CTS Announcements & System Status

The Levitt Center and Satterlee 325 computer labs are now back on-line. Problems stemming from yesterday’s campus-wide power outage which caused the lab outages have been rectified.

In the wake of yesterdays power outage, Blackboard is still unavailable. Technicians are working with the vendor to restore the service.

All AIS services have been restored. Banner/BearPAWS and HR Time Accounting are back online.

Around 9:15AM, campus and NiMo power infrastructures were cascadingly impacted by an errant squirrel. The problems took electrical personnel until 12:41PM to resolve. Battery problems prevented the main generator from being useful. Most systems are back online, however pockets of trouble still exist including Banner/BearPAWS, BlackBoard and the campus web server. Technicians continue to work to correct those problems. Please check the network status blog at http://blogs.potsdam.edu/network/ for more information.

Email delivery once again proceeds apace.

Email delivery continues to suffer delays, but is still moving through the queues, albeit slowly.

Email has been backlogged by a large number of messages with large attachments. At this time the surge has passed and mail should be caught up.

All printing was backlogged when a number of massive jobs filled the spooling areas on the campus print server. These have been cleared and all printing should be functioning again.

As of 17:35 on 10/15/09 all voice mail services have been restored. Message Waiting Lights (MWI) are now working properly as well as services utilizing voicemail.potsdam.edu

As of 12PM on Thursday, October 15, 2009 “On-Line” Voice Mail Services are still down. At this time we do not expect them to be restored before 8am on Friday, October 16, 2009. Thank you for your patience while we work diligently to restore this service.
