Up to 12 Hour Delay Receiving Non-UNB Emails
Unscheduled Outage
May 06, 2013 12:38 PM -
Email
All UNB Campuses

Faculty, staff and students of UNB, as well as ECN sites, may experience a delay of up to 12 hours when receiving emails from individuals outside of UNB or other ECN institutions.

This delay is due to last week's successful phishing attack, generating nearly a million outgoing spam messages to be sent from UNB. All of these spam emails have caused a substantial amount of bounce back notifications that need to be processed by UNB's servers.

Emails sent by unb.ca email addresses to unb.ca email addresses are unaffected by this delay.
 

If you have questions or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at:  heldpesk@unb.ca or 453-5199

Change in Off-campus Email Services for some Faculty, Staff, and Retirees
Unscheduled Outage
May 02, 2013 09:34 AM -
Email
All UNB Campuses

Effective immediately faculty, staff and retirees NOT within the connectEd environment (also known as Exchange) will no longer be able to send email through UNB’s email server when off campus.  This has been identified as a vulnerability which has been exploited by spammers as a result of successful phishing attempts.
 
If you are experiencing trouble sending email from off-campus please contact the ITS Help Desk for assistance – helpdesk@unb.ca or 453-5199.
 
Want to make sure you’re connectEd?
Log in to your myUNB Portal and look under the UNB Email widget; if there is ONLY a single link titled ‘Go to my email and calendar’ you are connectEd. You can click on this link to check and send emails or manage your calendar from any computer on or off campus.
 
If you aren’t connectEd and would like to be, please email the ITS Help Desk with your request.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .

UNB email once again blocked by some email providers
Unscheduled Outage
May 01, 2013 08:20 AM -
Email
All UNB Campuses

ITS has restored the ability to send outgoing email. Unfortunately, UNB has once again been added to the email blocked list, SORBS, which means some emails you send may not be delivered. We anticipate remaining on this list for at least two weeks. We are continuing to investigate if we have been added to any other blocked lists.
 
Until we have been removed from blocked lists, if you’re sending an email of importance, be aware that not all undelivered emails will send you a bounce-back or undelivered notification. To ensure your email has been successfully delivered to the intended recipient, please contact them directly to confirm delivery.
 
To learn more about protecting yourself from phishing attacks visit: http://www.unb.ca/its/it-security/email.html .
 
If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .
 
 

Another successful phishing attack against a UNB employee has resulted in temporary suspension of outgoing e-mail from UNB's internal email systems while ITS investigates the incident and adds additional safeguards.

Email between Faculty and Staff on campus in Fredericton or Saint John is unaffected. Email to students is affected. All email to the outside world will be queued and sent once the matter is resolved. Further updates will be provided as more information is available.

If you have questions or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at:  helpdesk@unb.ca or 453-5199

On Tuesday, April 30, ITS will be replacing ZenWorks, UNB’s previous software management solution for Windows, with SCCM (System Center Configuration Manager) on UNB faculty and staff computers.  This update will take place automatically and will not require you to take any action.
 
SCCM is a new software management tool for UNB’s connectEd environment. This new tool will provide faculty and staff with an easy way to request, install and uninstall UNB-licensed software.  Once SCCM is successfully installed, an icon will appear on your Windows desktop labeled “UNB Software Center”.
 
The initial software available for download can be accessed by clicking this icon and selecting the software you wish to install. ITS will continue to add to the list of available software as well as expand support into the Mac environment over the coming year.

RESOLVED - UNB email blocked by some email providers
Unscheduled Outage

Email
All UNB Campuses

UNB is now removed from a major spam blocking list as a result of immediate action taken by ITS to implement new UNB email safeguards and practices.
 
Although UNB has been removed and UNB emails are being successfully delivered once again, unfortunately this action will not resolve all on-going SPAM issues with UNB email. For example, Gmail continues to mark some UNB emails as SPAM and delivers them directly to a ‘Trash’ folder.  ITS is actively investigating and implementing additional options to further reduce UNB's risk of being blocked again.
 
 

Due to a recent and successful phishing attack – which resulted in a large number of SPAM emails sent from a UNB email account – UNB has been blocked by some email providers. Consequently, some faculty, staff and students may have issues sending email to certain email addresses (domains).
 
ITS is currently investigating the issue to determine which providers have blocked UNB emails; details will be communicated as they become available.
 
In the meantime, if you’re sending an email of importance, be aware that not all undelivered emails will send you a bounce-back or undelivered notification. To ensure your email has been successfully delivered to the intended recipient, please contact them to confirm delivery until the issue has been resolved.

If you have question or concerns please contact the ITS Help Desk at:  helpdesk@unb.ca or 453-5199

Recently Windows pushed out an update which causes Windows computers running Kaspersky Antivirus to run a scan disk each time you restart your computer.  Your computer will continue to function as normal once the scan has been cancelled or completed.
 
Until the issue is resolved, it is perfectly safe for you to cancel this scan and proceed to log in to your machine. If you miss the cancel option as it only appears at the beginning of the scan, it may take 5 – 10 minutes to complete.
 
ITS is investigating the issue and will communicate a solution as soon as it becomes available.

RESCHEDULED: NEW METHOD FOR CONNECTING TO WIRELESS@UNB

Due to an unexpected national network outage impacting UNB and other Atlantic Universities this morning, ITS was required to delay the scheduled upgrade for connecting to wireless@UNB to this afternoon from 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

During this 30-minute outage, wireless access will be sporadic. Please review the original notice below for new connection details.

If you have any questions please contact the ITS Help Desk at helpdesk@unb.ca or 453-5199.

--ORIGINAL NOTICE--

NEW METHOD FOR CONNECTING TO WIRELESS@UNB

Did you receive a new laptop, smartphone or tablet over the holidays?

Effective Friday, Jan. 4, a new method for connecting to Wireless@UNB will make it easier than ever to access UNB’s wireless network from your laptop or mobile device.

With the same high level of security, this new method not only allows BlackBerry and Windows 8 devices to access Wireless@UNB for the first time but also makes connecting from a Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch even easier.

To set up your device to connect to wireless using the new method, follow the instructions available at http://www.unb.ca/its/setup-wireless/index.html .

Devices previously setup to connect to Wireless@UNB will not be affected by this change and should not experience any interruption to their wireless service.

UNB students, faculty and staff are regularly targeted by fraudulent emails asking for UNB usernames and passwords.


Typically, these emails request users to go to a website to enter in their username and password. In some cases these websites are hosted by Google Docs or other non-UNB websites.

The criminal groups and organizations behind these attacks are trying to gain access to UNB email accounts so they can use them to send out SPAM emails. They may also be trying to harvest personal information for sale or for use in identity theft.

On Thursday, September 13 an email was sent to UNB faculty, staff and students claiming that their webmail accounts had been compromised by a virus. This email included the UNB logo and a photo of UNB president Eddy Campbell.

If you responded to this email, please go to you eServices and change your password, then contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca to let them know.

On Sunday, April 29 from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. (4 hours), several IT services will be unavailable during a planned power outage in Head Hall. This outage will allow Facilities Management to install a new generator that will power the ITS data centre in the event of a prolonged power outage. As a result, the following IT services will be unavailable during this time:

 

- myUNB Portal

- Webmail

- student connectEd email

- library services requiring authentication (login)

- Datatel

- WebAdvisor

- CMS

- eServices

- Desire2Learn

- Blackboard

- Footprints

 

Due to the complexity and breadth of the work being done and to minimize the inconvenience to faculty, staff and students we have spread the installation work over three separate outages. The other targeted outage dates that will also impact IT services are Sunday, May 6 and Sunday, May 13 from 6 a.m. - 4 p.m. More information about these outage times will be communicated once details have been finalized.


If you have and questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .

ITS is Simplifying and Improving UNB's Wireless Service
Scheduled Outage
Resolved
Aug 31, 2011 09:15 AM - Sep 07, 2011 09:15 AM
Network
All UNB Campuses

As of August 31, UNB's wireless service will be more secure for all users and, for those connecting with an Apple product, things will get a whole lot easier.

With the updates ITS is performing, UNB's wireless network will not only be more secure for all devices, it will also become easier for Apple devices to connect to the wireless network. Once the updates are complete, Apple devices (iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad) previously connected to UNB's wireless network may receive a pop-up on their screen asking them to accept a new security certificate from wireless.unb.ca. This source can be trusted and users must click `accept' to continue to connect to the network. New Apple devices as well as other new or existing devices connecting to UNB's wireless network will automatically use this new security update and will not require any additional steps.

For instructions on how to connect to UNB's wireless network on your laptop or mobile device, go to  http://www.unb.ca/its/setup-wireless/ .

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .

Please continue to contact the ITS Help Desk (helpdesk@unb.ca, 453-5199) if you are experiencing an issue with your special email account.

In the past few days several sponsored special email accounts have disappeared from the renewal list normally accessed through eServices > IT Services > IT Access Forms > Renewal of Special Email IDs. ITS is aware of the issue and are working on releasing a new renewal screen on which accounts will appear again. 

Please be assured that accounts have not expired and are still active. A grace period has been added so no accounts will expire until the transition to the new system is complete.

ITS is Simplifying and Improving UNB's Wireless Service
News

Network
All UNB Campuses


As of August 31, UNB's wireless service will be more secure for all users and, for those connecting with an Apple product, things will get a whole lot easier.

With the updates ITS is performing, UNB's wireless network will not only be more secure for all devices, it will also become easier for Apple devices to connect to the wireless network. Once the updates are complete, Apple devices (iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad) previously connected to UNB's wireless network may receive a pop-up on their screen asking them to accept a new security certificate from wireless.unb.ca. This source can be trusted and users must click `accept' to continue to connect to the network. New Apple devices as well as other new or existing devices connecting to UNB's wireless network will automatically use this new security update and will not require any additional steps.

For instructions on how to connect to UNB's wireless network on your laptop or mobile device, go to http://www.unb.ca/its/setup-wireless/ .

If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .

widget, and since myUNB is personalized by you, an ?Opt-Out 
Preferences? link has been added to make sure you only see the 
notifications you want.
