Critical Updates for Internet Explorer 08-03-2009


Microsoft has released a critical update to address a security issue in Internet Explorer which needs to be implemented outside the normal update schedule.  Our ITS Security group has worked with Desktop Support to prepare a push of these updates using Big Fix.   The update requires a workstation reboot.
 
Monday morning, August 3rd, clients will receive a message stating the update is ready to run and that their machine will need to be rebooted after the updates are loaded.  After the updates are pushed, clients may select an option allowing them to delay rebooting their machine for up to 3 days.  However, on Wednesday morning, August 5th, machines that have not been restarted will reboot automatically.

Brief Email Outages During Off Hours - July 18 – 26, 2009


Information & Technology Services will be performing maintenance on one of the servers that hosts Faculty and Staff email accounts over the next week.  In order to more efficiently maintain this server, the email accounts must be moved to new space on the server.  During the time that a client’s account is being moved, he/she will not be able to log in.  Moves will take place over the weekend and after 5:30pm during the work week.  No changes to your account or the way you access it will occur as a result of this work. PLEASE NOTE:   While your account is being moved, you will not be able to check your email. For a complete list of ITS outages and alerts, please visit the ITS Message Center at <https://secure.uncc.edu/MessageCenter>.

Drupal Meetup


I am excited to announce the third UNC Charlotte Drupal Meetup. This is a great opportunity for Drupal developers and others interested in Drupal to meet "off-line" in an open forum to discuss their projects. Drupal related questions will be more than welcome too! There will also be a short presentation to start the meetup. I hope to see you there!


SUARShare Now Available!


SUAR IT has setup a folder for all SUAR units to share files as needed. It is located at j:\slfm\SUARShare (or S:\slfm\mydept\slfm\SUARShare). Staff and most of our student employees can access the share. 

We ask that you clean up files from the SUARShare if they are only needed temporarily.

Please contact SUAR IT Support STaff if you have any questions.

Thanks!
Shrop
