In the fall, a printing problem was found to occur intermittently when printing from various applications such as Office, Adobe, and Winha.
The computer freezes after a printing attempt and applications stop responding. Delays of several minutes occur.
The problem has occurred in all Metropolia locations. It is being investigated and effort is taken to determine the cause.
Tube update on Thu. 20.9. didn't cover workspaces or notices. These will be updated on later date.
Metropolia has tendered contract suppliers to be retained in all essential IT product acquisitions. IT Services is responsible for the acquisitions, installation and maintenance.
Regardless of the underwriter an acquisition request has to be made at http://hd.metropolia.fi
Independently acquiring products covered by the contract can be considered a breach of contract that, in worst case, may lead to juridicial acts. In such cases the responsibility always lies with the individual who ordered the product in question.
Alternate suppliers may be discussed with the Data Administration acquisitions team as necessary.
We will update the Tube starting 7.00 a.m. on Thursday morning. The expected length is less than an hour.
The changes implemented are:
1. On the front page of every workspace a listing of the latest changes in this workpace will be displayed. This feature replaces the change-indicators on the tabs.
2. The three firts tabs of A toteutuksen workspace marked 'Open' will be readable to anyone signed in to the Tube.
3. The rector's important announcements will stand out.
Metropolia email has been used for a spamming purposes by using leaked password from user. Sent email may return to user because of blacklisted Metropolia email.
Problem has been fixed at friday 14th September, 2012 when this happened and normally it takes about from 3 to 7 days to get away from blacklist.
Phishing is a common experience for email users these days. Metropolia email users often receive requests for their network/email passwords, user IDs, and other private data. Some of these emails can be very convincing and appear to be from Metropolia ITS Staff.
However, you should know that ITS will never, ever request your password! Emails requesting your password or other personal data should simply be DELETED upon receipt.
Below are newest messages of phishing emails received here at Metropolia and should be deleted upon receipt.
