Here’s the message from my email provider explaining an outage today:
4:55PM EDT
Detailed explanation:
The
Hosted Exchange 2007 outage was caused by an error on one of our Active
Directory servers which replicates data within our Active Directory
cluster that caused a communication problem with our “Client Access
Servers.” Because the Client Access servers are used to validate the
user’s connection to Exchange server via client permissions on the
Active Directory servers, users would find that they were not able to
connect or maintain a concurrent connection with their Exchange
services. SherWeb’s Exchange engineers quickly located the problem,
however, and restored the Active Directory settings to their previous
state; which then allowed all Exchange related services to
re-authenticate with our Active Directory servers and thus restore user
access.
Got that?
