RedRover-Secure retiring on July 15

On July 15, CIT will discontinue the RedRover-Secure wireless service. For more information, see http://itnews.cornell.edu/help-itcornell-get-message-out-redrover-secure-retiring-july-15.

For secure wireless service, please use eduroam instead: http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/wifi/. Eduroam is a global service that can also be used at other participating institutions.

Regular RedRover (not secure) will remain in place.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
