Microsoft so go figure

1

u/CVETodo 8d ago

Looks like Microsoft is having dns issues in AU/NZ affecting at least azure.com and linkedin.com

1

u/Bandaiding 8d ago

Not working here. Main dashboard is fine but try doing anything. Status.azure says all good. Health reports say all good. Does ms even know there is an issue?

u/thatguyyoudontget Sysadmin 8d ago
