The Middletown cash service is unavailable for login.  ITS is looking into it.

The ITS network and data center team worked diligently and are cautiously optimistic that the root cause of today’s disruption has been fixed.   ITS will be monitoring systems especially closely in the next 12-18 hours.

There has been a major network disruption this morning beginning approx. 10:45.  All services were unavailable for more than 45 minutes.  While access has been restored, ITS continues to work on the problem.  We will do our best to minimize further interruptions as much as possible while we attempt to solve the root cause.

Access to WFS has been restored.

WFS has been unavailable throughout our work this morning.  We are working on resolving the issue as quickly as possible.

On Saturday and Sunday, March 16 and March 17, between 6AM and noon, ITS will be replacing networking equipment.  Users accessing systems could experience possible disruption to connections that would last less than a minute.  (For example, WesFiles may not connect during one attempt and will connect less than a minute later.)  It is not possible to know exactly what time a service might experience this hiccup.  Users should expect possible very brief interruptions if working during this time period.  As a result, if you are working, we advise you to save any work often.

If you have more than 100 students in a Moodle 2 course, and if you use the LAE Grader Report, be advised that the report will show only the first 100 students. We are looking into a solution, but in the meantime instructors with large classes on Moodle 2 should use the simple Grader Report to view and edit grades.
