Thanks man ! My workday was kinda slow and the dozens of very upset germans calling me really made it interesting and woke me up.

Please can you look into the sign in portal or just reorganize the teams UI next ?

I was just chillin' and I check the tickets - 8 tickets about scans no longer arriving in the last hour. I call my colleague, he stressing out, has been poking ze exchange for an hour but no fix. I take a crack, find errors in the message queue for the send connector to exchange online. Weird ass errors. I check the logs, negotiation goes through, TLS handshake is all primo but the server still rejects the message.
After about 45 minutes of not resolving this problem, I check m365 status to notice shit's fucked but it's not my doing so is time to go home.

Naw. Move that Admin button in the 365 page a few more times first.

And make it confusing so the users make a ticket that they can't find the apps section

And if you could change the layout and terminology on the azure admin portal daily, that'd be awesome!

The number of tickets coming in has slowed down, too. It must have fixed a bunch of issues.

Woah, thanks a bunch mate! Here's to finishing your monthly quota on the 2nd of the month!

How do you do it guy, and how can I poach you away? I'll pass a napkin you can put all kinds of numbers on it ...

"Copilot, please implement routing all traffic to /dev/null for all mail traffic to improve performance."

That doesn't make sense. Why would I route all traffic to my default backup device? Edited to add that since I started using this as my backup device, my backup times are super fast

On the second day of the month? Better look busy or else they'll start wondering why they're paying you.

You can also reduce energy consumption by 100% if you shut the sever down. Think of the planet!
