In early 2014, Microsoft will discontinue all support and security updates for the XP operating system, increasing vulnerability for these systems and our campus network. It’s time to start planning for some upcoming changes in IT’s support of XP.
Effective Jan. 1, 2014, all XP devices at S&T will be restricted from open network access at S&T in order to protect the campus network. The first step to take is to schedule a consultation with information technology (IT) by calling the Help Desk at 341-4357.
