Title: Microsoft 365 admin center access issue

Start time: November 19, 2019, at 7:26 PM CDT

More info: We've identified that users may intermittently experience this problem with the Microsoft 365 admin center, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, Office Online, Microsoft Teams, Skype for Business, and Yammer. Current status: We've identified that a recent networking update may have caused user traffic coming from the internet to fail intermittently before reaching Microsoft 365 services.
