Facilities and Administration SAS IT Share move

Leave a comment

FYI, we’re moving the F&A SAS IT share from ISCS-Data to a new NetApp share tonight.  The move should be fairly transparent to the customers as Ben has an update GPO that will properly map their drives.  Please note the new share location is <\\fa.sig.oregonstate.edu\fa>

While this move only affects a few people we’ll eventually be moving all of F&A’s data to the new share.

Please read this e-mail in its entirety.

This evening the Community Network will move your shared data from the ISCS-Data server to a new dedicated F&A share (\\fa.sig.oregonstate.edu\fa)

Who:                This will affect everyone in SAS IT

What:               The Community Network will transfer your network data to new storage

When:              Thursday, February 4th, after 5:00 PM

What you need to do:  Please save your work, close your files, and log out of your computer before 5:00 PM this evening.

When you log in tomorrow your computer will reconnect to the new FA share.  Shortcuts, links, or recently used documents in your applications will be broken when you attempt to use them after the move.  Please use the File -> Open menu to locate your files in their new location.  Once you’ve opened the file, the new entry in recently used documents will be functional again.

Casper Outage – January 27th, 2016 5-6pm

Leave a comment

From: Dudzik, James
All,

I will be running the upgrade from Casper 9.81 to 9.82 tonight at 5:00 PM. This will cause an outage when the Tomcat service is stopped, the database is backed up, and then the server is rebooted at the end of the upgrade process. I expect this will be about a twenty minute outage, and I will send a note out at the end of the process when everything is back up and running.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks!

ISCS-MDT upgraded to 2013 Update 2

Leave a comment

I have successfully upgraded ISCS-MDT to 2013 Update 2 (6.3.8330). Please be aware that this is what’s considered a quality release; there are no new major features.

Work completed:
– VMWare snapshot created for ISCS-MDT.
– MDT 2013 Update 2 applied.
– MDT build and production shares upgraded.
– MDT build and production boot images updated.
– Updated boot images applied to Windows Deployment Services.

Release notes and Information:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/msdeployment/archive/2015/12/22/mdt-2013-update-2-now-available.aspx

Things you may need to complete:
– For folks who log in to ISCS-MDT directly you may need to recreate/re-pin shortcuts to the MDT Workbench.

Additional notes:

The Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10 was recently updated by Microsoft. This version is cited to have issues which could impact some MDT deployment scenarios. I will be doing more testing before moving forward with this update.
