Information Technology Announcement
September 28, 2020
Dear Alliant Students, Faculty and Staff,
Microsoft has detected a problem with a recent change they made to their servers and are in the process of reverting this change. As of 4pm PST, Microsoft has completed this work, but it will take some time for systems to come back to normal. This technical problem is not isolated to Alliant and is affecting customers across the US, and possibly worldwide.
As we utilize Microsoft’s authentication system, this issue may affect our ability to login to several Alliant systems including Zoom, Canvas, and Office 365.
If you are currently logged in, please refrain from logging out of any of these products while Microsoft repairs this problem.
We will continue to provide any updates we can until this issue is resolved.
As always, the IT team is here to support you in any way we can. If you have any questions, we can be reached via e-mail at ithelp@alliant.edu, via phone at 858.635.4355, or on the web at https://ithelp.alliant.edu/

Information Technology Department
