HealthIT Highlights
Outlook Email Online Archiving
UCF IT is working to decrease email storage in your Outlook mailbox and will be enabling online email archiving starting on Thursday, December 12th so that older messages won’t occupy space in your primary mailbox.
What you need to know:
Once this policy is enabled, the following changes will apply to your UCF mailbox:
• Emails newer than 2 years are available in your main folders.
• Emails older than 2 years are stored in the Archive folders.
Archived emails are searchable just like regular emails. UCF IT has created a knowledge article with instructions on access email archives once enabled for your account.
Firefox removal from standard installation
What is happening?
This message is to notify you that the web browser application, Mozilla Firefox, is being removed from our standard installation on computers across the College of Medicine, Burnett School, and UCF Health. On 10/14/2024, we will initiate an automated process to remove old versions (prior to v130) of the software from all computers unless we receive a response from you for continued use on your system.
Why is this occurring?
Older Mozilla Firefox has significant vulnerabilities that can be exploited. This poses significant security risks to the local computer and our environment, allowing bad actors to gain access to our network and resources.
Student Secure Printing
HealthIT is implementing Secure Printing at the College of Medicine for all students starting July 22nd, 2024.
Secure Printing allows all print jobs to be stored in single secure print queue, which can be released on any designated printers. To maintain document confidentiality, users must authenticate at the Canon Printer using your UCF ID card or NID credentials at the time of release.
As we near implementation, instructions will be distributed on setting up and using the new secure print system.
