Emergency Exchange email maintenance
The Office of Information Technology will be applying a patch to resolve a few reported issues with MS Exchange. To minimize impact, this patch will be applied on 1/25/2013 between the hours of 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM. This will require a system reboot which will cause a temporary interruption of Exchange services. This does not impact the delivery of inbound and outbound e-mail messages.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
