Possible Blacklisting: 11/9/09
November 9th, 2009 by Kathy GarramoneA student e-mail account was compromised this morning (11/9/09) and used to send out a large amount of spam. IT has taken steps to address the situation, but some blacklisting may occur. If your constituents experience e-mail bounces that you think may be a result of blacklisting, please notify IT Central (itcentral@umontana.edu or x4357) and be sure and include a copy of the bounce messages.
Banner and Windows 7
November 9th, 2009 by Kathy GarramoneNow that Windows 7 is available and currently being distributed to UM campus departments, many folks are beginning to upgrade to the new operating system. Based on comments and our experience thus far, Windows 7 appears to be a vast improvement over Vista.
However, if you are a Banner user or you support Banner users in your department please keep in mind that at this point in time, SunGard, Banner’s parent company, does not yet support Banner on Windows 7. As soon as SunGard announces that they support Banner running on Windows 7 computers, UM IT will begin full support as well. Please note that if you do attempt to run Banner on a computer running Windows 7, please do so at your own risk.
As soon as SunGard announces support, an announcement will be posted.
