Planned Maintenance Notification / Site Down for Maintenance

Your first idea is something we considered, it is a work around and will do the job.  The second idea about the login would not work for us, we use this area for our legal notices and if they are accessing Orion through our service portal, we have created our own SSO approach to orion, so they don't get the login page since it authenticates them through our custom sso.  ;-)

For part 1 why don't you just set up a custom html resource on your home page like this scrolling marquee text for announcements

Or you can go to Settings > Web Console Settings > Site Login Text and insert your message there to show up on the login page like this

These options don't come with any scheduler but are pretty easy to implement using existing features.

And for part 2 -

I suppose Solarwinds could build some kind of management tool for handling this kind of website stuff for you, but IIS already has several methods to deal with things like that.  See this article for one easy method of doing planned maintenance notifications, but there are dozens of others - Easy unavailability page in IIS - OutSystems‌

This is two years old, where does this stand?  This would be a great feature and to be honest, fairly easy to implement.  We could do it ourselves, but would need to rework the code for every upgrade.  To put in the base code, would be simple enough.  If someone from support or even better usability department could respond to this request.

The second part could be done with some knowledge of IIS, but it should be automated in SW.
