by ·Comments Off on Beware of Scam Email from “abuse@denison.edu”

The email with no subject that appears to be from “abuse@denison.edu” is a scam.

If you are using Denison Apps Mail:

Open the message and click the down arrow beside the Reply button and select “Report phishing” in the menu that appears. (Note: if “Report phishing” does not appear as an option and “Report not phishing” appears instead then the message is already flagged as phishing.)

This reports the phishing attack to Google and improves the identification and blocking of future phishing attacks. After you report it, please delete the message.

NOTE: this option is only available in the web (Gmail) interface for Denison Apps. It is not available if you are using Thunderbird, Apple Mail, or another client to access your Denison Apps email.

Please DO NOT RESPOND to or click links in this or any emails that request computer account or other personal information. They are an attempt to steal, at minimum, your email or other computer account, at maximum, your identity.

From the e-Procurement vendor (SciQuest):

Infrastructure maintenance is scheduled for Saturday, December 10, from 6:00 p.m. through 2:00 a.m. EST. UIT and Production SelectSite will be unavailable during this time.

SciQuest typically provides this detail within the monthly SciQuest Cloud Report and in the December report, that information was mislabeled and positioned under the SIMS Products heading.

We appreciate your patience during this scheduled maintenance window.

We have recently been alerted that the audio settings in the Dialpad app under “App Settings” gets defaulted on a computer reboot or after a prolonged duration of sleep. For consistency and better audio quality of calls, please ensure that the microphone and speakers are selected to the appropriate USB headset.

One way to get around this is to set the audio settings as mentioned in the link below:

A Windows 10 update that corrects the drive mapping issue has now been released. There are two methods to install it:

  • Click the Start button and then select “Settings”, “Update & Security”, and “Windows Update”. You should see the update listed there and your computer will automatically download and prompt you to restart (or schedule a restart) to install it. NOTE: If the update is not listed, please click the “Check for Updates” button.
  • At the end of the day, click the Start button and choose “Power” and then “Update and Shutdown” or “Update and Restart”.

UPDATE 11/10/16 12:15PM

ITS has identified that the drive mapping issue is the result of a recently released Windows update. Microsoft has issued another update that corrects the issue and ITS is in the process of testing it prior to releasing it to campus to assess if it causes any other issues. This post will be updated again as soon as the update that fixes the issue is released. In the meantime, please use the workaround below to mount your Novell drives.

ORIGINAL POST:

ITS has received a number of reports where network drives have not mapped as expected after logging in to a Windows computer and do not appear in File Explorer. If you experience this problem, please try the following workaround to access your network drives:

  1. Click the up arrow in the lower righthand corner of your Windows desktop.
  2. Right-click on the red N in the window that appears.
  3. Choose “Novell Login” at the top of the resulting menu.
  4. Enter your BigRedID and password as usual and click OK.
  5. Click the Windows Start button and choose “File Explorer” and see if your network drives are listed.

Please report the problem to the ITS Help Desk including the following information:

  • When you tried to log in.
  • The Denison inventory sticker number of the computer you were using (this has been reported on both faculty/staff and eclassroom computers).
  • Whether you tried the above workaround and if it was successful.

This post will be updated as more information is available. If you have any questions, please contact us…
