Update: 08-Aug 10, 2012 @ 17:45
The replacement of the failing Windows 2003 server with a new Windows 2008 completed successfully and most dependent systems are working normally. However, we discovered some compatibility issues with AITS systems that perform Kerberos authentication against our Windows domain controllers. Brian and Tulio are working with AITS to find a permanent resolution.

Update:

We will be re-attempting the replacement of uisdc1 today at approximately 11:15 am. There may be a brief period of time (5-15 minutes) where people logging into Contribute and the portal may experience intermittent problems. Those who are already logged in will not be affected.

As announced last week, uisdc1 and uiscore1, the last Windows 2003 Domain Controllers, are going to be decommissioned this week.

Today during the lunch hour we plan to shut these servers down in preparation for this process. Please report any issues to the Systems Support team as soon as possible.
