Some servers down for maintenance Saturday morning 6/1

On Saturday, June 1, there will be a brief maintenance outage on several servers in order to do some routine maintenance and one upgrade. 

The affected servers will be the Teachers web server (the W: drive), the FitnessGram web server, the print server, principalm bridge, Moodle, Zenworks and OSD-APPS1 (the U: drive). 

The total time out of service for each should be no longer than 15 minutes at various times in the morning, with the exception of Zenworks which I will be upgrading in preparation for Summer computer imaging. I expect that server to be down for at least 2 hours. 

Only the listed services will be effected. E-mail, Google Drive, and Infinite Campus will remain fully functional.

Especially for Graduates- How to Migrate All Your Google Apps data

As this year's Senior class prepares to graduate and move on to bigger and better things, we want to make sure that they can take all their hard work with them to college or work. Most student data is stored in Google Apps for Education in the students.oregonsd.net domain.

Students can export their data directly from Google Apps (directions here), but there are also tools to automatically move all the contents of a Google Apps account to another Google account. For example, a student could move their documents, gmail, calendar items, and websites from student.sample@students.oregonsd.net  to a new personal account such as mynewaccount@gmail.com, or to their new university email address.


Another is Google Takeout from the Data Liberation Front.

We (the OSD IT department) don't own these tools, so we really can't support them, but wanted to let you know they exist. Best wishes to the Seniors!
