UMR IT will be distributing critical security updates via the SUS servers on all IT-supported Windows XP machines with a campus standard install on them on Monday, May 14, 2007. These updates will improve the security of the Windows XP operating system and Microsoft Office 2002 & 2003.
Customers who use IT-installed computers (faculty, staff, CLC computers, etc.) may be prompted to reboot their computers starting 3 p.m. on Tuesday, May 15. Customers with administrative privileges may be prompted sooner than 3 p.m. The affected computers will automatically reboot themselves if no one is logged in.
Internet Explorer 7 (IE 7) will NOT be installed as a part of this update. IE 7 is not yet compatible with a number of web applications commonly used on the UMR campus, including PeopleSoft and Documentum Web Publisher. IE 7 will not be installed on campus-standard machines until after UMR IT determines that IE 7 is compatible with current campus web applications.
