Networking
  1. Mobile devices still not synching with the Exchange server. They are unable to receive email. Will is working on it.
  2. Anti-virus server - has not been working correctly. It is not pushing the latest version. Logan is currently testing it and hope to have it back up this evening.
  3. Xerox - just received reports today that they are unable to print from ARES on the 2nd floor of West, but they can on the third. Also had a report of another problem right before this meeting.
  4. Systems to VISTA - could roll as an upgrade.
  5. SMS - Logan is testing a few file things, and then he'll talk to CNS.
  6. VM Ware - need to get the training scheduled. Talk to Business Services.
  7. NT2R1 - was dead on Friday. Several reboots - it still would not come up. Finally, Will did a consistency check and it corrected a problem, and then indicated it needed a restart. At that point, it came back up.
  8. UFDC development job that fails - it is waiting for a tape change. We should move the starting time back on that one. Set it to start right after the NT2R job.
  9. SAN - Logan has everything racked. He is in the process of reading through how it should work. Issue of switch return discussed.
