IT outages fixed; regional elections meeting scheduled
Summary
County IT reported a spam-filter failure that prevented attachments from being delivered and a name-server failure; both were corrected and a failover name server was built. IT also reported legacy storage-array issues; a vendor engineer was on-site to help identify compatible spare parts. Elections staff announced a regional meeting with a focus
County IT staff reported two technical failures that disrupted email delivery and name resolution; both issues were corrected and the IT team added a failover name server to reduce the risk of recurrence.
An IT staff member (Chuck) told commissioners a third-party spam-scanning service had failed to process attachments, preventing delivery of some emails; that issue was corrected late the previous afternoon and the missing attachments were delivered. Mid-afternoon the county experienced a name-server failure; staff corrected it and built a spare name server for failover.
Jim and Chuck also reported legacy hardware problems in the county's storage array that require legacy connectivity to diagnose and procure spare parts; a vendor engineer from Regis is on-site to provide the necessary connectivity and help identify replacement hardware.
Elections staff (Tim) notified commissioners of a regional meeting hosted by Franklin County for nine surrounding counties focused on election security. The county's Deputy Williams will present on election-security work and an FBI agent is scheduled to brief election authorities.
