There will be some patching delays tomorrow morning, November 20, 2009 due to unplanned maintenance.  Please check this article for updates.]]> http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/patching-delays-on-november-20.html http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/patching-delays-on-november-20.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:44:39 -0500
Once an affected system correctly returns its inventory scan to the ADM101 core server, the Revision Number and Installation date will be replaced and the system will no longer appear as "broken".

Additional testing has indicated that systems will need to perform a full inventory scan to correctly report the missing data. By default, this can take up to a week to occur, but in most cases should be within 48-72 hours. (The typical "daily" scan will sometimes only report bare-bones data unless a system undergoes significant changes.)

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. ]]> http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/error-in-database-cleanup.html http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/error-in-database-cleanup.html Website Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:57:05 -0500 COMPLETE - Friday, November 20 between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM - All the LANDesk servers and the LANDesk database will be rebooted.  Service should be restored by 8:00 AM.]]> http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/november-landesk-maintenance---friday-nov-20.html http://blog.vcu.edu/landesk/2009/11/november-landesk-maintenance---friday-nov-20.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:28:38 -0500

Due to maintenance done by Networking Services on Saturday, November 7 from 7:00 am until 7:30 am, all traffic to the Internet will be interrupted. During the scheduled maintenance, access to the LANDesk@VCU website, On-Demand Remote Control, and the Management Gateway will also be interrupted.

All systems should be back online by 7:30 am.

From Change Management:
User Description: This notice is to inform you that Network Services will be putting the ASA Firewall back in place at the Internet Border. The ASA has been upgraded and configured per Cisco's recommendation. We will be testing to see if the changes allow the ASA to properly handle the traffic from eVA. We will be testing and looking at the packets. If the ASA continues to mishandle eVA traffic then the PIX Firewall will have to be reinstalled. All traffic to the Internet will be interrupted during this time period.

Date: 11/07/2009 7 AM - 7:30 AM
Submitted by: Networking Services
This change will affect the following systems:
Networking
Telecommunications
