Office Activation Warning

Some users on Windows computers have received a warning from Microsoft Office that it will shut down in 2 days due to not being activated. We have implemented a work-around to this Office Activation bug, and the problem should be resolved this afternoon. If you still have problems on November 15th, please make sure you've been connected to our network for at least 2 hours. If problems persist, please open a service request, and let us know what computer you're having the issue on.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
