We will have a brief network and partial systems outage at about 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17th. During this outage,
- The connection between the CBC network and the rest of campus will be down.
- The internal CBC network will remain up. However, we will take the opportunity to apply critical security patches and restart the Windows file server winfs. Therefore, it’s a good idea to close all files open on Windows network shares and log off before 5:00 p.m.
- Access to email will be interrupted, if the system you are using is connected by LAN cable to the network.
- OSU Wireless will not be affected in any way during this outage.
I apologize for the service interruption on a weekday evening, because I know that this will inconvenience users. However, I wanted to make sure that we had complete access to support from OCIO during the down time. It seems like a reasonable compromise to do this on a weekday evening over break week.
