All English MSDN and TechNet forums are now read-only

Overview

We are excited to let you know tha all English MSDN and TechNet forums will be set as read-only. Technical support for any active products is now centralized in Microsoft Q&A.

This has been a 6-month effort, to ensure both a smooth transition and consolidation to Microsoft Q&A or to close those forums no longer supported. Microsoft Q&A supports any of your technical question on more than a hundred Microsoft products.

We want to thank our partners and all of you for supporting us in this journey. We hope to see you in Microsoft Q&A. Also, thank you again to the moderators, who volunteered their time and expertise to make MSDN and TechNet forums an inclusive, safe, and welcome place for all our customers. This blog post contains more information about our moderators.
