Campus Dell Power Settings Change

On Tuesday, August 1st at 8:00 AM ITSS will be deploying new settings to campus Dell desktop computers. These new settings will be enabling a feature called “Auto On”, which will be set to automatically power on computers every Wednesday at 2:00 AM. This feature will ensure computers that are turned off get necessary security patches and updates, as well as the latest virus definitions. Users will not need to do anything for this to take effect, it runs silently and does not require a restart.

We will exclude labs, laptops & servers, as they have different power and scheduling needs.

If you have questions or concerns, please submit a request at support.csuchico.edu or contact IT Support Services.
