We are working with Rave and Barracuda tech support to improve the delivery of the email portion of the emergency alert system. We are planning to send an email only, through RAVE this morning at approximately 11:15. This email is going to the ITS staff and 50 test accounts (not real people) only. We will let you know the results.

This is a reminder that a fire drill will be conducted at HSB on Thursday, October 25 at 9:30 a.m.

In preparation for the drill, please be sure that permanent occupants of the building are notified in advance and reminded about the assembly point.  For HSB, the assembly point is the quad near the colonnade.  In the event of inclement weather, the lobby of Sangamon Auditorium should be used as the assembly point.

Drill Procedures

1. When the alarm sounds, exit the area immediately.  Take personal belongings.  Lock work areas and offices.  Close doors.
2. Exit the building using the most direct route and the nearest exit.  Do not use elevators.
3. Report directly to the assigned Assembly Point.
4. Remain at the Assembly Point until the “All Clear” is given by the UIS Police.  Please note that the length of the drill depends on successful reset of the fire alarms by Facilities personnel.

Your assistance and cooperation is appreciated.

Thank you.

Ian,

Many thanks for your excellent help in making sure all went smoothly with the Lincoln Legacy Lectures in Brookens Auditorium last night. The speakers and the audience had a good experience.  I appreciate both your technical skills and your supportive attitude in helping us plan and carry out the event.  I look forward to working with you in the future,

iOS AirPlay Services in an Enterprise Network
[Track: Batman]

As iOS devices become more prevalent across campus, users are demanding seamless integration. Our campus community has a need to wirelessly project their mobile devices. At UIS, we turned to AirServer to meet this need and successfully launched the service in August with rave reviews. In this session, we will describe the technical considerations/implications and showcase examples of implementation.
http://itproforum.illinois.edu/2012Fall

Due to a change in the way Cisco engineered its latest upgrade to our ACS server (what we use to perform authentications to the wireless network, including the eduroam network), we need to make a minor change to how UIS users configure their eduroam authentication settings.

For the user login ID, please have UIS users use the following format:

yournetid@uisad.uis.edu

All other eduroam configuration information remains unchanged.

P.S. This change applies only to UIS campus accounts. All other eduroam users should following the instructions provided by their respected campuses.

The UIS electricians have discovered a bad fuse on the 3rd phase of the power feed to LRH. So some things are working and in other locations they are not. Currently 7 of the 22 AP units in LRH down, along with 3 switches. The electricians are trying to locate a replacement fuse and hope to have one on campus yet today. When they are ready to replace the fuse they will need to take power away from both LRH and FRH completely in order to install the new fuse safely. I have been told that I will be notified in advance of the power being disconnected from these two buildings.

I will update the post with any new information.

Server UISData1 is used for shared network space by departments across campus, including ITS. By a large margin, ITS folks use the vast majority of the space on this server, most of it hosting items such as ISO files, software installations, backups of harddrives, etc.

The data drive for this server (2 TB in size) filled up over the weekend, which is causing problems for all users.

To better manage the space, we will be relocating much of the static content to a separate drive on this server that will not be included in the nightly backup cycle. Share names and access privileges will remain the same, so there should be only minor disruption with normal operations.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
