Hi. We are currently experimenting with Azure Active Directory. Recently, when I try to add a user using the Invite external user feature, the recipient gets an email as usual, but the link returns a 404! I have tried multiple email addresses, but all invites I sent out fail. I get the attached 404 when pressing the https://login.microsoftonline.com/redeem?rd=******************** invite link. Is the service down? it worked in the past.

    @Søren Alsbjerg Hørup , I just did the test and it works fine for me. I added the user to my AAD Tenant as guest user and that user did receive the email from my tenant with the invitation. When clicked on the "Get Started" button, it takes me to the invitations' link and asks for the consent. Please refer to the screenshot below:

    I have not used that url https://b2b.azure.net/signup?tenant, before. But try the email way and I hope that works for you.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi!
    Thanks!

    I retested, the link i pasted was after i clicked it - meaning it was not the link in the email - i will update the post.
    If i copy the link directly from the get started email, i get this:
    https://login.microsoftonline.com/redeem?rd=********************

    If i click it, it throws a 404!

    I resendt the invitation, same story: 404!.

    I am very puzzled.

    Hi.

    I just retested today.
    I no longer get a 404, but i get a:
    Invitation redemption failed
    An error has occurred. Please retry again shortly.

    @Anonymous , do you still get a 404 or a redemption failed?

    Thanks for letting me know.

    I just tried again and the invitation worked for me, no issues this time! Maybe try resending your invitation?
