Yesterday, March 1, an update was sent to the campus which contained a component of Adobe Flash which allows you to view certain video streams and other related content on the web.  There were some inconsistencies in the component and as a result Adobe Flash started exhibiting erratic behavior on affected computers.

There have been no issues with loss of data or any malicious or other virus like activity.  It is merely a functional issue.

Steps are being taken at this time to correct the problem and when the new update is available, it will be released to the campus in the form of a Windows update.  You will need to reboot your computer to install the newest release when it becomes available.

Updates will be posted as information becomes available.

The e-mail server will be down for maintenance on Wednesday morning, February 8, 2012.  The purpose of the maintenance is to install patches to correct the performance issues encountered last week.

02/08/2012 UPDATE:  The server maintenance is complete.  All Zimbra (e-mail) services seem to be operating properly. 

If you are experiencing difficulty with your UL Lafayette e-mail, please contact the IT Help Desk for assistance.

Thursday, February 2, 2012, the Zimbra mail server started experiencing problems which caused slow and sporadic issues with sending/receiving e-mail.

We have a ticket open with the zimbra team on this, and we are awaiting
further direction from them on this issue. In the meantime you can expect
slow response times, no response, bad gateway errors and errors from
the web client.

As we receive information we will update this post.

Thank you for your patience!
