\nAffected systems: ugapp1, ugapp2, ugapp3, ugapp4, ugapp5\u200b
\nDescription of maintenance: We are upgrading the admissions application to improve usability. It will be offline from 3am until 6am while we redeploy all services.
\nUser impact: The admissions applications will be offline. Once they return to service the admissions forms will look different and may require that users clear their browser cache.
\nAt this time we know the select box usage is effected and they must be manipulated with a mouse instead of the keyboard. We have contacted the vendor about this problem.\u200b<\/p>\n
\nAffected services: All domain-joined PCs\u200b
\nAffected systems: All domain-joined PCs\u200b
\nDescription of maintenance: \u200bOIT will be changing the default domain for PCs to be ‘FAU’. When signing-in to a computer ‘FAU’ will be the default when asking for credentials. If you need to authenticate with a user account in the IRM domain you will need to enter IRM\\netid and your password (this is rare)
\nUser impact: \u200bWhen prompted for credentials, ‘FAU’ will be the default domain. There is no downtime expected for this change.<\/p>\n
\nAffected services: We will be moving the content directory to faster storage
