On Tuesday March 11, the IT-department has to perfor necessary maintenance work on “fellesområdene” under the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry.  Normally, this can be found under P: in Windows, but there could be different project-areas also contained under this with different letters.

Between 7 pm and 10 pm on Tuesday March 3, the system will be cut off for approximately one hour when the maintenance work is being performed.  Thus, it is recommended to log off the system before going home, and not do any work during this time period.  If the “fellesområder” do not work after 10 pm on March 11, a restart of the computer should fix this.

If there are any problems, please contact Brita at 555847000 (during work hours) or report an issue at https://bs.uib.no/ .  We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
