By default, Support and Recovery Assistant collects diagnostic logs to help troubleshoot problems in the following scenarios.

  • Support and Recovery Assistant sometimes collects diagnostic logs when the tool fails to solve a user's problem.

  • Support and Recovery Assistant collects diagnostic logs when a user chooses to run advanced diagnostics. Typically this happens at the request of an admin or Microsoft support engineer.

Office 365 uses diagnostic logs to improve the tool to provide better troubleshooting in the future. Microsoft support engineers can also use these logs to analyze your user's specific issue more throughly. As an admin, you can make a registry edit to prevent users from collecting diagnostic logs if your organization wants to limit data sharing.

Caution

Registry Editor is a tool intended for advanced users. Follow the steps in this article carefully to make sure you only make changes to data collection for Support and Recovery Assistant. Before making changes to the registry, create a backup in case something goes wrong. For more information about creating a backup, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

Option 1 - Create a new registry entry

To turn off data collection in Support and Recovery Assistant, you need to create the following registry entry.

Subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftSupport and Recovery Assistant

DWORD Value: UploadDiagnosticLogsDisabled

Value: 1

For details about creating registry values, see How to add, modify, or delete registry subkeys and values by using a .reg file.

With the registry entry in place, Support and Recovery Assistant can't collect diagnostic logs. If you want to re-enable log collection later, you can either change the value to 0 or delete the registry entry.

Option 2 - Edit an existing registry subkey

If you previously created a registry entry for Support and Recovery Assistant, you can edit the entry to turn off data collection. Use the following steps to edit an existing registry subkey to disable data collection.

  1. Open Registry Editor.

  2. Go to the following registry subkey location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftSupport and Recovery Assistant

  3. Double-click the Reg_DWORD named UploadDiagnosticLogsDisabled. (If you don't see UploadDiagnosticLogsDisabled, you need to add it using the instructions in Option 1 - Create a new registry entry.)

  4. In Value data, type 1, and select OK.

  5. Close Registry Editor.

After editing this registry value, users can't collect diagnostic logs.

Determine if Support and Recovery Assistant is collecting data

Support and Recovery Assistant will collect log data if either of the following settings are present.

  • The UploadDiagnosticLogsDisabled DWORD Value is set to anything besides 1.

  • The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftSupport and Recovery Assistant subkey is not present.

When users report that they aren't getting email, it can be hard to find what's wrong. You might run through several troubleshooting scenarios in your mind. Is something wrong with Outlook? Is the Office 365 service down? Is there a problem with mail flow or spam filter settings? Or is the problem due to something that's outside your control, like the sender is on a global block list? Fortunately, Office 365 provides powerful automated tools that can help you find and fix a variety of problems.

First things first, check if there's a problem with Outlook or another email app

If only one user is reporting having trouble receiving email, there might be a problem with their email account or their email app. Have the affected user try the following solutions before you move on to admin-specific tasks.

Use Outlook on the web to look for missing messages - 5 minutes

If a user is receiving email in their Outlook on the web mailbox but not on the email app that's installed on their machine, that could indicate that there's an issue with the users machine or email app. Ask the user with the issue to sign in to Outlook on the web to verify that their Office 365 email account is working correctly.

Instructions:Sign in to Outlook on the web for business

Run Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant to fix Outlook problems or account issues - 10 minutes

If a single user in your organization is having trouble receiving email, it could be due to a licensing issue, a profile problem, the wrong version of Outlook, or a mix of other issues. Fortunately, Support and Recovery Assistant finds and helps you fix most issues with Outlook or Office 365. As a first step in troubleshooting email delivery problems for Office 365 for business, we recommend that you download and run Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant on the affected machine. Note that if you are experiencing issues with Outlook for Mac or are having mobile access issues, you can use the app to check your account settings, but you need to install it on a PC. After you sign in with the affected account, the app will check for issues. Users can typically download and run Support and Recovery Assistant without help from their Office 365 admin.

If the Support and Recovery Assistant app doesn't fix the email delivery issue, try these admin tools

As an Office 365 for business admin, you have access to several tools that can help you investigate why users can't get email. The following video gives a brief overview of the tools available to you.

The following tools are listed from the quickest to the most in-depth option.

Check Office 365 service health for Exchange Online issues - 5 minutes

The service health page lists the status of Office 365 services and indicates if there have been any recent service incidents. Use the following steps to check the service health.

  1. Where to sign in to Office 365 for business with your work or school account.

  2. Select the app launcher icon in the upper-left and choose Admin.

    Tip

    Admin appears only to Office 365 administrators.

    Can't find the app you're looking for? From the app launcher, select All apps to see an alphabetical list of the Office 365 apps available to you. From there, you can search for a specific app.

  3. Under Service health, go to View the service health.

If there is an indication that ExchangeOnline service is degraded, email delivery might be delayed for your organization, and CompanyName service engineers are already working to restore service. Check the service health page for progress updates. In this case, you don't need to open a service request because CompanyName is already working to resolve the issue.

Use message trace for in-depth email delivery troubleshooting - 15 minutes

Sometimes an email message gets lost in transit, or it can take a lot longer than expected for delivery, and your users can wonder what happened. The message trace feature lets you follow messages as they pass through your Exchange Online service. Getting detailed information about a specific message lets you efficiently answer your user's questions, troubleshoot mail flow issues, validate policy changes, and can prevent you from needing to contact technical support for assistance.

Open the message trace tool

If you're an Office 365 Midsize Business, Office 365 Business, or Office 365 Enterprise admin, you access and run the message trace tool through the Exchange admin center. To get there, do the following:

  1. Where to sign in to Office 365 for business with your work or school account.

  2. Select the app launcher icon in the upper-left and choose Admin.

    Tip

    Admin appears only to Office 365 administrators.

    Can't find the app you're looking for? From the app launcher, select All apps to see an alphabetical list of the Office 365 apps available to you. From there, you can search for a specific app.

  3. Go to Exchange.

  4. Under mail flow, go to message trace.

  1. Go to Admin > Service settings > Email, calendar, and contacts.

Run a message trace and view delivery details of messages sent in the last week

By default, message trace is set to search for all messages sent or received by your organization in the past 48 hours. You can choose Search at the bottom of the page to generate this report. This report can give you a general idea about what is happening with mail flow in your organization. However, to troubleshoot a specific user's mail delivery issue, you want to scope the message trace results to that user's mailbox and the time frame that they expected to receive the message.

  1. From the Date range menu, choose the date range that is closest to the time that the missing message was sent.

  2. Use Add sender and Add recipient to add one or more senders and recipients, respectively.

View the results of a message trace that is greater than 7 days old

  • Click the link inside the email notification that is sent when the trace is completed.

  • To view a list of traces that were run for items that are more than 7 days old, click View pending or completed traces in the message trace tool.

    In the resulting UI, the list of traces is sorted based on the date and time that they were submitted, with the most recent submissions appearing first.

    When you select a specific message trace, additional information appears in the right pane. Depending on what search criteria you specified, this may include details such as the date range for which the trace was run, and the sender and intended recipients of the message.

Note

Message traces containing data that is greater than 7 days old are automatically deleted. They cannot be manually deleted.
