ITS staff will be performing required system maintenance on the Columbus Day holiday. Part of this work is to hopefully prevent a recurrence of the outages we experienced last month.
The following is the schedule of outages on Monday, October 11, 2010:
6:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
Moodle, Drupal websites, wikis, blogs, several web applications (Cross Listings, combo lock program, Admissions checklist, balanced scorecard, SEWS, Admissions BB), thin clients, kiosks, Alumni/Dev Advance, and the Help Desk ticket system.
9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
All systems that require login except Mail, Moodle, and the Math server.
If you have any questions about this work, please let me know. To report problems after Monday afternoon, please call the ITS Help Desk, x-3548, or e-mail helpdesk@holycross.edu
The migration is nearly finished. We estimate being finished in the next hour or two. Another update will be posted at that time.
