Slow access to files on network drives

Following on from the restoration of parts of our storage system in the last few weeks, there has been another outage today, which will be noticeable to you in that access to files is sometimes very slow. The repair of the underlying problem requires all storage areas to be completely disconnected from the network for some time, which we do not want to impose on you in the remaining working hours today. The repair will therefore take place this evening after 7 p.m.; until then, however, access to files may be slowed down from time to time. We apologize for these inconveniences.

Registration opens 08/31/2024 9 am: "Introduction to the administration of computers in the IVV"

In the winter term the lecture series "Administration of Computers in the IVV Natural Sciences" will take place again.

You will find the selection of event topics in Learnweb2.

You can register online until October 6, 2024, for some or all of the topics.

Please note that you first have to enroll in the course in the Learnweb and then register for the individual topics via the so-called feedback.

The enrollment in the course alone, without answering the feedback for topic selection, is not sufficient. Enrolled-only students are NOT counted as participants (see below)!

The topics will be selected based on demand beginning October 7, at which time the exact dates for the individual topics will be fixed. If a minimum number of 5 participants is not reached for a topic, this topic will be skipped for this semester's course. In that case, registered participants will be informed of the cancellation by e-mail.
Please register only for the topics you are actually interested in.

The event will take place during the semester (starting 10/10/2024) at ComputerLab 745 in the Institute for Solid State Theory, Building IG 1, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10 on Thursdays from 10:15am to 12pm.

The topic "IT-Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz: Einführung" will be conducted by Uni-Fortbildung in a web seminar on November 12 and 13, 2024. Alternatively, there is an eLearning course with the same content. The registration for the web seminar and further information about the eLearning course and the certificate of participation for it can be found on the Uni Fortbildung website.
