Updates for all Windows and Mac workstations set for Oct. 29
Georgia Southern Enterprise Infrastructure Services will perform updates for all Windows and Mac workstations across all three Georgia Southern campuses on Thursday, Oct 29, beginning at 8 p.m. These updates will improve security and performance of University devices.
- For Windows Workstations:
- Standard Security updates - a restart will be required and will occur between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.
- For Mac Workstations:
- ESET antivirus agent will be deployed - a restart will be required and will occur between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
- If a user is logged on after the installation, the system will ask the user to acknowledge that a restart is required to complete installation.
- Once acknowledged, a 15-minute timer will start. You may elect to restart your Mac immediately, rather than wait for the timer. If you do not restart your computer, when the countdown reaches zero, the computer will restart automatically.
- If the device is not connected to the GS network, it will receive the update the next time it is connected to the GS network during the maintenance period (10 p.m. - 6 a.m.).
