IT Professional Colleagues:
The text below was published in this week’s Monitor to announce the upcoming IU List upgrades beginning Sunday, February 7. Notifications will be sent directly to affected list owners just prior to each IU List domain migration. It is advised that no configuration changes be made during the maintenance window for the affected domains being upgraded. Emails will continue to be delivered during the maintenance window, but due to the switchover, it is possible that some emails could bounce to any lists being migrated. Therefore, email activity to those lists hosted in the domains being migrated should be minimized until they have been completed. A notification to the list owners will be distributed once list migrations for the affected domains have been completed.
The new environment will be hosted in the pilot.list.campus.edu domains until all domains have been migrated. Redirects for web and email will be in place for the temporary domains. After the final migration, the new environment will be configured to the standard IU List list.campus.edu domains in late March or early April.
A schedule, and additional details regarding the upgrades, has been published in the IU Knowledge Base [1]. IU List related documents in the IU Knowledge Base will include a short boiler text announcing the upgrades, which will include a link to the aforementioned KB document. A banner will also grace the current IU List home pages.
