Maintenance window procedure
Weekly: Managed computers (desktop and mobile)
In order to provide timely application of updates, patches and stability fixes, and minimize disruptions during regular business hours, IT Services has after hours maintenance windows designated for updating managed desktop and mobile computers. Available updates will be pushed (downloaded and installed) on all managed computers initiated during these after hours maintenance windows. Unmanaged computers are not included in this maintenance schedule. If managed computers are not powered on during the maintenance window, updates are queued up and received by the computer the next time it is turned on and typically executed silently.
Please contact the IT Service Desk for any exception requests on specialized systems.
Software Disposals
Software no longer required may be dropped off at the IT Service Desk for disposal. You may now request to have an analyst collect it.
