This article is contributed. See the original author and article here.

We would like to inform you that we are investigating an issue where certain lab operations may fail. Based on our current investigation, this is happening due to an outage within the Azure Active Directory service and is non-regional. 

More details on the outage here: https://status.azure.com/en-us/status

As of 22:40 UTC, following lab operations may not work as expected:

• Labs Account owners may not be able to sign in to the Azure portal
• Labs owners/users may not be able to sign in to Azure Lab Services(labs.azure.com) portal and/or their virtual machines  
• Lab schedules may fail to run as expected
• If the VM’s are currently running, enabled auto-shutdown features(Idle, etc.) may not be triggered as expected

We will continue to monitor for a fix and post updates here. 

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. Please add a comment for any questions.
