Scheduled Maintenance – Sept 13th – 19th

Below is the current maintenance schedule between September 13th – 19th.

  • Monday 9/13/10 – 9/14/10 – Final testing on DELLA, the new EUROPE Exchange 2010 server
  • Wednesday 9/15/10 11pm Eastern – Installation of Exchange 2010 SP1 on LOUIE. During the installation, Exchange services may be required to restart, however, clients connecting to cas.louie.exchangedefender.com should automatically switch between CAS servers in the event of a interruption during the install.
  • Thursday 9/16/10 11pm Eastern – Installation of Exchange 2010 SP1 on LIVEARCHIVE.
  • Friday 9/17/10 11pm Eastern – IP address change of Exchange 2003 server DONALD. Clients should not have to make any changes to automatically connect to the new IP address.
  • Sunday 9/19/10 5pm Eastern – Offline database defrag scheduled for SCROOGE. During the defrag, clients will be unable to connect to their mailboxes. The defrag is estimated to take up to 5 hours to complete, and is one of the final steps in the upgrades to Scrooge.

Update 9/15/10 4:00 PM: We have decided to push the offline defrag until October 9th-10th. We understand that September is one of the busiest months for our partners, so we’ve pushed back the maintenance until next month.
