Description: 

Most production services universitywide will be unavailable for a 6-hour window on Sunday, Jan. 21, to install a critical patch update to CU's systems. Critical patches ensure the university’s systems are secure.

Timing:  6 a.m. to noon Sunday,  Jan. 21

Impact: Most production services will be unavailable throughout the maintenance window.

Since the Jan. 21 production window includes a critical patch update, the following Sunday, Jan. 28, is scheduled as a contingency production window from 6 a.m. to noon.

ETA: The Jan. 21 critical patch update was successful so the Jan. 28 contingency production window is canceled.  [added Jan. 22, 2024]
