The vast majority of computer systems at the Department of Interior are back online, according to a new court report.

The 11th quarterly report states that 94 percent are up and running and connection to the Internet. But these systems had no Indian trust data, according to a section verified by Associate Deputy Secretary Jim Cason.

Of the remaining six, the report states they are run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Office of the Special Trustee, the Office of Hearings and Appeals and the Office of the Solicitor.
