University of Manitoba Email Issues
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 15 Oct '10

15 Oct '10

The University of Manitoba is still trying to resolve the problems caused by the repeated Phishing scams. The scams have resulted in the University’s campus network being blocked by several Internet Email Service Providers over the past week. We have been able to resume service with most providers; the most notable exception to this would be Windows Live Hotmail. Any email sent to a hotmail account continues to be rejected from their email server. Several attempts have been made at all levels to have this block removed. At this time Microsoft has not facilitated our requests. University of Manitoba correspondence between staff, faculty and students has been directly impacted as a result. At this time, IST is recommending that all official correspondence must be between University of Manitoba computer accounts. Please note, never give out your password. IST will never ask you for your password. Protect, your computer account information as you would any other confidential information. IST has more information available on Phishing here:http://umanitoba.ca/computing/ist/security/phishing.html Help & Solutions Centre Information Services & Technology Phone: (204) 474 8600 123 Fletcher Argue University of Manitoba

Emergency Repair Information and Update - Angel Notification
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

IST continues the efforts to recover the health of our hardware and restore our systems and services. IST had planned to keep the Angel Learning System available but unfortunately this was not possible. Since 6pm IST has been preparing for hardware replacement. At 7:15pm the replacement hardware arrived at the University. We are now under way at implementing the replacement hardware that should hopefully restore our systems and services. Any system or service not operational at this time can’t be recovered until the replacement hardware has been implemented and tested. If the new hardware is successful all systems including the Angel Learning System will be brought back into service and the systems should be fully operational by 6 am on Oct 12th. We do not expect at this time to have suffered any loss of data throughout this process. -- Robert Dvorski Information Technologist Help& Solutions Centre, Client Services Information Services& Technology University of Manitoba robert_dvorski(a)umanitoba.ca 204-474-9865

In the event that the University's final offer is not accepted by the members as of Friday, August 20, 2010, an impasse will have been reached and either strike action or a lockout would occur. This would apply only to Security Services Patrol Officers and Supervisors and would not apply to the AESES main bargaining unit. Should a strike or lockout occur: (i) the University will continue to operate in the normal course. Scheduled classes will continue to be held and support services will be maintained; (ii) the University will ensure that security is maintained through the services of one or more security firms. Contact Linda Lavallee, Director Security Services at 474-8709, with any particular concerns that may need to be addressed. All staff, students and the general public have the right to cross picket lines. Staff not included in the AESES-UMSS (Security Services) bargaining unit are expected to work as usual during any strike/lockout of AESES-UMSS (Security Services) members.
