Multiple staff and faculty reported seeing errors when trying to send emails to students. Before sending the email, users may have seen a message that “the email address is no longer valid”, and after trying to send received a bounceback message that it was Undeliverable, citing the address “was not found in pnw.edu”. Please be aware that this may also have affected emails from Brightspace.

Per vendor recommendation, to resolve issues causing intermittent network outages for the Westville campus, Networking will be applying an OS update to the Westville campus’s border firewalls. During the window, traffic will be failed over to a standby firewall while the other is being upgraded. There should be 1-5 seconds of impact at most while traffic moves over.

Start: 11:00 PM, Monday, 11/25/2024
End: 3:00 AM, Tuesday, 11/26/2024

Multiple users reported issues accessing their staff/faculty email, seeing a 404 (page not found) error on trying to reach Outlook website, or slowness/loading errors once the page is open. The Outlook client (installed on the computer) was less affected, so users having issues on the website may still have been able to access their email using the client.

This was a global Microsoft incident and was not related to the recent Microsoft environment changes.

Start: 8:00am, Monday, 11/25/2024
End: 7:30am, Tuesday, 11/26/2024

Some shared services housed at Purdue West Lafayette may also be affected by issues. Please visit the Purdue IT Status Page for more information.
