[Che-student-staff-list] Service outage on Sunday

[Harrington, Michael P]

As you may know, many services, including "MyMail" and the Exchange servers were unavailable today due to the storms in the area.  Power was lost in many buildings on campus for a period of time (Forney didn't appear to lose power - at least my office computer, located in the 'old' side of Forney stayed up and running). 

Unfortunately since most faculty and staff use Exchange for mail there was no easy way to communicate the status of services.

For future reference you might want to bookmark the following pages to have to reference in such situations.

ITAP has a "twitter" and "facebook" page that can be checked.

ECN will usually post an update if there are outages specifically related to the Engineering Computer Network:

The status from the current incident is being reported and updated here: http://www.itap.purdue.edu/newsroom/news/131117_SA_multiple.html

As of now some have access to Exchange (including myself which is why I am sending this).  Please note some services such as Confluence and the Purdue research clusters are still not available.
