CaTS News: Changes to Instructor Station Computers

Friday, December 14, 2012

Recently, CaTS has been working to improve the performance of instructor station computers located in the electronic classrooms. Beginning in the spring semester, CaTS will remove the firewall authentication process from these computers. Firewall authentication currently happens when the Internet Explorer window opens to the access.wright.edu website after the initial computer login.

This change will accomplish two things. First, it will eliminate the requirement for faculty to log in a second time in order to access the internet. The initial computer log in will be the only one needed. Secondly, the time needed to startup the computer and have it available for class is reduced.

If you have any questions concerning this change, please contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or send an email to helpdesk@wright.edu.

RaiderMail Update - Spam Filtering

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

Wright State University has been successfully using the Proofpoint anti-spam/antivirus software for the past four years. During the transition to RaiderMail we opted to continue using our existing Proofpoint services in addition to the anti-spam filter from Microsoft that is available with RaiderMail.

We are currently evaluating whether we should continue using the Microsoft anti-spam software due to concerns with its configuration options. After all accounts have been migrated to RaiderMail, which should occur before the end of the year, we will make a recommendation regarding the continued use of the Microsoft anti-spam software. Until that decision is made we urge you to monitor your RaiderMail Junk E-Mail folder for misfiled messages. If you would like to turn off the junk e-mail filtering, see the link below. We also recommend that you review the daily End-User Digest email generated from Proofpoint for messages that Proofpoint has marked as spam.

Disable Junk E-Mail Filtering in RaiderMail:

Documentation on Proofpoint can be found at:
Antispam Website

To login to Proofpoint to change settings and view quarantined messages go to: http://antispam.wright.edu/

As a reminder, there is documentation available for RaiderMail at the following website: https://support.wright.edu/raidermail/. Two new sections that you might find useful have been added to this website: “Known Issues” and “Microsoft Notifications”.
