Milne 213 Welcome

Team,
A few important things to make you aware of in our new space:
  • Before putting up any decorations or moving furniture, etc., please check with me or Max Cohen. Our space is shared now with other staff in Client Services. As such, we have a little less latitude about decorations and such. Keep it clean and professional.
  • Break room: the break room is downstairs next to the rest rooms. There is a key for students (and a check out form) hanging up in the inner office at the bench. Also, all full-timers have a key to that door.
  • Door access: Lucas is working on getting us electronic access to the 213 door. For now we have been leaving it propped open while staff are here, but once we all have door access it will be locked 24×7.
  • Supplies: There are some kitchen type supplies (napkins, utensils, plates) in the drawers across from my cube. There are also some office supplies (pens, sticky notes, tape, staplers, printer paper) located there. Miscellaneous hardware such as cables and computer parts are located in the large gray cabinets in the back office. Note: we are still getting settled in and things are likely to keep moving around for a bit. Come ask me if you can’t find something.
  • Printer: Will be set up as \\iscs-printq.tss.oregonstate.edu\MCC-213-HP-LaserJet-P3015 as soon as the port gets set to the correct VLAN. For now you can print to it at: MCC-213-HP-LaserJet-P3015-temp.tss.oregonstate.edu

Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, ideas, existential angst, etc.

Welcome to Milne.  🙂

WINDOWS CLIENTS: TUESDAY UPDATES

Tonight @ 10 PM we will be pushing an SCCM package to remove bad patch KB3114717 from Windows computers with Office 2013 32-bit or 64-bit installed. This push will not force a reboot.

Note: This patch has already been removed from WSUS and has been added to MDT for the build bench to run after builds have been completed.

This push will impact the following computers:

Devices with KB3114717 on Office 32-bit – SCCM Detailed Report
Devices with KB3114717 on Office 64-bit – SCCM Detailed Report

WINDOWS CLIENTS: TUESDAY UPDATES

The following applications will be updated tonight via Ninite:

Flash IE + Firefox: 20.0.0.286 -> 20.0.0.306 (details)
Java: 8.0.710.5 -> 8.0.730.2 (details)
VLC: 2.2.1 -> 2.2.2 (details)

Internet Explorer 11 has been re-approved on the new WSUS server. A little over 2,000 computers should be receiving this update; customers have been notified.

All Windows users can expect to see ~1GB of updates, the majority of which are for Microsoft Office (details).

Note: These updates do require a reboot.

No issues to report.

Facilities and Administration SAS IT Share move

FYI, we’re moving the F&A SAS IT share from ISCS-Data to a new NetApp share tonight.  The move should be fairly transparent to the customers as Ben has an update GPO that will properly map their drives.  Please note the new share location is <\\fa.sig.oregonstate.edu\fa>

While this move only affects a few people we’ll eventually be moving all of F&A’s data to the new share.

Casper Outage – January 27th, 2016 5-6pm

From: Dudzik, James
All,

I will be running the upgrade from Casper 9.81 to 9.82 tonight at 5:00 PM. This will cause an outage when the Tomcat service is stopped, the database is backed up, and then the server is rebooted at the end of the upgrade process. I expect this will be about a twenty minute outage, and I will send a note out at the end of the process when everything is back up and running.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks!
