We are in the final stretch of the process and should have the new database ready within an hour. 

Update 09/21/2023 20:21 PM 30 days

We are still working on moving the data for the final ~30 mailboxes. We are pulling the last offsite backup for the database to our lab environment in order to have a multipath approach. We are currently aiming to have service restored by EOB Friday but we are still unable to provide a reliable ETA for at least another 12 hours.

Affected users with local Outlook instances are able to request a blank mailbox on a new database in order to allow the affected user to import their cached Outlook data into their new mailbox. 

Update 09/21/2023 09:25 AM 30 days

We have completed the required emergency storage upgrade to exchange. There are around 30 mailboxes which are still moving from their existing database. Unfortunately this move was required due to cascading hardware issues that were worsening rapidly. Unfortunately the data move for the final two databases is unpredictable as the transfer rate are fluctuating.

We will allow exchange to continue to perform repairs and copies from the existing database before we consider alternative actions.
