Define a maintenance window name. Rice IT does not generally allow piggy backing of maintenance due to confounding problems when diagnosing post maintenance problems. Each window should be defined around a service if possible i.e. Calendar,Owlspace, Exchange, Cyrus, Stoarge ....etc. As a general rule, the service maintenance window is defined around a number of criteria.
