On some workstations, WebXtender crashes when the user attempts to open a PDF.  We are testing a global setting at the server level to resolve this issue.  Until this is put in place, the workaround is to go to the Edit menu item in WebXtender, select User Settings and then Document View.  From the Document View screen, select Adobe Reader for PDF type documents.

The UNM NetApp Storage will undergo a full maintenance outage on Saturday, July 29th, 2017 from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The NetApp storage environment is fully redundant and all vender upgrades are designed to be non-disruptive. However, during the upgrade all CIFS sessions will have to be terminated which will cause minor disruptions to all CIFS shares hosted on the production storage environment.

Due to the disruption to CIFS, a full outage maintenance window is required to reduce the risk of possible data corruption in end user data hosted on production CIFS shares. Only end-user CIFS storage mounts will be impacted. Production services such as Banner, WebFocus, LoboWeb, etc. are not expected to be impacted.
