Antivirus Solutions
|
|
Information Technology would like to remind users of the university’s new antivirus solutions: Forefront and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). Because OSU is no longer licensed for McAfee, any OSU-issued copies of McAfee should be replaced with these solutions. (Note: The Mac version of McAfee is still available on the Software Distribution Center.) For instructions on how to set up the software on your computer, please visit the Antivirus Resource Center. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@okstate.edu or (405) 744-HELP (4357).

New Wireless Network
|
|
A new wireless network called OSUSECURE is now available on the Stillwater campus. Users will login to the network with their O-Key username and password. When using the OSUSECURE network, users won’t have to authenticate again until their password expires or is updated. For more information, please visit the Wireless Network Resource Center. IT recommends users on the Stillwater campus who are currently using the OSUWIRELESS network to start using OSUSECURE. If you have any questions, please contact the IT Helpdesk at helpdesk@okstate.edu or (405) 744-HELP (4357).

Different Ways to Connect
|
|
In order to continue its efforts to enhance security measures for the university, Information Technology has made two options available to connect to OSU resources: the VPN client and Terminal Services Gateway (TS Gateway). The VPN client is available to OSU employees only and can be found on the IT Software Distribution Web site. TS Gateway is a Web-based solution, and configuration on the workstation and connecting servers may be required. Information on the configuration can be found at the TS Gateway Resource Center. IT is available to help all employees and students with these solutions. Please contact the IT Helpdesk at (405) 744-HELP or helpdesk@okstate.edu for assistance.
