CTS Announcements & Systems Status

Fixing the outgoing email issue is taking longer than expected. An announcement will be posted when it is complete. Thank you for your patience.

The SSL certificate for the outbound email server has expired. A new cert is being acquired and installed. Full outbound email service should be restored within the hour. If you need to send email before then, please use an alternate email account but set the “Reply-To” field to [yourid]@potsdam.edu. Inbound email is unaffected.

In order to comply with SUNY and NY policies, and adhere to standard security practices, FTP access to helios has been retired. Improved remote access to helios (and other campus resources) is available through the college VPN service; please see https://www.potsdam.edu/cts/services/vpn/.

Moodle service has been restored.

The moodle server has encountered difficulties. CTS staff has temporarily taken it off-line for remediation.

ITEC will be performing OS and firmware updates to the PROD servers for Banner and DegreeWorks on Wednesday 2/24 from 12:00am-7:00am. This means Banner/BearPAWS/BearDeN/BDMS will be down during that timeframe.

Apogee reports that service is restored.

Apogee has reported that a possible fiber optic cable break is responsible for the outage in the Residence Halls. Technicians are investigating.

ITEC will be applying the database PSU to PROD Wednesday (1/27) from 6:00am-7:00am. The database will be unavailable during this maintenance.
