Network Outage Cancelled: Tuesday, 16-Feb-2021

We are cancelling a network outage announced in meetings at the end of last week, that was tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, 16-Feb-2021. The planned maintenance will be deferred until a later date.

Vivaldi vs. Firefox

As announced in previous newsletters, the primary web browser supported by CLASSE-IT is now Vivaldi. Instructions for launching Vivaldi, importing bookmarks, and setting Vivaldi as the deafult browser are available here. For those websites that do not work well with Vivaldi, we are continuing to make Firefox available on CLASSE-managed systems as a backup or secondary option. For assistance with using Vivaldi, please submit a ServiceRequest.

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.
