[RESOLVED] Starfish Advisor Calendars no longer syncing with Outlook Calendar
UPDATE:
Advisors and staff should now be able to sync their Outlook calendar availability with Starfish again.
The calendar sync functionality between Outlook and Starfish is currently not working for advisors/staff. This means the Starfish software will no longer be able to see your Outlook availability when creating your Starfish schedule. In the meantime, all future unavailable times will need to be added manually in Starfish itself.
This is currently being investigated and we will send an update once have more information.
Remote Desktop Connectivity Issues
We are receiving multiple reports of users unable to remotely connect (Remote Desktop) to computers on campus. We are currently investigating and will update once we have more information.

Current issues/fixes for changes to staff/faculty email authentication
OIT has received reports of Outlook and iOS native mail issues related to the multi-factor authentication changes that took place earlier this morning.
Below are some steps that should resolve the issues:
- Outlook constantly prompting for password – This should resolve with a complete close of outlook and restart. If issues persist, deleting outlook saved credentials and waiting a moment to restart outlook may help.
- iOS native mail prompting for password – If an iOS account was setup before iOS 11 or if the account was setup manually on 11 or later (rather than automatically), a user may receive a password prompt. Deleting and re-adding the account to iOS mail will resolve this.
If these steps did not resolve the issue and you need further assistance, please contact the FAU Help Desk 561.297.3999 or submit a help desk ticket.
[REMINDER] Duo Authentication for Faculty, Staff, and Health Email Tomorrow
As previously announced in the HR Weekly emails, FAU will be enabling Duo authentication on Faculty, Staff, and Health email accounts tomorrow. Users of the Faculty, Staff, and Health email systems will receive a new authentication prompt the first time they check their email after the overnight maintenance. This prompt will appear similar to other FAU NetID login prompts. The original communication is provided below:
The University is in the process of enhancing the security of University faculty/staff email accounts as part of our overall project to implement multi-factor authentication across University services. As of May 20, 2021, users will be asked to authenticate via Duo when connecting to their faculty/staff email accounts.
If you are already signed in on an email client or mobile device, you may be asked to authenticate again using Duo. The prompt for Duo will look like prompts for other University services, and there will be green buttons for various options as usual. While you may be asked for Duo authentication every time you access your email via Outlook Web Access, mobile phone clients and desktop Outlook clients should not prompt you in the future unless an extended period has elapsed since the last authentication.
