Dear colleagues and students,

ITD will be performing maintenance on University systems and services this Saturday, 26th May.

The half-day maintenance will commence from 6am and will complete by midday, as a result, a number of systems and services will be unavailable during this period.

For Staff and on-campus students

  • Various systems will be unavailable for brief periods during the morning as updates are applied.
  • The on-campus network will be unavailable for brief periods during the morning as changes are applied.

We realise that this is the last weekend before the start of exams and we will aim to keep interruptions to the online learning systems to a minimum. However, we recommend that you – wherever possible – download offline copies of your materials for revision during the maintenance. IT Service Desk support will be available throughout the whole weekend (9am–5pm Saturday on Sunday).

This event is one of ITD’s scheduled maintenance windows, during which essential work is carried out to enhance and improve University systems. The schedule of maintenance windows for 2012 is  on the ITD website (http://www.une.edu.au/it-services/policies/ ).  Please check these dates before planning any events that may require I.T. services or support.

 Chris

 Just a quick note to express our thanks to staff throughout the Lamble and TLC buildings who took the time to move the under table cabinets and anything they could off the floor to enable a thorough coverage of the spraying on sat morning.

 This action saved the University a great deal of money (labour and time wise) and also enabled the cleaning staff to vacuum under these areas that dont get cleaned.

 The technichian feels he was able to get a great coverage during this treatment and the follow up in three months will hopefully eradicate these pests.
