Microsoft has released an out of band update for Internet Explorer to address a vulnerability that could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using IE. As a result, all SMU client Windows workstations will be patched this Friday August 21st at 12pm.
Due to the severity of the vulnerability, the patch will be approved for distribution via WSUS and LanDesk. Once the patch is applied, users will be prompted to reboot (either a LanDesk prompt or a Microsoft Windows prompt). Please reboot following the installation of the patch.
Our summer hours are as follows:
Faculty teaching in these rooms will now notice that HDMI is an available source and the black AV box has been moved into the lectern to give you more room to stand. We’ve also re-designed the keypad interface so users can select a laptop input just by pressing a single button. (Previously it was necessary to also make a selection on the small switcher that was under the keyboard tray.) If you want to use your laptop, simply choose VGA or HDMI on the familiar keypad and plug in the appropriate cable. These rooms have also been given new projectors that provide a brighter, clearer image.
