Scheduled

NUIT will conduct a test fail-over of NU Validate to the new disaster recovery infrastructure in the Chicago data center. There will be a full outage of about 30 minutes at the beginning and end of the window. Updates made during the middle of the window may experience delays in propagating to downstream systems, especially school- and department-based Active Directory domains.
