UPDATE: I recently spoke with IT staff involved with the data center move. It is likely that the copiers in the secretarial pool will continue to function as printers for faculty in the new science center. So it appears that many faculty will be unaffected. But please be prepared with an alternative option just in case.
Dear All,
We just received word from Jim Franceschelli that network printing services will be unavailable this Wednesday, 11/16. Due to the continuing construction in St. Thomas, the data center than handles network printing traffic will be interrupted. Printers directly connected to your computer will be unaffected. No other network services will be affected.
Please keep this in mind and plan accordingly!
Help IT relocate services and be GREEN for a day! Shared Printing Outage scheduled for 11/16/11.
Due to the St. Thomas Hall construction project, the STT data site has been scheduled for relocation on Wednesday, November 16, 2011. The impact of this move will result in network printer outages in some offices and lab facilities. The relocation should be complete by 5:00 pm; however, in the event of complications the outage may extend into Thursday, November 17th. The relocation of this facility is a requirement of the STT renovation project and IT is making every effort to minimize the impact.
Areas affected by this printer outage include Admissions, Aquinas, Career Services, CAS Dean’s Office, CGCE, Communications (LOY 226 lab), Computer Science (CSLIT Labs), CTLE, Financial Aid, KSOM Advising, Math Lab, MGH Advising Center, Physics Labs , Provost, Purchasing, Registrar, ResLife, Student Affairs, and the Treasurer’s Office including Bursar’s, Payroll and Accounts Receivable. Computer lab printing and office printing to shared network printers will be unavailable for the duration of the move. Printing to local printers and Lanier copies will not be affected. All other data and networking services will not be affected.
We apologize for any inconvenience and ask that you plan your printing needs around this short downtime. This is also a great opportunity for all those affected to demonstrate our abilities to be green and reduce our dependency on printing. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Technology Support Center 941-4357.
