The list of machines that are in the Office 2016 deployment collection for tonight can be found here (May 9 sheet): Office 2016 Device Upgrade List – By Date

Message was the same as the first notification (http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/cnnews/2016/05/03/notification-first-office-2016-upgrade-group-sent/), just updated the dates.

The following information related to the Office 2016 upgrades was sent out today via email to the first group of Office 2010 users, who will be getting upgraded on May 9. It provides some initial information for the upgrades so I am posting it here as well as a project update.

If you are receiving this message you recently logged into a computer within your department that has Office 2010 installed and can expect that machine to be upgraded overnight starting the evening of May 9. We will be sending out a reminder email to this same list of individuals on the morning on May 9.

Below is a quick list of what you need to do or know before you leave work on May 9:

• Please leave the computer turned on and be sure to log off (if you leave your machine locked, the upgrade will not begin until you log in to it on the morning of May 10)
• If you have your device off campus on the night of May 9, the upgrade will begin the next time to connect to the OSU network
• The Office 2016 installation will NOT remove your Office 2010 desktop and taskbar shortcuts, so please replace them with Office 2016 shortcuts prior to launching any applications
• You can contact the CN call center at 7-8787 (Option 2) to assist you with this if necessary

Note: If you are using Office 2010 via Parallels or VMWare on an Apple device, please adhere to the same preparation steps listed above for the Windows virtual machine

We are also including a Microsoft TechNet link listing what was deprecated or changed in Office 2013, which are the majority of the changes you will see using Office 2016:

If you have questions or concerns, please contact Todd Soli, the project lead: todd.soli@oregonstate.edu.

On Wednesday evening (5-4), OHR will be moved to the new core network. There are approximately 40 hosts and 3 printers being moved (Including 3-5 OSX boxes).

The master ticket for any follow up issues (as well as details on the printers, who’s doing what, etc) is @ https://helpdesk.oregonstate.edu/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=395302
