Updated Novell Client Rollout

THE PROBLEM
Information Systems has determined that the recent problems with the Novell servers are likely due to old Novell clients on the network.

THE SOLUTION
IS will be forcing upgrades to ALL Novell clients on Windows computers on the network. This includes faculty/staff and students.

HOW WILL THIS AFFECT ME?
Next time you log in, the newest Novell client will be automatically installed on your machine. Then your computer will be rebooted. After that, you can log in and things will proceed normally. This is a one-time procedure.

NOTE: A dialogue box will appear during this upgrade. DO NOT click CANCEL during the upgrade process. Doing so will prevent you from connecting to Novell and will require that Info Systems work with your computer to fix the problem. Please -- do NOT click cancel!

If you have any questions, please contact HelpDesk (helpdesk@emu.edu, x4357, 540-432-4357)
