Weekly System Maintenance

To maintain optimal performance, it is necessary to perform routine system maintenance on key information services.  We will perform this during off hours with nightly routine operational maintenance during the time periods noted below.  It is during these time frames that services and systems may be unavailable.  Should system maintenance require service interruption, IT will communicate this through campus communication channels. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

What do I need to do to get on the network?

Capital University is pleased to offer both wired and wireless network access on campus! To help secure and protect the network infrastructure, a network admission control system (NAC) called “Clean Access” is in place to ensure that all computers pass the necessary security requirements. 

Windows XP must have service pack 3 (SP3) installed Windows Vista must have service pack 1 (SP1) installed                              
Windows systems must have Firewalls enabledWindows updates must be current on all Window machines 
All Macintosh and Windows PCs must have current anti-virus software installed (ex: Symantec)

You should scan and remove any contaminates (ex: viruses, worms, etc.)  

You will be required to download and install the Clean Access Agent to your computer system.  Detailed instructions on how to perform some of these tasks can be found on this web site: http://nacremediation.capital.edu

Installing the clean access agent is a simple process and most can perform this task without much difficulty, however, if you need assistance, visit the IT Service Desk (Located in the basement of Blackmore Library)


Microsoft Office 2007 Tutorials

Many users have been upgraded to Microsoft Office 2007.  Microsoft 2007 user interface is very different from Office 2003. To get acclimated, the department is providing the campus community with links to interactive tutorials from Microsoft that will aid in the transition.
