The technical problem with delayed our switch to the new Active Directory passwords has been resolved... sorta. After many hours (thanks, Doug!) our technical support engineer friends were able to fix the problem with the service. Unfortunately, it required steps which mean we have to re-do much of the migration work we had already done prior to the glitch.
We have not determined a new cutover date or time, though it will likely be early next week, July 19 or 20. We will try to give you some advance notice, but I know many of you are really anxious to use your new passwords, so we may just make the configuration changes.
Your best course of action for now is to continue using your Novell passwords to access email until they no longer work, then try using your new Microsoft Active Directory password.
If you are trying to log on to a computer at school, take a look at the login screen. If it says "Novell" on it, use your old Novell password. If it doesn't say "Novell," use your new Microsoft Active Directory password.

Do you have your new password ready?
Do you have your fifteen character password ready?
This is a reminder that starting July 15, all staff must have a long password. New passwords must be at least fifteen characters long and contain at least one number and symbol.
The good news? Your password will not expire, so you won't ever have to change it unless it gets cracked.
If you are wondering why, or need help creating a password that long that you can also remember, please read "How to choose a good password" on our documentation site.
On July 15, we will switch our servers from Novell to Microsoft. This means your current Novell password will no longer work, and you will have to start using a new one. Because we cannot see or export your current passwords, we will assign you a new one that you must start using on July 15.
Before the end of school, you will receive a piece of paper which will contain your new password. On July 15, you will need to start using this new password. You may want to change it to something you can remember more easily, but you must use the password issued to you at least once to log in and change your password.

Login issues 2009-01-02
Email issues were finally resolved on Sunday evening, but we are still dealing with problems logging in. Several servers (Netmail, Panther, and PVE) were not processing logins. So, if your computer randomly chose one of these to log into, you either weren't able to log in, or it took 15 minutes until the computer switched to another login server.
The servers have been fixed, except for Panther, on which we are still working.
