At roughly 11:30 AM, Computing Services was able to restore all services and functions to the Banner Web system. There will be some follow-up maintenance that will need to take place, but we will schedule it to happen in our normal maintenance window to try to minimize further impact.

January 23rd, 2018 — Announcement, Maintenance Announcements, System Status
Beginning yesterday evening, we began experiencing issues with our BannerWeb environment. We’ve been working with our vendor to restore these services, and hope to have everything working later this afternoon if not sooner. This will affect Banner Web Services such as School Services and Faculty/Employee services intermittently as we are working to resolve the issue. This should not impact on-campus Banner Forms access and functionality. This was not a planned maintenance activity, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
If you have any questions, please call our Helpdesk at x7741 or contact us via email at computingservices@adams.edu
Thank you,

***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.
