If you’re looking for ways to monitor Office 365 to be proactive about your knowledge of how the services is doing, if parts are going down for maintenance or something like that, check out my previous post on the dashboard.

Recently, our Office 365 Technology Specialist, Chandler Bootchk, passed on the following to me to add to our fun:
- Office 365 Service Health RSS Notifications
Wanna subscribe to service notifications via RSS? Here’s the feed URL:

Office 365 Admin App
The Office 365 Admin app empowers you, the Office 365 IT administrator to stay connected with your Office 365 environment on the go. You can now manage your users including resetting their passwords. In addition, you can also read the latest messages from Message Center, the central location for Office 365 service communications and view any active service support requests. A new dashboard allows you to quickly view service health status and more. For increased security, the Office 365 Admin app supports Windows Azure Directory Multi-Factor Authentication and the option to set a unique application-specific PIN code. IMPORTANT: You need to have an active Office 365 subscription with administrator user rights to use this app.
