kendo339 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 appears the last entry in the maintenance notices under announcements is 8/2. not seeing anything related to today's down time which is earlier than usual. did they move those notices and I am just blind searching for their new home?

Korbian Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Thursday mornings are regularly scheduled maintenance so I don't know if they post those, since they are a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendo339 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 and looks like this just popped up in the maintenance section 1 minute ago @here All shards will be restarted at 1230 UTC (1 hour from now, 0830 Eastern US time) for OS updates. Estimated downtime is 2 hours. so apparently not the usual 15 minute restart of tuesday, thursday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendo339 Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 guess the good news is that they still post to that thread, but so much for my morning COH fix 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxus Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm sure this one, and all of the ones following Microsoft's "Patch Tuesday" are to apply security patches, which on the newer versions of the Server OS, definitely takes some time. I do it for a living for the company I work for, and I have seen servers (even VMs) take 2 hours to patch, and reboot with just the monthly security roll-up patch, and the almost monthly servicing stack updates. When you stack even more on them (which they occasionally do), it can really bog things down for much longer than the previous OS versions took. So, all is good I think. Carry on! 😎 1 What was no more, is REBORN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
