Network issues on campus : 06/15/2009

We are sorry you had trouble using your computer on campus today.

The university has been experiencing network issues since 10:40am this morning due to hardware problems. Services available to Business School users such as the Sawyer Computing Center, classrooms, internet access, email, My Documents, Remote Access and shared drives were disrupted. ITS has been working on the issue, but there is no confirmation yet that it is fully resolved. Rest assured ITS engineers are working hard to fix it.

We will update you once we have more information available. Please call our office if you need assistance.

***UPDATE (06/17/2009): While network access has been restored, there is no confirmation yet whether this issue has been fully resolved.
