WHEN: Wednesday, January 17, from 5am to approx 7am.

DETAILS: Many CS Grad/Research Net servers will be shut down to apply security updates. We will apply these updates on Wednesday, January 17, from 5am to approximately 7am.

During the process of applying updates, several of our CS services will be unavailable. If there are any unexpected complications during the update process that will delay the restoration of services, we will update the CS IT Support Wiki's Notices page at https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Notices

Suspended (Unavailable) Grad/Research Net services while the servers are updated:

  • CS Mail service, both incoming and outgoing, will be suspended for CS Grad/Research Net users.
  • Incoming mail should be queued by the sender until our mail service is back up again. Outgoing mail will not be available.
