In short: Please avoid making any edits and or posting any new TN Wiki articles between November 19 5pm PST and 10pm PST.
What’s happening?
The TechNet Wiki site https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki will be migrating from the current infrastructure to a full Azure hosted platform, this is part of our roadmap for a full Azure adoption across all our services and platforms.
When is this happening?
The platform team will starting the migration/cutover on 11/19/2018 @5pm PST and our work window to complete this migration is approximately 4 hours. To keep safe, please allow another hour of reserve... (so.. ending around 10PM PST).
What is the Impact?
No downtime is expected as we will have both systems running in parallel, however, during the work window we request that all users avoid making any edits and or posting any new articles until the migration is completed, this is absolutely critical as data loss can incur should a user perform any changes during that period.
