We've had many requests for updates to a couple of our core applications, Firefox and iTunes. Normally, we try to do this when school is out (like during the summer) to avoid disruptions, but since our current Firefox version is having difficulties displaying Infinite Campus pages and the newest Apple OS needs a new iTunes version, we will try to push these out this afternoon (10/26) through tomorrow morning.
What we need from all of you is to NOT shut down any computers today. Close all of your programs and log off, but leave the computers powered on. I have set the applications to start installing automatically beginning at 4:30 p.m. It's actually a random schedule using a 3-hour window no earlier than 4:30, so your computer may start right away, it may wait for several hours. Either way, when the install happens, the computers will automatically reboot without warning and should also shutdown via our policy at 9:00 p.m.
If a computer does not get updated tonight, it will likely happen the next time someone starts it and will also reboot without warning. If this happens to you once in the next day or two, assume that is what is happening. If you continue to have unexpected restarts or either of the applications stop working, then report that to us via the helpdesk.
Thanks from technology!
