Problem description

Unable to connect to Microsoft 365 Advanced app. Check configuration status. All the Microsoft 365 workload backups fails with error EAUTH.

A few of the reasons why this occurs are as follows:

  • The global admin password has been changed.

  • One of the Druva Microsoft 365 apps is deleted.

  • Global admin is disabled or deleted.

  • Microsoft 365 tenant policy-level changes.

  • Conditional access policy is applied.

  • MFA is enabled on the Microsoft 365 environment.
