Residence Hall Door Access Controls (CBord) Are Down

File Server

About 9:30am SPI folks in Residence Halls began reporting that cards no longer gave them access. Phys Plant began investigating which led to collaborating with Info Systems. The root problem was identified about 10:30am. Phys Plant and Info Systems personnel are working to resolve the problem.

12:00 noon UPDATE: A workaround has been found. Doors should soon be operational again.

01:00 PM UPDATE: Phys Plant personnel report that the system should be working again. An email of explanation will be sent to non-students by Phys Plant.

Scheduled file server updates

File Server

Many major systems will be unavailable while a routine upgrade is made to our Novell NetWare file servers.

All services that require the Royal username and password will be inaccessible for most/all of the outage period. This includes, but is not limited to:

* Novell file and print (i.e. Z:, G:, P: drives)
* Windows lab computers.
* With few exceptions, projection system workstations will not be accessible (a few will have the “Workstation Only” option, which is mentioned in the documentation at the workstation).
* Wireless Network

Blackboard and Internet access will remain available.
