ITS has been notified that there are issues with printing on campus.

Our ITS team is actively working to identify and fix the issue as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please don’t hesitate to contact the ITS Service Desk at servicedesk@denison.edu.

We’re excited to announce that the Windows 11 upgrade will be available for all Denison University faculty and staff starting March 10th, 2025! As previously announced, this upgrade offers numerous enhancements.

Why This Upgrade Matters

Windows 11 offers a range of enhancements to improve your overall computing experience, including:

  • Improved Performance: Many devices may see faster boot times and smoother multitasking, particularly those with newer hardware.
  • Enhanced Security: Advanced features to better protect your devices and sensitive data against emerging threats.
  • Refreshed Interface: A modern, intuitive design with new features to make navigation easier and more efficient.

Timeline

  • Self-service upgrade available: March 10, 2025.
  • Recommended upgrade window: March 10, 2025 – May 31, 2025
  • Upgrade reminders: June 1, 2025 – July 31, 2025

The upgrade will be automatically installed, after July 31, 2025. To minimize disruptions, we encourage you to back up any critical data before this date. While the upgrade is designed to preserve your files, a backup adds an extra layer of security.

Here’s how:

  1. Before you begin: Ensure all applications are closed, your device is connected to power, and your critical data is backed up to Google Drive or an external storage device. You will be unable to use your computer during this time.
  2. Initiate the upgrade: Click on the “Windows 11 Upgrade” Icon available on your desktop and follow the on-screen prompts.
  3. Automatic Restart: Once the upgrade is downloaded and installed, your computer will automatically restart to complete the process.

For a visual guide to the upgrade process, please refer to this self-service document:
Windows 11 – Self-Service User Experience

UPDATE 2/13/2025 5:55PM

Duo has been working to restore services and testing shows that Duo SMS and call requests for Denison logins are now completing normally. If you continue to experience problems, please report the issue via email to servicedesk@denison.edu.

UPDATE 2/13/2025 3:45PM:

Duo is still working to implement a fix. In the meantime, if you have an iPhone or Android phone but do NOT have the Duo Mobile app installed on it, you may now contact the ITS Service Desk. Access to the Duo Admin Console is now available so we can assist with Duo Mobile activations. However, those must be provided via email. To receive an email activation, you will either need to have access to your Denison email address or to visit the ITS Service Desk in Fellows 100A or call 740-587-6395 to complete identity verification steps and provide an alternate email address.

ORIGINAL POST 2/13/2025 2:20PM

Duo is experiencing an issue that is causing SMS and call delivery failures. Due to this issue, the only available methods to approve logins are Duo Mobile pushes and passcodes, hardware tokens, and security keys. If you have one of these methods available, please use it to approve your login. 

Unfortunately, due to this issue the ITS Service Desk cannot assist with enabling these methods if you don’t already have them set up.

Duo is working to implement a fix. You can find more information directly from Duo on their status page.

We will update this post as soon as the issue is resolved.

Updated Post 2/3/2025 12:15PM

The issue has been resolved and email notifications for voicemails with text transcripts are now being delivered.

IMPORTANT: You may receive some email notifications for voicemails that were sent between 11:00AM-12:15PM that DO NOT have a text transcript. Please listen to the sound files for those messages.

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.

Original Post 2/3/2025 11:00AM:

ITS is investigating a reported issue where email notifications for voicemails stopped being received over this past weekend. Our initial findings suggest this may be affecting all Denison voicemail users. The vendor is actively working to diagnose and resolve the issue. We will provide updates here as they become available. Until the issue is resolved, please check voicemail by phone.

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.
