Official incident page

Incident Report

Our cloud services provider is currently investigating an issue related to retrieving email addresses using the SharePoint Online Client-Side Object Model (CSOM) API that is impacting On Demand Migration for OneDrive migrations in preserving user-related authorship metadata (created by and modified by). As a precaution, we recommend that customers wait before running new migration tasks where such metadata is required to be preserved until the issue has been resolved and a mitigation has been deployed. Once the issue has been resolved, a re-migration of OneDrive content will be required to update user-related metadata for authorship on both files and folders. You can follow real-time updates from with the M365 admin center on the Service Health portal for the issue with the issue ID: SP1196502 and further information from Quest in our knowledge base article here: https://support.quest.com/kb/4381613. As we continue to wait for a mitigation by our cloud services provider, Quest is actively investigating an alternative method to retrieve such user-related metadata to ensure migrations can continue. An ETA for this change by Quest will be provided once identified and confirmed. We apologize for any inconvenience this is causing, and will update this status as soon as we have further information.
