Please see the following scheduled Information Technology Services (ITS) maintenance:

Date: Thursday, March 28, 2024

Start Time: 8 p.m.
End Time: 10 p.m.

The following work is being completed: ITS is renewing and replacing SSL certificates on Production Exchange servers. This configuration prevents a situation where some internal communications could otherwise fallback to non-secure communications protocol for sending messages. This will configure both production servers to have the same set of enabled TLS protocols which will also be set to match the settings used in the development environment.

All affected groups: All WSU users.

All processes affected: Exchange onsite internal server communications.

Duration of impact: 30 minutes.

Follow up steps customers need to take: None.
