Dear Colleagues

As notified, Duo Security authentication will be required for access to email offsite from 29th October.

While most staff have been using Duo since launch, for any staff with questions or support requirements, these should be raised onto the IT Helpdesk: https://helpdesk-01.sandwell.ac.uk

The access method will be in place offsite only, and will affect Web, Mobile and Outlook client access.

Thank You – Network Services

Dear Colleague

We are currently preparing for the imminent expanded roll-out of the Horizon system.

As part of this a new Horizon Client has been deployed to all compliant corporate desktops and laptops. Some device models will be forced to reboot once the install completes.

The new client has a refreshed interface, and prepares your device to take advantage of new features we have enabled on the system.

In the coming weeks departments will be contacted as we re-commence a replacement programme, upgrading your Desktop PCs to new Thin Client devices to offer a superior desktop experience.

Thank You – Network Services
