The physical AD server (davdcfau01) has been replaced by a virtual instance. Additionally, the IRM AD server from Davie (davdcirm01) has been deployed on the newly created virtual host.
Davie is reporting no issues or errors at this time.
Thank you
The Davie Active Directory server (davdcfau01) has experienced a physical hardware failure.
We are working to bring up a virtual instance of the server.
We will post updates as we progress.

1:00a.m.-6:00a.m: Security will be performing upgrades from pre-release code to release code on the Boca firewall clusters.
This will intermittently impact access between networks on the Boca campus, as well as to and from the internet.
4:00a.m. to 6:00a.m: Networking will be moving Metro Ethernet between routers.
This will cause a short disruption in service between Boca and all partner campuses.
4:00a.m. to 6:00a.m: Networking will be working in conjunction with Systems for capacity and reliability updates to specific switches in the Datacenter.
This will cause a loss of connectivity for a couple of minutes to various servers in the datacenter including Blackboard, vWorkspace, Graduate Admission Application, Old DNS (nsboc1), SCCM, EMS and Meeting Matrix, Exchange, Talisma, College of Education HyperV server, DHCP, DNS, Identity Manager, PhoneBill, Network Registration, Lists, Sharepoint, Talisma, Xitracs, OwlRadio.
