I still can not create inbound on premise connectors using the adminui after 28/01/2023

According to the final update of this incident, the rollout of the fix has been completed as of Monday February 6, 2023, at 10:00 PM UTC.

The ongoing operation of existing connectors was not impacted by this event. If your organization uses one of the identified SKU(s) the issue may have affected the modification of existing email transport connectors that were created before the impact start time.

If you're an admin within an organization whose Microsoft tenant was created on or after January 1, 2023, and you continue to see the issue described in this incident after February 6, 2023, please open a support ticket.

Final status: We've confirmed the rollout of the fix has been completed as of Monday February 6, 2023, at 10:00 PM UTC. Previously impacted customers could have experienced relief prior, when the fix was in the process of being deployed within their environment.

End time: Monday, February 6, 2023, 10:00 PM (2:00 PM UTC)

Root cause: A recent change to the service introduced a regression that may have prevented some admins from creating or modifying Exchange email transport connectors within an organization with the affected SKU(s).

Next Steps:
We're reviewing our change management procedures to identify ways to prevent or more quickly remediate impact related to changes of this type.

This is the final update for this event.
