There is an ED deployment scheduled for June 27th; starting at 7am. This is a large deployment although it will not change the user interface or experience. Items such as JBOS will be changing, for example. SETI Testing has yet to commence. (See details below.) Possible impacts are that changes won't replicate. All existing credentials will remain static and active, but queued changes may be delayed for some time.
We are testing TAS 3.0 and CAS 3.4.2, and developers would like these deployed soon, but we haven't set dates yet.
Enterprise System's Jira will be upgraded to support CAS logins on June 15th at 7 am.

Brian Jones- Network Engineering

Nothing major; Check VTDNET as individual departments and buildings may be affected as upgrades continue throughout the summer.Cable TV fiber upgrade also ongoing, but this is being done in parallel and should not affect cable TV service. VTDNET list will be alerted as changes are cutover.
