Recent News


  • If a user gets a temporary gmail re-enable, and then changes their password in myuser.nmu.edu, their gmail will again be disabled.


  • Just a reminder, anyone that wants a chip for the LTE network in their laptop, needs to log into their machine and setup account if they haven't. Also, do a Lenovo System update before submitting to hardware for the installation.


  • And as mentioned elsewhere, turn around time when something goes to Micro is 4 hours for this week and next week at least. Make sure to let LTE installees know this so they can decide if want it installed now or wait a couple weeks when it will be back down to 2 hours.


  • We'll have a lot of students moving into dorms saying their smart tv's, playstations, etc are not working on ethernet and/or wifi. Those devices need to be registered to work. they might get lucky registering through the device itself if it is very new but otherwise they'll need to register it as an Other Device from their laptop: https://it.nmu.edu/docs/connect-device-nmu-network. It doesn't guarantee it will work. Especially if it's wifi only and/or has it's own router built in like a wireless printer.


  • The registration page doesn't work for the majority of new laptops, You will need to walk users through accepting our university security certificate. You can try to log in with wpa, otherwise see info at bottom of https://it.nmu.edu/docs/registering-computer-nmus-network. Phones will also have the registration issue due to certificates. Most should have an option to Trust the "untrusted" cert either in settings or a browser window.


  • The English department instructions for their Xerox printer are significantly different for Windows 11 so make sure to follow the appropriate directions. (Most should have come through already but may have a couple new grads or faculty who still need it)


  • Please remember to communicate through hdfull or at the very least include me, paul and dan on any emails.


  • If you have issues with ultratime and/or your hours worked, let Paul know, he's in charge of that currently.


  • There was recently a data breach in a piece of software that most colleges in the US use. Although no extremely sensitive information was leaked we may see an uptick in phishing e-mails and spoofing e-mails being reported. It is important at this time to be extra diligent when verifying peoples identities for things like password resets and encouraging people to set up and use 2FA so that everyone's accounts remain secure.


  • We want to discourage Send-a-Techs as much as possible this week. Try to remote connect and fix issues if at all possible. If they insist, let them know it may be several days before we call to setup an appointment. In addition, current laptop turn around time for rest of this week and next is 24 hours.
