Northwestern Information Technology  will be upgrading the network infrastructure for the network equipment listed in the title. Affected systems will experience a brief interruption as units are failed over during the migration process between 7PM and 8PM as work is completed.  This work is being performed to migrate our load balancers onto new infrastucture that will continue to be supported and help mitigate risk against security vulnerabilities. This maintenance will affect those services that only utilize the Chicago Data Center Enterprise load balancer service. 
Those services include:
- AD Federation
