May 11 Briefs Excerpts:<br>
<br>
<b>Tunnel Access Requires Completing Two-Part Training</b><br>
If you will be working in the CEBAF accelerator tunnel and have not
yet taken SAF 132 Tunnel Worker Safety Awareness training, please be
aware that you will be required to take and complete both parts of
this training before entering the tunnel (as noted in your JLab
Skills Requirement List). For more information, see the complete
announcement:

<br>
<b>Check Training for Shutdown Activities</b><br>
If you are going to be involved in work related to the six-month
shutdown, check your JLab Skills Requirement List to make sure all
of your training is current. If it will come due during the down,
you might want to get it taken care of before the down is underway.
Check with your supervisor to see if any new training will be
required for specialized work you will be undertaking during the
down.<br>
<br>
<b>Upcoming Changes to all Windows Systems at JLab</b><br>
The vast majority of Windows malware exploits the fact that most
Windows users log on to the system with an account that has
administrative privileges on the system. This habit of operating
Windows systems in this fashion goes back to Windows' roots as a
personal operating system, intended for home use. However, in a
large, highly networked environment, this sets the stage for many
serious problems. To address this issue, the Computer Center has
long sought a manageable solution that would work for JLab computer
users. The solution that JLab is adopting is "PowerBroker for
Windows Desktops" by BeyondTrust. Using this new tool, all Windows
systems will be reconfigured so that users don't need to log in with
administrative privileges to get their work done. For more
information, see the full Briefs or visit the Computer Center
