Network Registration is fully operational once again.
Approximately 71 clients were affected, they have been manually entered to provide access and will be properly entered later today.
We apologize for any interruption of service or inconvenience.
Due to problems with our LDAP servers any new device registrations using DHCP made since approximately 5:30am will be temporarily unavailable.
We have identified the affected client systems and will correct their entries once the LDAP problem is resolved.
New registrations since approximately 12:40pm may be functioning properly at this time.
Please note this only impacts newly registered devices as of this morning.
Users may receive an error message when trying to access Calendars in Blackboard. We are working with Blackboard to correct the problem.
