Windows Terminal Service licenses unavailable during maintenance Friday, February 19

February 18, 2021 by Lars Rohrbach

Our Terminal Services license manager host, RDSMANAGER, needs to be temporarily taken down so that we can make a repair to the virtual disk image file used by this virtual machine. We will be shutting down RDSMANAGER at about noon on Friday, February 19, 2021.

During this maintenance, any Windows Terminal Servers (such as winterm.eecs) will alert users that no valid Terminal Service license servers could be contacted — but other than the alert, no interruption of service should be noticed.

RDSMANAGER should be down for 4-6 hours. License service should resume as normal by about 6pm Friday.

IT Support During Winter 2020 Energy Curtailment

December 15, 2020 by Lars Rohrbach

Due to the Winter Holiday, Energy Curtailment, and New Year’s Holidays, the Berkeley campus is officially closed for the period Wednesday, December 23 to Monday, January 4, reopening on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.

All departmental computing servers will remain on and should be available during the break, but there will be no staff on site to provide any computing support or handle any requests. Automatic monitoring systems will alert staff to critical infrastructure problems, and any such problems will be dealt with on a best-effort basis.

The IRIS Helpdesk will close early at noon on Tuesday, December 22, and will reopen on Tuesday, January 5. Problem reports can be left on the Helpdesk voice mail (510-642-7777) or emailed to help@eecs, but staff may not receive or reply to these messages until January 5.

Requests for new IRIS accounts that are received after 5pm December 21 may not be processed until January 5, 2021.

During the break, Instructional labs will be locked, but the main servers will remain online (for details, see the Instructional website). Instructional support staff will occasionally monitor inst@eecs email over the break. Please be aware, though, that staff may not be able to respond or reply to messages until January 5.

Computing support staff will be monitoring their email when possible, so please use standard email addresses to report any urgent problems. As a reminder:

Instructional Computing Environment: inst@eecs

Research / Staff Computing Environment: help@eecs
