I just tried it and it’s still down.

I am at 50%.  One name ping back and my other can not find host.

Tested three subdomains of remotewebaccess.com. None are resolving DNS as of 1:35pm PST.

Okay Google DNS 8.8.8.8 is now resolving the three subdomains.

OpenDNS 208.67.222.222 hasn’t caught up yet.

Susan – I will be interested in your post-mortem on this. Did somebody really decide to pull the plug because they thought everything related was deprecated? (as per https://twitter.com/mraaronjfoster/status/1286712631143915525)

More broadly, do we need to expect that Microsoft will randomly kill off services for Essentials years before the end of support? Much of my mindset is already about defending customer systems against Microsoft when it comes to updates. Do I need to defend against early service terminations as well?

SO glad that for all my clients that use RWA on Server 2012 R2 and 2016v Essentials we chose to use custom “vanity” domain names instead of the generic one offered by MS.

We had zero problems today during this event.  Feel like I dodged a bullet.
