The VMware Account Management Portal, through which you log into VMware Store and Communities, will be unavailable due to scheduled maintenance tonight (Friday, September 11, 2009) beginning 6:00PM Pacific Daylight Time, for approximately 5 hours. During this time, VMware Communities will be up; however, unauthenticated users will not be able to log into the site. If you wish to contribute to Communities during this outage period, I recommend you log in prior to this timeframe to make sure you have the proper access rights. Otherwise, the Communities pages will appear in "Guest" mode (i.e. read-only) until you can sign in once again.
