The new student email server is working. One of the most significant changes is the consolidation of email, remote access and a new student web service. Email and web accounts have been consolidated on one new server with one username and password providing access to both. During the fall semester, remote access will be added. The end result will be one account which provides access to email, web pages and remote access.
Every student now has both an email account and a default web page.
The student server is still named post.uwstout.edu. However, the machine behind the name has changed from the old Digital hardware running VMS mail to a new Wintel system running Windows NT and Microsoft Exchange. This change took place on August 12. While this machine was down, new incoming mail directed to it waited in cyberspace for post.uwstout.edu to become available again. Then the new machine was brought up, ready to receive mail.
