Beginning at 9:00 PM, campus MACs will receive updates to Adobe Flash, Safari, and MacOS. All MAC users are encouraged to log off and leave their computers on when leaving work today to aid in the installation process.

Also at 9:00 PM, there will be brief interruptions to several back-end systems and services as we perform reboots as part of the patching and maintenance process. There should be very minimal impact to campus users at this time.

Computing Services thanks you for your patience and understanding as we perform these critical maintenance activities. As always, if you have any questions, please call the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at 7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu

Tonight at 7:00 PM, Computing Services will be performing required maintenance on our campus wireless system. Our hopes are that this will be minimally disruptive to our campus since most students are gone for the Thanksgiving break. The interruption to wifi should last no longer than 30 minutes.

As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at x7741 or at computingservices@adams.edu

Thanks and have a great week and happy holiday!

***FACULTY- Notice of maintenance on PCs in all TEC Classrooms, please backup any local data***

Over the Thanksgiving week, Computing Services will be reimaging all Windows computers in the TEC Classrooms to address the slow login times that we have been seeing around campus. As part of this, if you save any files to the desktop, you will need to backup these files so that they aren’t lost in the reimaging process. If you need assistance with this, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the helpdesk for assistance.

Computing Services wants to make all students, faculty and staff aware of our scheduled maintenance taking place this Saturday. Starting at 12:00 AM and lasting until roughly 2:00 PM, ALL Banner services will be unavailable as we perform a critical Financial Aid upgrade and migration of the storage system for our Banner systems. During this time, students will be temporarily unable to login and use web services through the One Stop Student Services page for registration, etc.

We know there is never a perfect time to perform these types of upgrades, but have worked with our rDBA team to start in the early hours of the morning to reduce the impact and downtime that campus experiences.

Computing Services thanks you for your patience and understanding as we perform these critical maintenance activities. As always, if you have any questions, please call the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at 7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu

We have all heard the term “malware” bandied about. Here is the explanation from the experts at the SANS institute:

Have you ever wanted to reply to the Nigerian Prince with a fortune to share?  Here are some tips from the expert:

The PROD Banner database and server have been restarted and are functional. The systems will be closely monitored today and the campus will be notified if the system experiences any more problems and/or needs another restart. Please notify us immediately by creating a ticket at https://helpdesk.adams.edu if you encounter issues in PROD or if you did not receive your nightly scheduled cron output.

The PROD Banner database is experiencing a critical memory issue, so must be brought down and restarted. Please logout of any open Banner browser windows and out of Self-Service Banner. The restart will happen at 10 am today. The DBAs are actively troubleshooting and working on this issue. There may need to be subsequent restarts today, so we will keep the campus apprised of the database status.

Computing Services thanks you for your patience and understanding on this critical issue. As always, if you have any questions, please call the ASU Computing Services Helpdesk at 7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu

Beginning at 9:00 PM, campus PCs will receive updates to Windows and Java. All PC users are encouraged to log off and leave their computers on when leaving work today to aid in the installation process.

Also beginning at 9:00 PM, Computing Services will be performing maintenance on several back-end systems. There will be minimal interruptions to campus services as we perform these maintenance activities.
