SIS: July 4, 2016 at 7am, the 2Factor authentication will become mandatory. CAS (auth.vt.edu) was already deprecated on June 1. Internationals are being impacted due to the 20 telephony credit limit for using voice landline calls. Assessment is ongoing to decide how to accommodate this use case. Major issue is with a foreign individuals who register their landlines first and then cannot get out of it, so must call 4help. Question about how a soft client might assist with this; Ludwig question. Google voice may also be an option.
Google 2step verification is on by default in preprod (pid@preprod.g.mail.vt.edu). Brian Long can change the password if needed. 2step verification won't be enabled by default in production before 11/30/16.
Account Manager is being updated; printing of codes for DUO will be added by end of Month; eTokens are dying by mid-September (by 9/17/16) DAT will be transferred to 2Factor; tied in to getting InCommon Bronze certification.
ITEE: Work during orientation will be ongoing to help with 2Factor. The Information Center "gets it" and so will be a big help.
CNS: Old legacy load balancers will be decommissioned on June 30th, 2016. Regular maintenance will be ongoing during summer period, other than wifi enhancements (AJ, plus) and Building Aggregation Router replacement.
NI&S SMT: Input needed to how users may be using NAS storage. Issues with access below high level mount points and read-only issues for MAC users. Suggestion is to batch migrations and help individual groups make the change. Will affect NFS and CFS mounts. Also suggestion is to publicize issues broadly through comm team and VT News, etc.
Skipper maintenance will be delayed until this issue is resolved.
Listserv to Google Groups; bulk adds have been done for large user populations; smaller loads will be attempted through documentation and use of NAS share. Old lists are being deleted and/or forwarded. Student Orgs still active on listserv will be contacted this week. Probably move these for the orgs and give contacts info on what has been done and where documentation stored.
NI&S App Mgmt: Last VT Alerts servers going to new load balancers this week and next. Some services will be moving off of LBs since the failovers were not configured. Atlas will also be moved soon to new servers.
DBAA: June 19th, Banner maintenance during regular maintenance window. Banner 9 student registration should be in by end of August.
NI&S UCS: HPC outages will be forthcoming; 2 day outage likely after July 4th. This will impact storage which will impact all clusters. iDataPlex (Ithaca) will be phased out July 1. All hosts will have new IP addresses.
ITSO: Seeing an increase in Crypto-Lockers; Sal's Italian restaurant was compromised on Monday of this week.
