You can log into the network again
Short version: You can log in again and use your laptops and backups as per regular instructions.
Long version: Last Friday and Thursday I had reports of two laptops not booting any longer. On one this was related to Pointsec, the software used to encrypt the laptops, being automatically changed at login. The network was applying an update to the older version that is standard everywhere else at the WRHA, but our laptops require a newer version even than the update. When the second laptop went down the same day I was worried that there was a pattern and I wanted to stop the other laptops from becoming affected. It turns out the second laptop dying was just a coincidence, so there is no longer any need not to log on.
When I asked Trish to let everyone know not to log into the networks I didn't anticipate any questions, but there were lots. I think it has to do with all of us calling things slightly differently, and with the differences that exist in logging on at different sites. With "don't log onto the network" I meant: don't plug your laptop into the network. If you are wireless that is difficult, so I wasn't even going to address that and take the risk. When you turn on the laptop you still need to log on to the laptop to be able to do anything, I was only concerned about the network connection. You would still have been able to use Access. Also, you would still have been able to use the News-and-backup button - when it doesn't see a network it just backs up to the SD card. I hope this clears things up. Please let me know if there are further questions. Ttenbergen 10:34, 19 October 2010 (CDT)

As this wiki is growing (now at 7,165 entries), the easiest way to find information is to use the "search" bar on the left side.
If you can not find information you are looking for, it might not have been added yet. In that case, make a new entry and add it to the Category:Questions category. There are instructions at that link on how to do this. Collectors are encouraged to keep an eye on that category and to answer or further qualify.
