Fieldhouse and Aquatics Network Unavailable Due to Scheduled Facilities Maintenance 01/13/2017 [completed]

Facilities has completed their work.

Facilities is performing scheduled electric maintenance in the Fieldhouse. This means all network-related services (phone, internet, wifi) will be unavailable until the power is back on.

Thank you for your patience.

[Resolved] Logon Issue

A number of university systems were adversely impacted by a time synchronization issue. Correct time synchronization plays a key role in authentication across various systems and an incorrect date from a US Navy time source disrupted authentication. We have changed our servers to synchronize from another time source which has resolved the problem.

If you are still experiencing logon issues, please contact the Technology Service Desk at 253.879.8585 or servicedesk@pugetsound.edu.

K20 Internet resolution

INVOLVING: K20

 CURRENT EVENT START  : 12/13/10 22:22 PST

CURRENT EVENT STOP   : 12/14/10 16:18 PST

 SUMMARY:

  This notice is being sent to all K-20 customers.

  The network outage involving WSIPC (and serveral other nearby K-20 sites) appears to have been fixed as of 16:18 this evening.  The circuit provider ran a new section of fiber cable around the broken portion to bring them back up.  We do not yet know whether that new fiber path is temporary or permanent.  (If it’s temporary, there may be a planned outage in the future when they move the circuits back to the original fiber.)

  WSIPC’s DNS servers are answering DNS queries again.  Their other services should be back up too.

Email Problems

There were reports last night and this morning that user were having problems connecting to webmail. The problem appears to be linked to the Sophos PureMessage software and the timing of the quarantine digest messages and the slow disk array.

We updated our PureMessage configuration to send on digest messages instead of having each server send individual messages. The result being that all the messages hit the mail server and the same time and overwhelmed it with e-mail and client access with the start of the business day.

We are modifying the interval for digest messages from twice a day to once per day and moving the time to 1:30 am each morining.
