Beginning this weekend, all devices using Windows 7 or 8 operating systems or macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or lower will be blocked from accessing Drake networks. This change will occur at 9:00 p.m. Sunday, May 14.
Due to our security requirements, we need to ensure that non-vendor supported, older operating system versions are not accessing Drake networks. Once a vendor no longer supports security updates for an older operating system, we do not allow them on Drake networks in order to maintain campus technology wellbeing and prevent security risks.
If you have questions or concerns about the network change, please reach out to Jerome Hilscher, Assistant CITO and Director, Campus Relations at jerome.hilscher@drake.edu.If you have questions about your device or issues updating your operating system, visit service.drake.edu/its, call 515-271-3001, or visit the Support Center in the lower level of Carnegie Hall.
