Details may change and I will confirm with affected staff on Friday but on Saturday there will likely be significant disruptions to staff networks – but students should be unaffected.

There will be no email for staff and no network drives on Saturday. Staff who try to log on to a PC on Saturday will get error messages and only a local profile. Some initial recommendations: leave front desk machines running on Friday night – there will be error messages about offline connections in the morning, but Horizon should be fine. At the moment, I’m not sure about Diebold.

Lin will ensure local profiles exist on front desk machines so that if they are logged off, they should re-connect well enough to use Horizon.

Probably best to not run notices until Sunday.

Thanks, Peter
