VC rooms can now join Lync/Skype for Business online meetings
Video Conference (VC) rooms can now join Lync/Skype for Business meetings. We ask for the decision-makers of VC rooms (rooms not managed by ITS) to consider registering their video conferencing endpoints with the Lync/Skype for Business solution, so that staff can easily join Lync/Skype for Business meetings from those rooms. Registering your VC room will not impact current room-to-room video conferencing or Zoom online meetings. Read more >

Important notice for SMS users on Mac
As there is no SMS client available for Apple devices, SMS must be accessed via a remote connection. Two platforms have been available for this purpose: Citrix for SMS and more recently its replacement, Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS). All Mac users will need to use the RDS platform going forward, as the Citrix for SMS environment is going to be decommissioned on 16 June 2016. This change does not affect Windows users.

Nuisance calls - don't be afraid to hang up
Nuisance calls are difficult to prevent because the callers use a variety of methods to avoid detection. If you receive a call from someone whose identity you don’t trust, hang up the phone. Discuss any offensive or threatening calls with your Manager. For more information about unwanted, malicious or nuisance calls, visit the ITS website.
