| 03/19/2007 | Approximately 65 telephone numbers are down in the Student Union Building due to a contractor cutting a telephone feed cable. We are working to restore full telephone services as soon as possible. We estimate full telephone service to the SUB will be restored by this evening. |
| 03/23/2007 | ITS is improving the way you handle regular password changes. ITAC policy states that you must change the password on your University account every 6 months for security. Previously, everyone was required to change their password on the same day, called "Password Tuesday," twice a year.
To make the process more convenient for you, ITS is eliminating Password Tuesday. Instead, we will send email reminders beginning 30 days before the date you must change your password. You may change it anytime at your convenience, and your new password will be good for another 6 months. If you have any questions about password policy, please call the ITS |
| 03/15/2007 | Friday evening is the regularly scheduled IT weekly maintenance window.
This Friday evening ITS will be performing maintenance on the Cisco Clean Access system. There may be brief network outages in the residence halls when the Clean Access servers are updated. We will keep any network outages as short as possible. |
| 03/13/2007 | The Clean Access problem affecting some residence hall network users has been resolved. |
| 03/09/2007 | Tonight, March 9th at 9:00PM, during the weekly scheduled maintenance window the campus network will be briefly unavailable while software updates are applied to the core network switches. Full network availability will be restored by 9:30PM. |
| 03/08/2007 | Network services have been restored in Brewer, Nason and Blanton buildings. |

| 03/06/2007 | The Banner database server suffered a failure during the system maintenance late Monday morning. It has been determined that the server suffered a hardware failure (unrelated to the system maintenance) which required the system card to be replaced. IBM Hardware support drove in the part and made the necessary repairs and the Huber team completed their maintenance updates.
The Banner system and all Banner services have been restored and are available for use. |
| 03/05/2007 | During an operating system upgrade, IBM service reps on site have experienced a hardware problem that has made Banner systems currently unavailable. They are working on the problem now and we'll post updates as the situation changes. |

| 02/26/2007 | Following the scheduled upgrade on 2/23/2007, student email was not delivered between 10 p.m. on 2/23 and 2 p.m. 2/24. Any email sent during that time was "bounced" back to the sender. All mail should be routed correctly now. |
| 02/23/2007 | TruView and the Streaming Server will both be down for maintenance at about 10:00 p.m. on 2/23/2007. We will be installing operating system updates, including the ones necessary for the 2007 Daylight Savings Time changes. This maintenance is being done during the weekly scheduled maintenance window. |
| 02/22/2007 | In 2005, the United States government passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which changes the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in spring 2007.
This may impact your Outlook Calendar appointments between March 11 and April 1. Microsoft is furiously scrambling to patch its products to properly handle these changes. ITS currently has no assurances to how smoothly this will happen. There is a possibility your appointments in this time period will shift an hour from when you recorded them. To protect your sanity in the face of potential disaster, we recommend you include the starting time in the subject line of all your Outlook appointments between Mar 11 and April 1. That way, in case there is a problem, it can be manually corrected with less hassle. We are working with Microsoft and will share more news with you as we receive it. If you have any questions, please call the Help Desk at x4544. |
| 02/17/2007 | There was a problem with several Truman web services early Saturday morning. The problem was resolved and all Truman web pages are back up. We are investigating to determine the cause. |

| 01/31/2007 | TruView is currently experiencing some issues which began at about 10:45. We hope to have everything back up soon.
UPDATE: TruView service was restored at 10:53. The cause of the problem is still being investigated. |
| 01/26/2007 | During the regularly scheduled maintenance window on 1/26/2007, the administrative web server may be unavailable for short periods beginning at 9:00 p.m. The main Truman website and many departmental and division website may be affected, as well as some content on the TruView portal. |
| 01/28/2007 | MOREnet will transfer its backbone to new high-capacity gigabit backbone links on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2007, beginning at midnight. The upgrade is expected to be complete by 2 a.m. Transferring each backbone segment should take no longer than 10 minutes. As the routing is moved, backup paths should maintain connectivity, but customers may experience short outages. |
