Dan suggested that the committee try to make the deadline for the February 28th board meeting. The committee will meet in January to review the progress and provide a draft for the February board meeting. Other Business Konrad Brandemuhl, CIS, was present to give a report on Z-Mail. Chris Garrison has received complaints from students about the system crashing and being slow. Konrad replied that everything is working as designed.
Locked mailboxes occur if one disconnects during a transaction.
The system locks at this point and it most often happens with large mailboxes. CIS must delete the mail box or unlock it and delete all of the messages. Chris Garrison asked if OSU is happy with the system. Konrad said that there are some things that can be done to speed it up, but with over 20,000 users with defined ID's, they cannot do much. There is a file for every user in the directory and this slows down the directory structure.
