[Service Alert] Issue with access to Exam Timetables Website and other University web pages

Filed under: SharePoint, Timetables, University website, [Resolved], [Service Alert] — Sharon Steeples @ 4:15 pm

We’re aware of an issue affecting access to the Exam Timetables Website (https://www1.essex.ac.uk/examtimes) and some other University web pages and web pages on SharePoint (EAF/ESF/ECF).

The cause has been identified as extremely high load on the Exam Timetables Website itself, and this is having a detrimental effect on other database-driven web pages too.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing you.

Students are advised to wait, and retry accessing the Exam Timetables Website later.

We will continue to monitor the situation.

The University of Essex will moderate comments and there will be a delay before any posts appear.

Resolved 13th October 2020 11.30am

We have now fixed the issue with access to the timetable page. We will be monitoring this today in case of any further issues.

Update 13th October 2020 9.50am

It seems that the issue is on the timetables web page. As well as using Outlook, you can also use the Webmail service to access your timetable.

We are continuing to investigate and will update you with further information as soon as we can.

Investigating 13th October 2020 9.35am

We’re currently investigating reports of a potential issue with email and timetables via Webmail. This means you may not be able to get to your email and timetables through a web browser using the email.essex.ac.uk web address.

Instead, please download Outlook as part of Office365 on your personal computer, or the Outlook app on your phone to access your email and timetables.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing you. We’ll post another update as soon as we find out more.

The University of Essex will moderate comments and there will be a delay before any posts appear.
