[Astro] [CAPT] Fwd: FW: IMPORTANT: Upcoming complete data outage – Physics Building, 8th to 10th September 2025

Mon Sep 8 18:48:59 BST 2025

Hi all,

This is now in progress.  Logins to captain, odhar and brahan were 
failing today but should now be working - let me know if it's still not 
working for you.

All servers in B115/B12 in the Physics building are offline until the 
network upgrade is complete.

Cheers

Phil P
