Typical maintenance done during this period includes OS and application patches, driver updates, firmware updates, etc. Work such as significant hardware or software upgrades will continue to be planned and scheduled for times that have minimal impact on the users of that particular system. Whenever planned work is being done that involves downtime or potential downtime, an announcement is made via email.
