The network video recording server (UISNVR1) used by campus police and housing will go down tomorrow morning for some scheduled maintenance. It is reporting memory errors. All affected personnel have been notified 🙂

Blackboard is experiencing issues with respect to enrollment add-drops due to an API functionality change they made.
ITS is investigating and more information will be posted as it becomes available.

This problem has been resolved.
Shellie Treat will join the ITS Systems and Services and Vsphere and Security teams as the Assistant Director of Network Services on Monday January 28. She will be responsible for providing leadership and supervision to the teams.
Shellie brings supervisory skills, project management experience, and network security experience to the position. In her roles with the Springfield Clinic, Netconn Solutions and Hanson Information Systems, Ms. Treat demonstrated the ability to lead departments, manage technical projects, create and implement security structures, and provide customer service. She is excited to meet you all and to contribute to our mission.
Please stop by HSB 121 on Monday January 28 to welcome Shellie to our campus.
Tomorrow during the maintenance window we are going to enable the 10-gig interfaces on the network cores. This may cause a brief disruption of network traffic.
We are also updating the config on the Citrix Netscaler to prepare it for additional load balanced services. There may be a brief disruption as we change the system’s default gateway.

I will remove the SMTP service from the UISMBX2 (10.101.10.40) server this morning. Logs indicate no mail has been routed through this service since we changed the MX and DNS records last week. It will remain an Exchange mailbox server with a delayed replay time of 3 days.
No users should be affected by this change unless they has an application hard coded to use this specific SMTP server.
Brian
Inbound mail is backed up – the cause is currently being investigated.

Campus Announcements send job is failing intermittently due to a connection error. Â Subsequent attempts (later in the day) at sending the announcements (running the job) out usually work.
Guest user creation has been repaired. All wireless is functioning properly.
The IMAP issues on UISCAS2 have been resolved. IMAP traffic will now be load balanced between both CAS servers.
Brian
A problem was discovered with the IMAP service on the UISCAS2 server. It is generating errors when connecting. All IMAP traffic (which is virtually none) is being directed solely to UISCAS1 until the problem on UISCAS2 can be repaired.
