EMU Information Systems is switching from Jira Service Management to TeamDynamix for IT service management, including Helpdesk and SIS ticketing. All open tickets will be migrated to the new system, and requestors/participants of open tickets may receive an email from helpdesk@emu.edu alerting them of successful ticket migration. This email will also contain a reply token unique to a customer’s ticket in our new platform.

Scheduled outage: major network core software upgrade

UPDATE: As of 2:15 pm the update has been completed and all services have been restored.

On Sunday, August 14 beginning at 12:30 pm IS will be upgrading the software on a core network device. This will result in an extensive outage of technology on campus. All phone, network, and internet access will be unavailable. We recommend no one plan to do office work on campus on Sunday afternoon.

If you are off-campus some services will remain available, including all Google services, Moodle, Salesforce, and www.emu.edu. However, Jenzabar systems including J1 and MyEMU will not be available on or off campus.

If you have questions please email helpdesk@emu.edu.

Scheduled Outage: Wireless Connectivty and Network Connectivity

Update: IS found additional problems that could not be resolved with this upgrade, and the upgrade was not successful. IS will be using the new information found in this procedure to continue working toward a solution. All services were restored by 12:45 am on July 8.

On Thursday, July 7, 2022, the servers that provide users with wireless connectivity to the EMU network and access to the broader Internet will be down. Maintenance will begin at 7:00 PM and the upgrade should take no longer than an hour. Wireless connectivity and access to the broader Internet will be affected for most if not all users.
