May 10 Briefs Excerpts: 

IT Maintenance Period Set for Tuesday, May 16, 5-10 p.m. 
There will be an IT maintenance period on this upcoming Tuesday, May 16. During maintenance, the MIS systems will be offline while patches are applied and systems rebooted. All MIS applications will be back up and working by 10 p.m. Symantec Antivirus software and the power management software (Verdiem/Surveyor) will be upgraded to the latest version for Windows. In addition, Core Common User Environment software, such as Firefox and Thunderbird, will be updated to the latest version. Linux and Windows patches will also be released to all desktops and servers. Server systems will reboot overnight, which may cause short outages to central services. Plan on rebooting your Linux or Windows desktop no later than Friday, May 19, to finalize patch installation. If you have any questions or concerns about this outage, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155.
