A DNS server may have returned incorrect results between 2 am and 3:30 pm Sunday May 5th. These errors may have caused intermittent issues when connecting to some services such as PRT. The server has been repaired and is behaving normally at this time.

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, 03/21/2013 from 3:00 AM to 7:00 AM during OIT maintenance window. In addition, the following systems will be specifically impacted:
When: 3:00 – 7:00 AM
Affected services: Events Management 9.0.0/9.0.1 upgrades, Position Control 8.8.0.2 patch, HR/Payroll 8.8.1.9 & 8.8.1.10 patches
Affected systems: Banner FAUP
Description of maintenance: The above mentioned Banner modules will be installed to the specified version in production FAUP.
User impact: There will be no user downtime.
When: 3:00 – 6:00 AM
Affected Systems: bba3, bba6, bba4, bbm1, cuttlefish, dhcpboc1, frevvo1, mad-development, sacs, ldapboc1, ieadata
Groups Involved: Systems
Description of Maintenance: These virtual machines will be migrated from hvbocclust02 to boc22hvclust02
User Impact: The following systems will be unavailable for approximately for 30 to 60 minutes during the window bba3, bba6, bba4, bbm1, cuttlefish, dhcpboc1, frevvo1, mad-development, sacs, ldapboc1, ieadata
When: 5:00 – 6:00 AM

Affected Systems: none
Groups Involved: Middleware
Description of Maintenance: We will be enabling two features in FAU’s Google Applications environment (Owl Apps). The first is additional functionality in Google+, and the second Google Applications rapid release which provides FAU students access to Googles latest features as they are released.
User Impact: Our Google Applications environment will be more in sync with the public versions of Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, etc.
When: 3:00 – 6:00 AM
Affected Services: Lists.fau.edu
Affected Systems: Lists.fau.edu
Groups Involved: Middleware
Description of Maintenance: We will be replacing the boca list server with a clone of the server running at northwest. This maintenance must occur because the existing server cannot be updated and packaged software cannot be installed due to a corruption of the RPM databases.
User Impact: The list servers will be offline during this maintenance we will return them to service around 5:30 am. Users will not be able to send or receive messages from any address on the @lists.fau.edu domain. Users will also be using a cleaned up style for the application.
When: 5:30am to 6:00am
Affected Services: Email
Description of Maintenance:
The current alias file generation process will be altered so that those with mail forwarding addresses to ad.fau.edu or my.fau.edu will be directly reflected in the aliases. Mail for most people with gmail or owa_access roles will now exit the virus scanners and go directly to exchange or gmail instead of unnecessarily flowing into MyFAU’s mail server (mcmail) and then getting forwarded from there.
User Impact: None
