NoMachine Update: Tuesday, 06-Apr-2021

On Tuesday, 06-Apr-2021, starting at 4:00 AM, all NoMachine servers will be updated to the latest release. When this update occurs, any remote sessions will disconnect and any virtual desktops will quit. The update to each server will take a minute or two, after which you will be able to reconnect to the physical display and create new virtual desktops as usual.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
