We schedule short outage periods each week and each term to accomodate patches and upgrades to the servers. This includes Microsoft server updates, hardware maintenance and other routine service required in the machine room. Although most of these service periods do NOT result in outages, there are times when the upgrades to be applied will require some down time. We can not anticipate these ahead of time, so we ask that you plan crucial work around these possible outages.
Tuesday: midnight to 5 am
The Thursday after exam week; 3 am to 3 pm.
Special Upgrades may be scheduled during the longer breaks at Winter Break and Summer Break. These will be announced at least two weeks in advance to instructors and on this page and will be also be posted one day in advance on MyWestern.
