Please be reminded that the multiple-choice scanning and survey data collection service of the NCS Opscan 8/50 will cease soon. Originally the service was planned to cease by the end of Semester B 2008-09, but it is now extended to December 2009 (i.e. at the end of Semester A, 2009-10) to allow more time for our users to look for other alternatives. For queries on other alternatives, please feel free to contact the CSC Help Desk. How to Go Green: Double-sided Printing Double-sided (or 2-sided or duplex) printing should be used whenever possible. Besides the benefits of saving trees, reducing carbon in the atmosphere, and holding a handier set of hardcopies, surprisingly it can save up your print quota. With immediate effect, whenever you use duplex printing to print on a piece of paper through the Quota Controlled Fast Print Queue, your print quota will be deducted by 1.5 instead of 2. This is really a big saver! To use double-sided printing, when you print:
Using double-sided printing is a small change but can have a big impact. As going green is our common goal, act NOW to show your support! |

The anti-virus software (Mcafee) has been made available centrally for every PC on staff LAN. Users are regularly informed to update their anti-virus signature file (a file used by anti-virus software to detect the presence of any known viruses). However, for some reasons, almost everyday some staff PCs are still found to have contracted viruses. We believe the ever-presence of virus infection in some staff PC, is due to the following:
To ensure that our users will deploy the anti-virus software and keep the virus signature file up-to-date, we are planning to install the Mcafee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) on every PC on the Staff LAN starting this September. This ePO is a network anti-virus policy management program which can prevent a network infrastructure from contracting or spreading viruses by managing and enforcing the following policies from an anti-virus administrator server:
Each PC with an ePO agent installed will automatically keep its scan engine and/or virus signature file up-to-date, unless the ePO's agent has been removed or its download or update function is blocked by personal firewall (hence disabling its automatic update of virus signature file). However, the implementation of ePO can only minimise but not eliminate completely the existing problems we face. We still have to rely heavily on users' cooperation and commitment to make their as well as others' PCs virus free. |
