GroupWise desktop services and GroupWise Web Access will be unavailable from 5 p.m. Friday, July 30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 31, while the system is upgraded to GroupWise 6.5. All e-mail that is sent to faculty and staff GroupWise accounts will be stored and delivered after the outage. GroupWise clients in University College and the College of Law will not be affected by the outage and will be able to continue to use their GroupWise mail system.
Faculty and staff who use GroupWise (except those in University College and the College of Law) should shutdown their computer before going home on Friday, July 30. When logging into GroupWise on Monday, Aug. 2, you will be prompted to upgrade your desktop GroupWise client. Clicking "no" will delay the upgrade. The upgrade will be automatic after a pre-set number of delays noted on the pop up box.
Because of a change in the way the "sent" folder works in GroupWise 6.5, clients who choose not to upgrade on the first prompt will not be able to access their old "sent" mail folder or their "task" list until they upgrade their desktop client.
GroupWise 6.5 demonstration classes are available through August 5. Registration information is on the Web at http://cms.syr.edu/training/workshops/staff.html . In addition, a "GroupWise 6.5 Preview" Power Point presentation is available on the Web at http://cms.syr.edu/email/groupwise
Computing and Media Services (CMS) is upgrading the GroupWise e-mail package to GroupWise 6.5. To accomplish the task, GroupWise desktop services and GroupWise Web access will be unavailable from 5 p.m. Friday, July 30 to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 31. All e-mail that is sent to faculty and staff GroupWise accounts will be stored and delivered after the outage. Specific directions about how to upgrade the GroupWise interface on individual desktop computers will be forthcoming.
While GroupWise 6.5 may look and feel a bit different, it functions very much the same as the GroupWise client currently in use. Faculty and staff should have no difficulty using the upgraded version as soon as it is installed on their desktops. However, GroupWise 6.5 has some new, exciting features that enhance the organization of e-mail messages. Demonstrations of the enhanced features will be presented beginning the week of July 19. A schedule of classes and registration information will be available on the CMS Training Web site the week of July 12.
Further news and information about the upgrade will be sent via e-mail throughout the month of July and will be available on the CMS Web site at http://cms.syr.edu.

LISD is requesting from now on that all printers in every library be left on at all times. This includes staff, public, and lab printers. One of our current projects requires us to update software on all of the printers and make configuration changes at times when they are not in use. We appreciate your good intentions to save power and would like to make you aware that all of our printers have power saving features built in. It is better for the equipment, and uses less energy if they are always left on. The updates begin tonight, so please remember to leave your printer on.
Thank you everyone for your cooperation.

This morning the library experienced a network slowdown due to high utilization on one of our servers. The server being close to capacity and experiencing increased demands caused the high utilization. The process used to correct this issue was also subject to the slowdown and took over an hour to run. Server operation is back to normal and LISD is working to reduce the server load. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.

Friday morning, between 6:00 -7:00 AM, CMS will add two new subnets to our current Bird library computer network. This will give us about 500 more network addresses. For the past a few years, we have increased our computer devices significantly and we are almost running out our capacity. This change will take care of this issue for a long time. We don't expect any difference for staff and public workstations because the rebooting will adjust the network settings. The settings on computer servers will need to be adjusted by the system administrators. Most system level work will take place late night on Thursday or early Friday. This change only affects the Bird library network. Sci-tech branches are on different networks. If you experience anything unusual, please report to x4300. Thanks!
The servers were updated successfully this morning. You may receive a message that NAL (the application launcher) has been updated and you computer needs to reboot. Please click "OK" and reboot your computer. If you receive additional messages about specific application objects please call us.
LISD will be working with CMS to apply updates and patches to our network servers on Friday, November 21, 2003. The outage window is from 5:30 AM to 7:00 AM. Network services will be unavailable during this time period.
Thank you for your cooperation. Any questions or problems please call.
