ISG News has posted a new item, 'General IT services downtime on Wed Sep 11 17:00'
In order to upgrade the operating system on several core infrastructure servers of the Department, we schedule a general maintenance downtime on
Wednesday September 11, starting at 17:00, lasting for several hours.
Most services will be affected and unavailable during that time, as they require an authentication with your D-PHYS account (email, file server, print server, managed workstations). Note that, even though you will not be able to check your emails or send new ones, all incoming mails will be received and safely delivered to your inbox afterwards.
Please make sure to save all open documents before 17:00 on that day.
Since we will also change the way file server mounts are authenticated, users who haven't updated their passwords in a very long time might not be able to mount their home directories or group shares after the migration. If you run into this problem on Thursday morning, please first change your password. If the issue persists, contact us.
We will post an update when things are back to normal.
