Problem

How would you address the situation where your customer's site went down at a critical moment?

Describe how you would establish incident ownership, assess business impact, coordinate Microsoft support and engineering teams, communicate with the customer, and restore service. Explain how you would balance immediate recovery against root-cause analysis, document decisions, and prevent recurrence. Address escalation, status updates, rollback or failover options, and the post-incident review.
