Novell scheduled updates — MAJOR outage — 6:30am-5:00pm

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)
* Lab computers (they all require logins to use).
* 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 (because user authentication is always required)

Blackboard, Internet access and the SIS will remain available.

NOTE: This upgrade was originally scheduled for 6/20 but as of 6/17 it is now re-scheduled for 6/27.
