Microsoft is releasing a special patch tonight to address the vulnerability in Windows Animated Cursor Handling. Attacks against this vulnerability are up recently so Microsoft is pushing this update earlier than the usual monthly patch cycle.
Because of that, the A&F servers and desktops will be patched and rebooted tonight. This will occur at 10:30 PM. Please save your work and log off before that time. Downtime is expected to last no longer than 20 minutes.
Those users that have PGP installed, please leave your computer at the login screen and do not shut down tonight. (just tonight)
- The following resources will be unavailable during the reboot:
- F,G,H, & I drives
- Local email folders in Thunderbird
- Crimestar
- Key system
- Ticket Trak
- A&F web sites
