On 6/28/18 ITS will release an upgrade to McAfee Endpoint Security on Denison-owned Windows computers. This upgrade is “silent” and will not impact your ability to use your computer while it is happening. At some point during the upgrade process, you might notice a Windows notification regarding your antivirus protection being off. It should resolve itself after a short period of time once the new software is installed and running. If the Windows notification stays there permanently, please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@denison.edu or 740-587-6395.

We’ve got a mid summer update coming to MyDenison Tuesday morning June 19th. MyDenison may be unavailable from 7am to 7:30am. This update will include some general updates to the Drupal platform that MyDenison is built on. As well as a few custom updates that our new student worker John Fernow has been helping us with. We’ve brought images back to our news feeds as well as moved our Campus Events feed to our internal platform so we’re not relying on Yahoo anymore. We brought back the link to the NY Times subscription on the US tab of the News section. Plus a bunch of bug fixes and small styling tweaks. As always feel free to check out the details in our release notes after the update is complete.
Please keep an eye on this post or the login page for updates. We’ll try to have MyDenison back up and running as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Jon Stevens

6.21.18 UPDATE – Faculty/Staff with Mac Computers On or Off-campus
Update 6/21/18 5:15PM
We are waiting to hear back from two individuals who are traveling or have been unavailable, and are currently attempting to restore data for three more individuals. We experienced full data loss on seven systems and partial data loss on 12 systems. In most cases, individuals were able to restore files from various sources including Time Machine and Drive backups. We continue to assist with file recovery where possible. 64 systems were fully restored.
**
Update 6/11/18 8:30AM
We have resolved issues for 61 of 86 Macs. Remediation work continues this week as our top priority. If you received a direct email from the ITS Help Desk regarding your Mac and you have not yet contacted us, please do so as soon as possible. To avoid potential data loss, please do not use your Mac until it has been assessed by our Mac technicians. If you are out of town, please contact us at 740-587-6395 to schedule a time for us to call you to talk through the assessment process.
**
Update 6/5/18 5:15PM
Our vendor partner has contained the error and developed a restore process. We have identified 86 faculty/staff Macs that were impacted by this event. Each of these computers will need to be worked on by our team to have the user account and data restored. We have contacted these individuals directly as of 5:11PM under a separate email titled “URGENT: Please contact the ITS Help Desk about your Mac computer ASAP” which includes instructions to coordinate the repair work.
If you did not receive a direct email with your specific computer information, you are cleared to begin using your Mac as normal.
This continues to be our highest priority. We have staff scheduled through midnight tonight and will be working as quickly as possible to get everyone’s system restored and back to them. We will be monitoring the Help Desk phones through the evening, please leave a message if someone is not available to answer at the time your call.
This was not a virus or attack on our systems. This was an unexpected and unusual error in important work being performed by our vendor partner.
I thank you for your patience as we continue to work through this critical response effort. We are aware of the serious impact this event has had on operations and will be working to prevent any future occurrence.
