Server Move Info

Post by Stu »

As part of the server move I need to update the DNS records

Sometimes these can take a long time to update upto 24 Hours!

So if you find yourself on the old site after around 18:00 then you may need to clear your cache on your browser and flush your DNS records too

Instructions can be found here for flushing DNS https://www.whatsmydns.net/flush-dns.html

Please google how to clear your cache for the browser you are using

Also please not that clearing the browser can also stop the automatic login working so please try and remember your password

Hopefully things go smoothly and no one is left behind

Sounds like a fun day.

Reminds me of every Summer Holiday when I had to set up all of the user accounts for the the new students, work areas, windows accounts, and then archive all of the accounts and folder contents for students who were leaving.

Fairly straight forward but full of opportunities for it to go completely wrong. ....

Like the time I had to ban admins from using laptops to access the server folders. My error. My finger slipped on the touch pad when I had a single folder selected, and I ended up moving all 1500 user accounts to a different folder. 2 hours later when it had finished (and I had managed to work out what had happened), they all had to be moved back again.

Hope it goes well @Stu. If it takes longer than you expect, blame it on the DNS update. We won't know any different !!

Smooth move. I would have been unaware of a change if you had not announced it. No need for DNS flush or any other action on this end.
