During the week of Spring Break, we will patch all TSO-managed Windows desktop computers, affecting the following:

o Faculty and staff desktop computers on the CC domain
o Research lab desktop computers on the CC domain
o Instructional lab desktop computers on the GTAD domain

Note: This work does not involve laptops or OutLAN computers.

These patches will require a reboot following installation, so users should save their work, logout, and leave their desktop computers on before leaving for the day. After the patching is complete, your desktop computer WILL BE rebooted even if you are logged in. An onscreen notification countdown will be displayed allowing you 10 minutes before the reboot occurs.
