Due to a technical issue in the VDI environment, a reboot of the connection servers is required. The reboot will take place at 10 p.m. on 10/8/18, and will cause campus VDIs to be unavailable for approximately one hour. A shut down is not required.

If you have any questions, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or email helpdesk@wright.edu. 

Earlier system connectivity issues with WINGS Express and Banner Admin have been resolved.

As previously announced, over the summer CaTS replaced all classroom Mac Minis with Windows-based Dell 5050s. Additionally, all registrar-scheduled classrooms were upgraded to Windows 10.
