Mind the Support Hours

Periods outside these times are used for appointments, support tasks requiring longer examination, and for infrastructure maintenance.

 

Server Maintenance Hours

Server Maintenance Hours are each Thursday, from 07:00-08:00.

During these times, server operation is unreliable. You should expect unavailable servers and sudden downtimes of services without prior explicit announcement.

See here for details.

Working Days

Support is available only on regular working days. There is no IT support on weekends or on public holidays.

(plus) You can find a lot more information about efficiently employing IT support in Contacting IT-Support for Staff. Also, the priority system used is described, the tasks of IRC-IT, and alternative contacts are given.

Please see the interesting hints on asking questions at Geek to Live: The art of asking or Web Worker Daily: How to Prevent Tech Support Nightmares. Also, employing How To Ask Questions The Smart Way might help to get faster and more helpful answers.

The Service Desk implements one of the core ITIL Service Support processes.
