Due to the breakdown with Print and Winsww, Macserver is behind schedule. I sincerely apologize for the delay! The server will be online tomorrow after 12:00 noon. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

IMAP Service is temporarily unavailable. IRIS staff are currently working on the problem.

Due to the continued networking and hardware problems on PRINT, a new windows print server, PRINT2, is in the process of being built. I expect the server to be on line tomorrow.

To smooth this transition, PRINT2 will immediately begin service for queues that have been experiencing sever outages on PRINT. More announcements will be posted as the transition from PRINT to PRINT2 continues. Thank you for your patience.

While the Windows Print Server PRINT is back up and functioning, many of you are still experiencing problems printing. We are working to resolve these issues as fast as we can. Please report any problem to idsg@eecs.

Thank you.

The work on the PRINT Server has successfully been completed. The PRINT server is back on line.

Thank you for your patience.

IDSG is continuing to troubleshoot the problems with PRINT. While the server has been up for a few hours now, we suspect a hardware problem is growing. IDSG will be taking PRINT down today from 12 – 1 for a hardware upgrade.

Thank you for your patience.

sww experienced a hardware problem which has been temporarily fixed.

sww will need to be down on Thursday at 5PM for approx. 2 hours for a permanent fix.

This afternoon, WINSWW (winsww.eecs.berkeley.edu), the windows software warehouse, sustained multiple disk failures causing it to become unavailable. IDSG is working to restore the failed volume, but we regret that it will be down for at least the next 24 hours (until 09/15/2005, 5:00pm) while it is being worked on.

Consequently, the Windows “Add/Remove Programs” feature, which allows you to install software over the network from WINSWW, will be unavailable until WINSWW is restored to service.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
