To OneStop. In its first three weeks. Not bad.

Wireless upgrade in progress

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

By late March, 2008, campus users will have a new secure wireless access option in addition to VPN access.

Devices that support WPA2 Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) will be able to connect to the UM wireless network when the three-month upgrade process is completed. Each of the approximately 100 wireless access points (WAPs) on campus will require upgrades. The cost of the WAP upgrades will be covered centrally, even if a unit originally purchased the WAPs.

A detailed release about the wireless upgrade from CITO Ray Ford is available at http://www.umt.edu/it/news/wirelessupgrade.htm.

One small stop for man, one giant leap . . .

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

If you are one of about 700 students, faculty and staff who have used the beta version of The University of Montana’s OneStop for more than just a password change, you’ll notice something different when you login today.

No, it hasn’t landed on the moon.

OneStop is no longer a beta service. It is in full production as of today, January 10, 2008. This is a major milestone for a project that has been in the works for four years. There have been a lot of speed bumps and roadblocks along the way, and there’s still miles left to travel, but OneStop represents a giant leap forward in technology-based services and communication for campus.

If you’ve been using OneStop, you’ll notice that all of your customizations are gone. Sorry about that. That was the price that had to be paid for upgrading to new hardware, new software and a pretty cool new interface. The customizations you’ll have to rebuild will be easier with new drag-and-drop capabilities (among other enhancements).

If you haven’t tried OneStop, please do. It’s your web space. Just go to onestop.umt.edu and log in with your NetID.

There will be much more written about OneStop in the coming months and years. We always welcome your feedback and ideas for how to make it better.
