Announcements
University IT has completed the migration of more than 40,000 faculty, staff, and student email and calendar accounts to Office 365 in the cloud.
The new system takes advantage of cloud storage and scalability, and also incorporates robust security and Stanford's single sign-on system. University IT will continue to maintain an Exchange environment on campus on a for-fee basis for those interested in keeping their data on the premises.
A few project metrics that may be of interest:
The Stanford Accounts application and Sponsorship Manager will be unavailable from 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 15 until 8 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 16, while the underlying system is being updated.
During this planned outage, users will need to contact the IT Service Desk at 650-725-4357 (5-HELP) for assistance with resetting their SUNet ID password or generating a one-time use two-step authentication code.
University IT is a collaborative partnership of the three IT units within Stanford's Business Affairs organization, all dedicated to delivering world-class service and technological solutions in support of research, teaching and learning, administration, and healthcare.
The December 2015 issue of the University IT newsletter is now available.
Zimbra, our legacy email and calendar system, will be sunsetted on December 31, 2015. If you are using Zimbra, please submit a HelpSU ticket immediately so that we can migrate your email and calendar data.

Dear Colleagues,
As you are all aware, information security remains a shared concern and plays an important part in protecting university assets and personal privacy. To strengthen this protection, in January 2014 the university established a requirement to verifiably encrypt all employee Windows and Macintosh laptops/desktops used on the campus network by May 31, 2015 (with limited exceptions for special research equipment). More than 24,000 of these computers are now encrypted, and I deeply appreciate your participation in this effort.

Mac OS X version 10.11 is now live. Before upgrading to the new version, please review the University IT compatibility page.
Note that the OpenAFS client is not compatible with OS X 10.11. If you upgrade you will need to use the web client or SFTP to access AFS.
The Stanford Accounts application and Sponsorship Manager will be unavailable from 5:00 p.m. on Thursday October 15th until 8:00 a.m. on Friday, October 16th, while the underlying system is being updated.
