PowerShell Gallery Status
9+
=========================
10+
### The [PowerShell Gallery](https://powershellgallery.com) is currently: __Operating Normally__
11+
12+
13+
This page will be updated by the PowerShell Gallery operations team when there are issues identified for the PowerShell Gallery that affect its use.
14+
The page will be updated as issues evolve, from reported to active to resolved.
15+
16+
17+
18+
## History of previous issues
19+
20+
### 10/10/2017 - PowerShell Gallery unavailable for 2 hours 10/10/17
21+
22+
__Status: RESOLVED__
23+
24+
__Summary of Impact__: The PowerShell Gallery experienced a period of very high latency, resulting in intermittent connection issues, beginning approximately 5pm (PDT) 10/10/17. While resolving the issue, the site was taken offline for 2 hours starting approximately 10pm (PDT). The site was restored shortly before midnight 10/10/2017.
25+
26+
__Root Cause__: The root cause of the high latency is still being investigated.
27+
28+
__Resolution__: The web services had to be taken offline and restored in order to address the primary issue.
29+
30+
__Next Steps__: The root cause for the original issue is being investigated.
31+
32+
### 06/01/2017 - Deploy to Azure Automation Currently Unavailable
33+
34+
__Status: RESOLVED__
35+
36+
__Summary of Impact__: Deploying items with dependencies to Azure Automation from the PowerShell Gallery is currently unavailable. Importing items from the PowerShell Gallery from inside Azure Automation is still available.
37+
38+
__Root Cause__: Items that have dependencies on others, and have been previously deployed to Azure Automation, will not be deployed to Azure Automation. Engineers have identified an issue with how ARM templates are generated for items with dependencies for the Deploy to Azure Automation functionality.
39+
40+
__Resolution__: Engineers are working to resolve issue. The current workaround for users is to import the item from the PowerShell Gallery from inside Azure Automation.
41+
42+
__Next Steps__: Engineers will release the fix shortly. In the meantime, please use the recommended workaround.
43+
44+
45+
### 04/11/2017 - Users unable to log in with Azure Active Directory (AAD) accounts
46+
47+
__Status: RESOLVED__
48+
49+
__Summary of Impact__: Some users were unable to log in to the PowerShell Gallery using Azure AD Accounts.
50+
51+
__Root Cause__: During an update to interact more securely with AAD, a setting change was missed.
52+
The testing done to validate the change did not include certain types of AAD accounts, so the deployment proceeded.
53+
54+
__Resolution__: Engineers identified the missing setting and corrected the problem.
55+
56+
__Next Steps__: We will be modifying our testing to include a broader set of AAD account types.
57+
58+
### 03/27/2017 - RESOLVED: Unable to see individual module and script pages
59+
60+
__Status: RESOLVED__
61+
62+
__Summary of Impact__: Direct links to individual module and script pages on https://www.powershellgallery.com were broken. This was being reported across all the regions. This did not impact any of the PowerShellGet cmdlets ie., Install-Module, Install-Script, Update-Module, Update-Script, Publish-Module, Publish-Scirpt continued to work.
63+
64+
__Root Cause__: Engineers identified the cause as an issue bringing up social media buttons like Facebook onto the page.
65+
66+
__Resolution__: Engineers fixed the problem by disabling the Facebook count information.
67+
68+
__Next Steps__: We opened an internal tracking issue to fix our usage of Facebook API.
69+
70+
### 12/15/2016 - Unable to send emails via PowerShellGallery website
71+
72+
__Status: RESOLVED__
73+
74+
__Summary of Impact__: Between 12/13/2016 and 12/15/2016, any messages sent via Contact Owners, Manage Owners, Contact Support, or Report Abuse were not received by the PowerShell Gallery Administrators.
75+
__Root Cause__: Engineers identified the cause as an authentication issue with the SMTP server.
76+
__Resolution__: Engineers were able to resolve the authentication issue and restore connection to the SMTP server.
77+
__Next Steps__: If you used the Contact Owners, Manage Owners, Contact Support, or Report Abuse links to send mail to [email protected] during this time and we have not responded, please try again. We apologize for the inconvenience.
78+
79+
80+

### 8/10/2016 - Resolved: Unable to send emails to [email protected]
82+
83+
__Status: RESOLVED__
84+

__Summary of Impact__: Between 8/5/2016 and 8/10/2016, customers were unable to send emails to [email protected], or use the Contact Us feature.
86+
__Root Cause__: Engineers identified the cause as a configuration change of the email account.
87+
__Resolution__: Engineers worked to resolve the configuration issue.
88+

__Status: RESOLVED__

96+
__Summary of Impact__: Between 7/11/2016 and 7/13/2016, a subset of customers experienced issues downloading items from the PowerShell Gallery. The issue likely manifested itself in the following error message returned from Install-Module/Install-Script and Save-Module/Save-Script:

108+
109+
__Preliminary root cause__: Engineers identified an issue with Azure Content Deliver Network (CDN), which was deployed to the PowerShell Gallery on 7/11/2016.
110+
