System administrators have temporarily moved the virtual store to another hard drive.

To complete the process, they will take the virtual store down at nine o’clock tonight for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. Only those users whose accounts were affected this morning and afternoon will notice any effects during this planned outage.

We are experiencing an issue affecting Exchange email users. It is a separate issue than this morning with what appears to be the same storage set, so again it is not affecting all users, but a specific set of users. 

 

The Sys Admins are working on the issue and we will let you know when it is resolved.

Not all users were affected.

Windows administrators corrected the problem. Everyone should now be able to access their Exchange email.

Through the use of log files, we were able to return the system to its state of 1:37 PM local time.  Any work done in the 71 minute span between these two times will have been lost. We deeply regret the inconvenience this causes you. Questions may be directed to the Blackboard support team at 243-4999.

Please let us know within 2 weeks (by Oct. 22th) if you are using this server, and we will migrate your development site.  Otherwise your content will be archived and will no longer be accessible on the development server.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

However, since some IT web servers are housed on the first floor of the Social Science building, as a precautionary measure, IT will bring down these servers Sunday morning between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. This means that some web services will be impacted. If you attempt to access an IT-hosted web service or website during this time and are unable to do so, it may be related to this outage. Here are several services that will be unavailable:

  • OneStop announcement feeds
  • Access to the following websites:
    • Ask an Alum
    • Western MT Volunteers
    • Student Jobs
    • Faculty Senate
    • Diversity site (connect.umt.edu)
    • Blackberry service (users have been notified)
    • Blogs & Wikis
    • UM campus map
    • UM News and Events
    • Select Survey
    • AV requests

Thank you.
