OIT Systems Maintenance, Thurs. July 23 from 3:00AM to 7:00AM

Office of Information Technology will be performing routine systems maintenance which includes but is not limited to rebooting Windows servers as deemed necessary, installing critical patches and other health checks on Thursday, 07/23/2014 from 3:00 AM to 7:00 AM during OIT maintenance window. In addition, the following systems will be specifically impacted:

When: 5:00AM – 5:45AM
Affected services: Blackboard
Affected systems: ​Blackboard
Description of maintenance: OIT will be updating the LiveText Building Block for Blackboard to fix an issue preventing instructors from linking their Blackboard courses with LiveText​
User impact: We do not expect any downtime unless we need to restart, though a restart should not be necessary.  If a restart is necessary the servers can be restarted individually so Blackboard would still not be down.
