Weekend Monthly Maintenance Schedule for January to December 2022
University Technology Services (UTS) has updated its monthly weekend maintenance schedule for 2022. The scheduled monthly windows are for significant repairs, installations, upgrades, testing, patches, and other processes and procedures, and may cause limited or interrupted access to McMaster’s IT system resources.
Maintenance is scheduled over a weekend once per month*. During these scheduled maintenance windows, users may experience anything from slow response, limited access, or no connectivity; or may experience no interruption whatsoever. Communications will be shared in advance of anticipated service interruptions.
For the latest maintenance and system information, it is recommended you visit the McMaster IT Systems Dashboard. You can also subscribe to McMaster Byte Size, a new monthly email newsletter containing tech reminders, news, training and more for the McMaster community.
Scheduled Mosaic maintenance will start no earlier than end of business on Friday (5:00 p.m.) and will be completed no later than Monday morning (8:00 a.m.). Mosaic updates could impact services provided via the Mosaic platform. Information on potential outages will be posted directly to Mosaic Alerts.
Scheduled Systems and Network maintenance will be performed on Sunday between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Network maintenance could impact services such as software applications, servers, voice, video and data communications, local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), wireless networking (WLAN), Internet, and ORION.
UTS will notify the campus community of anticipated impacts and timing in advance of scheduled maintenance windows. Please note that these windows are subject to change in order to accommodate University activities. Critical business and learning periods will be avoided, where possible.
