Wireless networks on the 7th floor of Soda Hall were offline beginning at 17:31 yesterday (8/18) due to a faulty switch PoE module. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of this until about 15:00 today.
We have replaced the faulty switch, and service was restored around 17:30.

A volume license for Windows 10 has been obtained by the department and copies are now available at 395 Cory Hall, the Helpdesk. The 64bit version available contains the long term servicing branch of Windows. More information about this can be found here: https://blogs.windows.com/business/2015/01/30/windows-10-for-enterprise-more-secure-and-up-to-date/
As with any new OS version, we recommend taking a cautious approach to upgrading: not upgrading too soon, waiting for initial patch releases, and so on. That being said, we have so far seen good results with Windows 10 upgrades. Windows 10 works fine with our infrastructure (wifi, file service, …), and works well on machines that shipped initially with Windows 7 or 8.
So you can choose to update your current system to Windows 10 now, or wait until your next machine purchase comes with Windows 10 pre-installed. Windows 7 will remain supported until January 2020.
Apple has added a new feature to its AppleCare+ warranty service. The company said it will now replace the battery on a device if its capacity, or the amount of energy it’s able to hold, falls to below 80 percent.
To check if your Apple device is still under warranty, use https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
All Macbooks purchased through the department have Applecare for 3 years.

In response to a few users missing some important emails that were
flagged as Spam, IDSG has been requested to modify the way we are
tagging Spam. We will be raising the TAG_LEVEL threshold on our Spam
appliances. This change will be made Wed 5/5/10. Users may see some
increased Spam as a result. However, we are expecting fewer legitimate
emails will now be flagged as Spam. Here is a link showing how to manage
filters and enable white/black-lists to help mitigate any possible
increase in Spam:
