March 16 Briefs Excerpts:

Windows Patch Delivery Set for Today
Microsoft has released several critical patches for Windows systems. Due to the nature of these patches, the CNI group has decided to send them out to all Computer Center-managed Windows machines starting tonight. If you work on one of these systems, log out of all desktop computers at the end of your workday on Wednesday, but leave them powered on so that the patches can be installed. If you experience difficulties with your computer in the morning, reboot to see if that fixes the problem before calling the IT Division Helpdesk at x7155 for assistance.

Maintenance Day Scheduled for Tuesday, 5-7 p.m.
The CNI group is planning a maintenance period for 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22. During this time, the Hall D webserver, halldweb1, will be unavailable while it is transitioned to a new server. In addition, several other web servers may experience short outages while configurations are upgraded. Additonally, the CNI group will be pushing out Linux patches to all desktop systems onsite. Plan to reboot your Redhat Enterprise Linux system on the morning of Wednesday, March 23, to complete the patch installation. The public Linux systems, jlabl1-4, will be rebooted on Tuesday evening to complete patch installation.

Tracking Thomas at JLab
The lab's bust of Thomas Jefferson has been touring the lab. Each week, a new picture of Thomas will be unveiled when the Briefs go out on Wednesdays. If you can identify his location, e-mail Kandice Carter with your guess. The first correct response will receive special recognition on this page and in the JLab Weekly Briefs. Guesses are accepted through Fridays. Good Luck! Tracking Thomas: http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/trackingthomas.html
