It’s a big day for IR announcements. This just came out over Bboard:
All staff and faculty using Windows XP are encouraged to visit the IT Services Installation channel in the Employee tab of the my.scranton portal to install Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). The IE8 installation package will update existing installations of Internet Explorer 6 and 7 to Internet Explorer 8 and will install the KACE KBOX agent. In an effort to better secure University desktops from malware infections, it is critical to install and maintain the KACE KBOX agent on all University owned computers. IT Services will continue to deploy third party patches to all office systems using the KACE KBOX systems management appliance.
Please be advised that because the KACE KBOX agent is included in the IE8 installation package, this package is intended for installation on University owned PCs only.
Before you begin the installation, please save your work and close all other programs.
Questions and concerns about the Internet Explorer 8 installation should be directed to the Technology Support Center at x4357.
Note: To complete the installation of IE8, you’ll have to restart your computer. Make sure you have everything saved!
