TITANNET/Exchange Connectivity Restored...

Maintenance for the TITANNET/Exchange environment has been completed. We were able to restore functionality, but minor outages may still occur as we transisiton over to the new equipment.

ITS

Reminder - TitanNet/Exchange Maintenance Scheduled for 5:00 pm Today

Reminder - Today, UDM’s TitanNet (not TitanConnect) Windows domain environment will be brought down for maintenance starting at 5:00 pm.  All users should be logged off by that time.  We anticipate TitanNet and its related services will return to full operation by 8:00 pm that evening.  Information about the work will be posted to the UDM ITS Outage Blog at http://udm-its.blogspot.com.

 

During this time, access to the TitanConnect Portal/Email system will remain fully functional.

 

Users will not be able to access their TitanNet home or group drives from their desktop computers or remote connections.  Exchange users will be able to continue to use their Outlook client to read and write messages however all incoming and outgoing messages will be queued.

 

Users who do not access the TitanNet system (i.e. Law School) will not be affected in any way by this short outage.

 

If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let us know.

Update on the SPAM upgrade

As of this morning, users can log into their junk boxes.  There are a few remaining issues the vendor’s technical support is working through to complete this project.  One of those items is the ability for individual users to add their own people and companies to personal allowed list.

 

E-mail/SPAM Upgrade In Progress

As previously announced, incoming e-mail is temporarily being queued until an upgrade of the e-mail and SPAM solution is complete. Intracampus mail should be processing fine as well as any mail that is being sent beyond the @udmercy.edu domain.

Exchange Outages

Some Exchange and BlackBerry users are experiencing service outages on a regular basis. During this time messages are not received or sent. We are aware of the problem, and we are taking steps to correct it. If you are seeing periods of Exchange down-time, please let us know when you find the system not sending or receiving. All messages are queued, so delivery is made for all after the system is reconnected.

SPAM Upgrade 7/8/2010 @ 2pm

Starting at 2:00 pm on Thursday, July 8, 2010, UDM's Mailborder SPAM solution will be upgraded. This upgrade will involve queueing of incoming e-mail while the system is worked on. We anticipate this may up to three hours of time.
