Greetings from MacTechs,

On Friday at 10:00 am, we will begin the final portion of WA+U's transition towards Active Directory and the new network IP address scheme.

All network services, including VPN, File Server, BIM Server, and Revu Server will be offline beginning at 10:00 am on Friday. Email and Teams will remain available without interruption from any device. Network services will be restored on Friday evening. You will be notified via email when the work is complete and services are available.

When finished working on Thursday evening (or Friday morning before 10:00 am) please disconnect from all network services. The simplest way to do so is to log out of your computer. If you need to use email or Teams, log back in and launch Outlook and/or Teams.  Please ensure your computer is not connected to Viscosity (Viscosity icon should be red).

The purpose of this work will accomplish two main goals: 1). Improve the reachability of the internal services from VPN remote locations that use the same IP address schema as our internal IP schema; 2). Change the authentication (login and password) systems that your computers use to access internal services (such as the file server, VPN server, etc) from Apple's discontinued Open Directory system to Microsoft's Windows Server 2022 Active Directory system.

Please contact MacTechs via ServiceDesk if you have any questions.

Thanks!
