Announcements

DNS Failure (Apr 6, 2013)
Due to a server configuration error, ECE DNS servers were declining to resolve queries for hostnames other than *.ece.ubc.ca. The situation started around midnight, and was corrected at 14:10.
Master LDAP Server Failure (Apr 1-2, 2013)
ECE's master LDAP server went down on April 1 at 16:04 for uncertain reasons. It was restarted, and service was restored on April 2 at 09:50. During this outage, UBC_ECE domain logons would have been rejected.
Scheduled Outage in Kaiser (Mar 25, 2013)
In order to perform an electrical upgrade, power will need to be temporarily switched off to ECE's Kaiser server room. Network connectivity to the building and some computer services will be disrupted on Monday March 25 from 5:45 am. Service will be restored by 8:00 am (probably much earlier, if the operation goes according to plan).
Kaiser Server Room Network Failure (Mar 21-22, 2013)
A network switch in the Kaiser server room is repeatedly failing. We have replaced it.
SPAM/Phishing emails (Feb 12, 2013)
Please note, ECE IT will never direct you to send your information via email or websites; we will never direct you to websites outside UBC. We always sign our names in our emails. Please do not respond or follow the links on "Phishing" emails.
End-of-Life for Matlab old license servers: fs6 and service (Jan 2013)
Please note that the license servers on fs6 (for research) and on service (for classroom use) are going to retire soon. Please point your software to the following aliases: matlabr-lm (for research) and matlabt-lm (for teaching).
