New Hire Request 2023

Many of the services require that a UCInetID be established for the new employee which requires them be in the payroll system. Once in the payroll system, they can activate the UCInetID by visiting the web site https://activate.uci.edu/

Please fill out the form below and specify which services should be made available to the new employee.  If the UCInetID is not yet established, please let us know as soon as it's activated so we can finish with the requested access.

Windows 7 support by Microsoft ended as of January of 2020

Windows 7Windows 7 support by Microsoft has now ended as of January of 2020. Microsoft will no longer provide security updates or support PCs running Windows 7. This puts most of the Social Ecology computers at risk.
 
We have created an upgrade program for current Windows 7 computers. Unfortunately, through our testing with common Social Ecology programs, some computers may not run well enough to qualify.  Below we have listed the minimum requirements that are needed to have a fully functional Windows 10 computer.

Critical vulnerability in older Windows systems

Windows 7You may have received a UCI ZotMail about a flaw that has been discovered in Windows Remote Desktop Services on older Windows machines. Please update your Windows 7 system as soon as possible.

This vulnerability does not require any kind of login, so it can spread very quickly among campus systems. It is vital that anyone on campus using an earlier version of Windows apply the patch as soon as possible.
