Exchange front-end server OWA disk failure
We are rebuilding OWA after a disk failure. Exchange service through OWA (e.g. web access, or mobile client access) will be unavailable in the meantime.
Access via Outlook directly to FONTUS from machines on the EECS network may remain available, unless configured to access OWA using RPC-over-HTTP.

Email and URL forwarding for closed accounts
IRIS previously offered courtesy email forwarding and URL redirect service for
up to one year after the closure of an IRIS account. We are removing
the “one year” limitation now, so that you can expect forwarding to continue
into the forseeable future after your account is closed, unless you request
otherwise.
Many members of our community publish papers and collaborate with others, with
their @eecs.berkeley.edu or @cs.berkeley.edu email address
serving as their primary contact. This
step will ensure that working relationships can continue well after leaving
the Berkeley campus.
Please see our
FAQ for IRIS Account Closing page for more information.
Exchange Server FONTUS offline
EECS Exchange server FONTUS is currently offline. Staff are investigating. This may be due in part to an unintended reboot following application of Microsoft patches.

Third Unplanned Power Outage to 165 Cory
Report from Scott McNally:
“Power was just lost again at 3:40pm Wednesday, 4/10/13. We will have to triage the number of machines we allow on in this room once we restore power. Then we still have a power shutdown on Friday to replace the faulty breaker.”
Mailed earlier today to the Cory Sysadmins maillist:
“Campus is planning a shutdown of Electrical Services to Computer Machine Room 165 and the East Side 1st floor of Cory Hall on Friday, 4/12/2013, between the hours of 9am-Noon to replace the faulty breaker. We are currently operating critical equipment only in room 165. In fact we insist no additional equipment be turned back on at this time until after the repairs on Friday can be made. If you are able to shut down equipment that may not be needed between now and Friday, we ask that you do so.”
