Add BigFix to your machines!
Don't forget to add the BigFix client to your staff machines. Adding it will heighten our ability to keep our machines updated with the most current Norton Antivirus definitions, as well as Windows Updates.
BigFix was implemented by ITSS after the big security breaches suffered by Stanford and other large institutions the last 2 years. Despite our efforts, we will be adding BigFix to our current setup of automated updating, as a precaution.
If you have any questions, please contact Sonny at ldelapen@stanford.edu .

SUL Tech Support email address
SUL Tech Support now has an email address that can be used for submitting questions, relaying information and a variety of other uses for which a HelpSU or an email to one team member is not appropriate. The address is sultechsupport@lists.stanford.edu .
The usefulness of our new email address is in the need to address us with questions that are not born of a technical problem; relaying information that may or may not be of a technical nature, but is not a troubleshooting problem; and in contacting all the team members of SUL Tech Support, enhancing the chances of one of us responding to your inquiry in a timely fashion.
We view this as an enhancement in the communication between EPs and Tech Support. If you have any questions regarding it's use, please send an email to sultechsupport@lists.stanford.edu .
