| 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.

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. |

| 02/09/2007 | TruView will be down for maintenance at approximately 10:30 p.m. on 2/9/2007. This is during the weekly scheduled maintenance window. |

| 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. |

| 01/28/2007 | 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. |
| 01/25/2007 | Network services were briefly unavailable to a portion of Barnett Hall this morning due to electrical construction. Network services have been restored. |
| 01/23/2007 | Some Truman websites hosted on the departmental webserver may be unavailable for brief, sporadic periods throughout the day. This will not affect access to other, non-Truman websites. The problem has been traced to a potential driver problem with one of our webservers.
We have taken steps to minimize downtime until the problem can be corrected. After testing, we have determined the outages may average 3 minutes long, once an hour. We will continue to monitor the situation and post more info as it becomes available. |

We will try to restore normal picture quality as soon as possible but the picture quality may not return to normal until the ice melts. |
