Full Description:
On Thursday, 10/20/22 at 9 am, ad7.cornell.edu server (domain controller) will be turned off. This may impact services that do not have a way to automatically use a different domain controller. If you have any services, devices such as a printer or NAS server, scripts or automated processes that has ad7.cornell.edu embedded in the configuration as the only server for connecting to cornell.edu Active Directory domain, please change the configuration to point to ad1.cornell.edu. If the service/device can use DNS round-robin records, you can use query.ad.cornell.edu instead but only if the service/device supports this configuration.
