Greetings!

We wanted to let you know that we will be performing network cutovers in your building today, March 22nd starting at around 4:00 p.m. This means that for some time interval after 4:00, your network connectivity will go out.

In terms of your work flow, we suggest that you save your work frequently and watch for IT staff who will do all that they can to let you know when to expect the outage, and when the outage is complete. This time window might afford you a good break from computer/network tasks - some staff are doing office filing and spring cleaning, or scheduling meetings in other buildings, or even working from home. If you need computer access during this time, let us know and we'll give you guidance on public computer labs where you might work (in buildings already cutover or otherwise not impacted by this particular outage window).

When you return on Friday, you will be on the new network! (Remember that until the process is complete for everything in mid-may you won't notice a performance increase).

You will find a sheet of instructions on your computer or office door for a brief computer registration process that you will need to complete before your computer will access the network. We recommend you come in a little early on Friday to allow for this process - we will have a team of IT staff in the building to help you register and answer any questions.

Printers will not work until we set them up on the new network, which will be happening throughout the day on Friday - if you have a printer you need to get working asap, call the Help Desk and we'll do what we can to move it to the front of the list.
