The cloning of Banner DEVL is complete and now available for all to access.

OIT has placed departmental and special share drives fully online with the exception of N: drive which will remain read only until further notice. OIT has rebuilt the majority of systems infected with the Vobfus/ChangeUp virus, and several systems have been disabled from accessing FAU network until staff members have the opportunity to get these systems rebuilt and placed back online. We anticipate a small number of systems might still be infected with this virus, since not all systems connect to FAU network on a regular basis. If any such system is identified in your area, please turn off the system and contact FAU Helpdesk to take corrective actions.

We appreciate everyone’s patient and understanding in this matter, and do apologize for the delay in making these shares read/write. This was necessary to contain this virus the most effective way.

Thank you
