The CNI group is planning a systems maintenance period for Tuesday, Feb. 17, 5-10 p.m. During this maintenance period, Windows and Linux patches will be released to all systems and desktops. This may cause web and system outages as these servers reboot to finalize the patch installation. Plan on rebooting your desktop Windows or Linux system by Friday, Feb. 20, to finalize the patch installation, as well. Also, Firefox, Thunderbird, PuTTY, JAVA, and shockwave updates will be released. Finally, there will be short outages around 8 p.m. to all Management and Information Systems applications as servers are rebooted to finalize patch installation. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at x7155 or helpdesk at jlab.org.
