Re: Maintenance Window(s) Procedures

Our normal maintenance window is Sunday from 7am-11am. This day and time were chosen because this was the time when the servers were used the least. We don't use the window for the servers involved in grading the four times a year when grades are entered to give the faculty as much time as possible to enter grades at the request of the registrar.

To the Educause Community: We are currently in the process of rethinking our maintenance window and procedures for servers, applications and devices. We were wondering how other institutions have gone about doing this. If you could help with some information on how your institution decided the time(s)/day(s) of your maintenance window and would like to share we would really appreciate it. Also, any information on the level of communication with the departments that were the business owners of applications and how their input swayed your decisions any would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance. *Joey Rego* /Senior Network Administrator/ *Lynn University** Information Technology* *3601 North Military Trail Boca Raton, Fla. 33431-5598 Phone: 561-237-7982 Fax: 561-237-7115 E-mail: jrego () lynn edu <mailto:jrego () lynn edu> Web: http://www.lynn.edu <http://www.lynn.edu/> *
