Between 1:05pm – 1:10pm today we experienced an outage on wired and wireless networks due to a problem encountered during a troubleshooting attempt for an intermittent network issue. This outage has effected all services provided over the network (Gmail, DialPad, NoteBowl, Novell, etc.) The problematic configuration change has been reversed, and all operations should be back to normal.  Please report any network issues to the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.

by ·Comments Off on Resolved: Denison University Main Line phone number Unreachable

Update: 11:24 am EST

The issue is now resolved. The number was unavilable due to the activation of the number taking a longer time than expected on the new provider’s system during the porting process. The Denison University Main Line phone number 740-587-0810 is now reachable and functioning as intended. Please contact the ITS Helpdesk if there are any questions.

Thank you.

by ·Comments Off on Internet-Native Banner Users – Do NOT Upgrade to Java 9!

A new major version of Java – Java 9 – is being released. You may soon see prompts to upgrade Java.

If you use Internet-Native Banner, please DO NOT UPGRADE Java. Banner will not work with Java 9.

If you receive an upgrade prompt, choose the “Run” or “Later” option and – if available – check the checkbox that says “Do not prompt me again for this version”.

If you inadvertently update to Java 9, you will need to roll back to Java 8 if you need to use Internet-Native Banner. Please contact the ITS Help Desk to request assistance doing so.

If you have any questions or problems, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 740-587-6395 or helpdesk@denison.edu.
