Scheduled

Pitt Digital will conduct scheduled network maintenance on January 9 that will briefly affect physical Microsoft Teams phones located in University offices and workspaces:

Friday, Jan. 9, from 9 p.m. until Saturday, Jan. 10, at 1 a.m.:
• Physical Teams phones will experience a brief service interruption for less than one minute. Phone service through the Teams desktop and mobile apps — as well as Avaya phone service — will not be affected. Emergency phone services will remain active and available throughout the maintenance period.

Pitt Digital will be monitoring the process, and in the event of any significant changes or delays, updates will be posted to status.pitt.edu. This maintenance is part of our efforts to modernize the campus network and ensure continued security, stability, and reliability. This maintenance period was scheduled before the start of spring term to minimize impact on the University community.

Please submit a ticket to the Technology Help Desk at https://digital.pitt.edu or call +1-412-624-HELP (4357) if you experience any issues or have questions related to this maintenance period. This effort is being led by Dan Mahaven, Pitt Digital Operations.
