Moving of COE servers

Starting on Saturday, December 29, the College of Education's servers will be moved to a new location in the Education Building as part of the larger Campus Network Upgrade Project. While we expect the entire move to take as many as four days, we will make efforts to keep certain key services, such as web, mail and file servers as available as possible. In spite of this, we expect all services to be unavailable for most of the day on Saturday, December 29th. If you or your students expect to use any College of Education server-based services during this time, please be aware of the expected interruptions to service and adjust work plans and expectations accordingly.
11/20/2007 COE network outage. Starting at approximately 5:00AM on Tuesday, November 20, CITES will begin replacing key components of the Education Building network as part of the larger Campus Network Upgrade Project. This will result 1) in a brief, early-morning network outage for the entire building and 2) a longer outage for the South half of the building* which may extend well into business hours.
