F-Secure security updates begin on March 27, 2012 on staff computers.
The updates force a restart within two hours after the installation has finished.
If the installation has begun before you have logged on to the computer, you will
not see a restart message although the computer will restart.
Accordingly, you should save all your work when leaving the computer - especially
if the F-Secure icon is not visible in the Notification Area:
If the installation begins after you have logged on to the computer, it will ask you
to restart which you can do right away.
After the computer has restarted, it is in network quarantine untill the virus
definitions have been updated. During of the quarantine network drives are not
connected and the internet and the e-mail cannot be accessed.
The network quarantine lasts for about 5 to 15 minutes. If network drives
continue to be disconnected after this but the internet works, you should restart
the computer.
In case of problems you can contact Helpdesk phone service at 020 783 6969
or make a service request at http://hd.metropolia.fi or send e-mail to helpdesk@metropolia.fi.

The sound system of Agricola´s auditorium is out of order, so sound from microphones, computer or other sources won't come from the speakers.
There is now a temporary solution, instructions has been fixed on the table. The source of picture can be changed by selector in closet (instructions on table).
The auditorium equipment is scheduled for a total overhaul and replacement in a few months time. A planned quick repair during holidays was cancelled due to cost issues and the non-critical nature of the problem.
We are sorry for the inconvinience.
