Faculty and Staff,On Friday March 20^th, 2009, at 11:00 p.m., Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Windows Vista will be sent to all managed computers on campus currently running Windows Vista.  This Service Pack will restart your computer several times during the installation.  It is critical that computers are not manually restarted during the installation.  No computers running Windows Vista will be exempted from this restart. Therefore, it is important that you save everything you are working on before leaving the office on Friday afternoon.

In addition to previously released updates, Service Pack 1 addresses specific reliability, performance and compatibility issues, supports new types of hardware, and adds support for several emerging standards.

If you have any questions concerning this software deployment, please contact the Computer Support Desk at 381-2020.

Thank you,
