Server Downtime and Maintenance

It is occasionally necessary to bring the network file servers down to perform maintenance. This will affect access to network shares (N drive, O drive, R drive) and network printers. Most often, this is due to patches for the operating system which are put out by Microsoft.  Patches are available as often as once a month. Hackers exploit the information about the patches provided by Microsoft to write worms and trojans making it extremely important to apply them as soon as possible. CAS Computing makes every attempt to give 24 hour notice of any server downtime. Information will be posted on our alerts web page regarding upcoming down times. An email will also be sent to all faculty and staff in the College. If you are not receiving these notices, email cascomp@albany.edu and we will add you to our distribution list.

ITS maintains the email servers, WebCT, IAS, MyUAlbany and many other services.
