Login problems in Metropolia services

Due to the last week´s blackout in Leppävaara, our user account synchronization service also stopped working. The management system (amme.metropolia.fi) was restarted on Friday 31/10.

The system restart caused login problems to some user accounts. If you face similar problems, you will need to reset/change your password.

How to reset/change your password:

- netbank User ID via http://salasana.metropolia.fi
- get a new password from the local student affairs office or Helpdesk

The Lukkarikone problem has been fixed

Lukkarikone (http://lukkarit.metropolia.fi) is again available.

Metropolia's network driver services (all driver letters) will be unavailable a couple of times for about 10 minutes each time on Friday, November 7, 2014 beginning at 3pm.

The services outages are due to an urgent drive system update by the provider.

After the outages the network drives will be connected to workstations automatically. Should the network driver not come back, it is recommended that any open documents are saved to the workstation's local hard drive or a USB drive after which the computer is restarted.

AHOT applications' e-mail notifications not working

Currently e-mail notifications of received AHOT applications are not generated and sent to the officers responsible for processing applications.

The officers should click on the Tuubi AHOT3 teacher/officer link and check whether any applications are received.

The problem is being investigated and will be fixed as soon as possible.

IT Services

Due to a blackout all Metropolia's services have been down today.

Most of the services are already operational and we continue to check the systems.
