Dear Colleague
We will be implementing a software update to the college Cisco AnyConnect service this week which will result in a slightly adjusted login prompt.
Please see the updated prompt below:
For ‘Second Password’: users should type ‘Push’.

Dear Colleague
We are now offering free antivirus software for staff on their personal devices. This will help you secure home devices and potentially help you save on your personal antivirus costs.
If you would like this service, please submit a support request on the helpdesk asking for this, and the software will be made available for you.
Thank You – Network Services
Dear Colleague
Please be reminded to check out and use Horizon Virtual Desktops. Horizon will be replacing Cisco AnyConnect (VPN) in the medium term so we encourage you to begin your transition. The benefits of use also span into your on-site work as well as much improved performance and security.
The Horizon desktop application offers the best experience, and is already available on your college laptop, look for ‘VMware Horizon Client’ and the following icon:
The desktop app can also be installed and used from personal devices: download from here.
You can also access via the web on any device, available from the college apps page, website, or here, mobile apps are also available, search ‘VMware Horizon’ in your app store, and use the server address ‘horizon.sandwell.ac.uk’
Again you can request a dedicated machine via the helpdesk.
Thank You – Network Services
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to remind you of the opportunity to express your interest to join a new climate, environment and sustainability working group which could support the actions the College has, and can continue to take, to contribute to this vital area of work. If you are interested of being a part of this group, pleas email hr@sandwell.ac.uk or hr@cadbury.ac.uk .
Many thanks,
The HR Team
