| 12/17/2004 | The main adminstrative web server, Argon, failed during a scheduled reboot at 1:15am. It appears that a driver failed at startup and hung the system. This problem appears to be unrelated to the error reported on Tuesday. The server was manually rebooted at 4:00am. This cleared the error and all services are functioning normally at this time. |
| 12/15/2004 | Due to an error on the administrative database server, websites on multiple web servers were malfunctioning this morning - sites were either displaying errors, or not loading at all. The error on the database server has now been cleared and we are working to reconnect from the various webservers. |
| 12/14/2004 | The main administrative server, Argon, is experiencing failures this morning due to a log-file drive unexpectedly filling to capacity. We are working to correct the problem and Argon should be functioning normally within the next 30 minutes. |
| 12/12/2004 | Internet access was disrupted due to virus activity in the residence halls. The responsible ports were disabled and services were restored. |

| 12/02/2004 | Network services to Magruder Hall have been restored. A temporary fiber connector that was installed after Tuesday night's fiber break had come loose. |
| 11/30/2004 | Network services are currently unavailable to Magruder Hall. The fiber optic link to the building appears to have been damaged by construction work. We are investigating and will restore network services as soon as possible. Update: services were restored at 8:57 pm |
| 11/29/2004 | The SSL or "secure identifier" certificate for the Exchange mail server had to be replaced today. Access should now be restored to all users of the Exchange mail server using the application of the user's choice.
While the certificate was expired, Outlook desktop application users should have been unaffected; Eudora desktop application users may have been unable to check their mail and all clients accessing their mail via Outlook Web Access (OWA) should have received a message indicating the secure certificate was valid, but expired. Selecting "yes" to proceed allowed access as normal to the Exchange mailboxes. There was a brief time this morning while the expired certificate was removed and the new one installed that the OWA was also unavailable. Please be aware that the certificate's expiration did not affect the actual security of the traffic to and from the e-mail server. An SSL certificate is similar to a bonding process in which an outside company verifies that we are actually the organization we purport to be. What expired was our contract with Verisign to verify our identity, not our actual security configuration. |
| 11/22/2004 | The administrative webserver argon will be restarted at approximately 1:20 p.m. to resolve an installation issue with a custom application. |
| 11/18/2004 | Web Server Silver will be rebooted at 6:30pm during the ITS Maintenance Window. This should affect only the athletics website for a period of perhaps 5 minutes. |
| 11/16/2004 | Due to a hard drive failure on a server the U: drive data has been restored from a backup to a new server. Network logon scripts have been updated with this server change but people manually connecting to the U: drive will need to update their path. The new network path for the U drive is: \\Hydrogen\Student_Files |
