ITS has planned equipment moves in the server room tonight that will require several servers to be shut down for a brief period while they are moved to a new location in the room.

Update I've encountered additional difficulties in the upgrade and have had to revert back to the existing router. The network is back to functioning again. Another attempt at doing the upgrade will be scheduled for a future time to be announced.

ITS is planning maintenance on the network in Olin on Friday, April 19, between 9 AM and approximately 1 PM.

The FortiClient VPN service will be shut down on Monday, April 8th. After that, our VPN access will be via VIA VPN.

ITS is planning maintenance on the network in Olin on Tuesday, March 26, between 5 PM and approximately 8 PM.  During this time both the wired and wireless networks in the building will be unavailable. This maintenance will allow for the installation of a new building router and a faster link between the Olin network and the rest of the campus network. When work is complete, an update will be posted at https://www.luther.edu/its/blog/. 

Citrix is currently available now. If still having problems, contact the Technology Help Desk at 563-387-1000 or [email protected]

The wireless in the Facilities Services building has been upgrade from 802.11n to 802.11ac service.  This will provide additional speed for connections in that building.

Luther has purchased a 3-year subscription of the campus-wide Lynda.com product called LyndaCampus.

10:30am - Academic H drives are temporarily unavailable. Access should be restored later today.

An additional wireless access point has been added in the Regents Center to improve the strength of the wireless network near the racquetball courts and in the golf room.

The Loyalty Hall network has been upgraded.  A new building router has been installed.  The new router has a 20Gig connection to the rest of the network, the old router had a 1Gig connection to the rest of the network.  In addition the wireless in Loyalty has been upgraded with new 802.11ac access points.
