Users may have noticed that the MailTips free\/busy feature wasn\u2019t operating as expected and may have   seen an error stating \u201cwe can\u2019t show MailTips right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>  The Outlook desktop crashes occurred when users attempted to add a new on-premises mailbox.<\/p>\n<p>  Admins may have been unable to create new on-premises mailboxes, and their cross-tenant AutoDiscover requests general may have failed from hybrid environments.<\/p>\n<p>  While we worked on deploying the fix, admins may have been able to mitigate the impact by restarting the Autodiscover app pool.<\/p>\n<p>  Final status: We&#8217;ve validated with a subset of affected users that the fix to prevent the header duplication issue has fully resolved the impact.<\/p>\n<p>  Scope of impact: Any admins\u2019 cross-tenant AutoDiscover requests may have failed from hybrid environments, which caused MailTips free\/busy not to show and crash for users\u2019 Outlook desktop clients when they added additional on-premises mailboxes.<\/p>\n<p>  Start time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 12:30 AM UTC<\/p>\n<p>  End time: Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM UTC<\/p>\n<p>  Root cause: A routing change for Autodiscover requests introduced a header duplication issue which caused a backlog of requests that ultimately failed or timed out and resulted in the impact.<\/p>\n<p>  Next steps: <br \/>  &#8211; We&#8217;re reviewing our change implementation standards to ensure similar issues are caught and addressed ahead of deployment to prevent this from happening again.<\/p>\n<p>  This is the final update for the event.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EX1228240 | Exchange Online | Users&#8217; MailTips may not reflect free\/busy correctly in Outlook desktop and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14998"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14998\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/m365jp.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
