Microsoft Exchange 2007 Update September 11, 2008
Posted by miriw in : New Technologies, Staff News , add a commentTo all Faculty and Staff,
On September 11th, at 11:00 PM, we will begin the migration of everyone’s mailbox to new Microsoft Exchange 2007 mailbox servers. Because this will be a lengthy process, we will need to continue the migration of mailboxes outside of our normal maintenance window. We will be moving mailboxes every weekday evening beginning at 11:00 PM and will finish by 6:00 AM. Once your mailbox has been migrated, the Outlook Web Access interface will look very similar to your Outlook client running on your desktop computer.
If you have any problems, please contact the ITS Helpdesk at 766-6804.

Webmail Upgrade for Faculty and Staff August 26, 2008
Posted by drowden in : General News, New Technologies, Staff News , add a commentDear Faculty and Staff,
On the morning of Friday, September 5th, when you access your web mail you will see a new logon page. This is because we are in the process of upgrading to a newer email system. You will still logon the same way that you always have, with uniqname@umflint.edu and your password, however the logon page will look like the picture below. Once you are logged on, your web mail will look the same until we migrate your mail box to the new servers. Starting Thursday evening September 11th during our normal maintenance window and each subsequent Thursday evening/Friday morning, we will move some users mail boxes until we have moved them all. We anticipate that the entire process will take a month. Once your mailbox is moved you will have a 2 Gigabyte mailbox instead of the current 150 Megabyte mailbox. You will receive the size limit warning message at 1.8 Gigabytes. At 1.9 Gigabytes you will not be able to send email and at 2 Gigabytes you will not be able to send or receive email until you remove some messages.
If you have any questions or issues please contact the ITS Help Desk at 766-6804.
Sincerely,
ITS HelpDesk

Super Science Friday May 5, 2008
Posted by rweidner in : General News, Staff News, Uncategorized , add a comment
On Friday, May 2nd ITS staff member Debi Rowden presented information about Computer CSI to a total of 55 Super Science Friday students in two separate sessions. The students ranged in grades from 5th-8th and were from local schools. At last year’s Super Science Friday ITS assisted students in creating their own podcasts. This year students had the opportunity to learn how forensic investigators utilize technology to solve crimes as well as the chance to participate in a hands-on activity involving encryption. Clickers were employed to test students’ knowledge on how to safely use the Internet and for a brief survey about their interest in computer CSI and UM-Flint. Rhymney Weidner and Miri Weidner assisted Debi with the in-class activities.
