Besøg af rektor den 8. oktober

Brian Bech Nielsen kommer på den årlige besøgsrunde, hvor han møder medarbejdere for at drøfte universitetets udvikling og udveksle visioner og problemer. På møderne er der sat god tid af til medarbejdernes kommentarer og spørgsmål.

Mødet finder sted på IFA den 8. oktober kl. 11.30-13.00 i Fys. Aud. og alle medarbejdere er indbudt.

Nye rejseregler

AU har besluttet, at rejsepolitikken ændres, således at brugen af rejsebureau gøres frivillig. Man kan således stadig vælge at bruge CWT.

Det er naturligvis som hidtil vigtigt at alle regler overholdes med hensyn til at man altid skal vælge billigst mulige rejse (og ellers kunne begrunde, hvorfor man evt. har valgt en løsning, der ikke er den billigste).

Herudover er det vigtigt, at alle medarbejdere holder sekretær og gruppe orienteret om rejseplaner, ligesom vi henstiller til alle at det indføres i kalenderen. Det er udelukkende af hensyn til force majeure (terrorhandlinger, jordskælv og andet), der kan medføre, at Universitetet skal oplyse overfor myndighederne, om vi har medarbejdere på berørte destinationer.

Det er også muligt at registrere sig på Danskerlisten (Udenrigsministeriet)

Strøm- og it-systemerne serviceres 5. og 6. september

Cirka én gang i kvartalet samler vi de optimerings- og vedligeholdelsesopgaver, som kræver, at it-systemerne tages ud af drift. Sådan et "servicevindue" har vi planlagt den 5. og 6. september, hvor en række af universitetets it-systemer vil være utilgængelige. Vi har i juni måned foretaget en omfattende høring blandt de faglige og administrative miljøer, og planen er nu fastlagt, så færrest mulige brugere generes.

Servicearbejdet vil i hovedtræk gennemføres fra lørdag kl. 18.00 til søndag kl. ca. 14.00.

Telefoni, AV-udstyr samt PC´er/MAC´er, uden behov for forbindelse til centrale it-systemer eller internet gennem AU, vil fungere normalt i hele weekenden.

F.eks. kan man arbejde hjemmefra eller fra sin arbejdsplads med filer lokalt på computeren. Og man vil kunne anvende lokalt AV-udstyr til undervisning m.v., dog uden adgang til centrale systemer. Lidt mere detaljeret ser planen for servicevinduet således ud:

Lørdag 5. september
Frem til kl. 18.00 vil ALLE studierelaterede og administrative systemer fungere normalt. Fra kl. 18.00 til ca. kl. 14.00 søndag 6. september vil ALLE studierelaterede og administrative systemer være ude af drift, da internetforbindelse flyttes, og mange systemer opdateres. I denne periode vil telefoni fungere normalt, det samme gælder AV-udstyr samt PC´er/MAC´er. Det kræver dog, at det kan ske uden behov for forbindelse til AU´s centrale it-systemer eller internet gennem AU.

Søndag 6. september
Fra lørdag 5. september kl. 18.00 til søndag ca. kl. 14.00 vil ALLE studierelaterede og administrative systemer være ude af drift. S-bygningen på Fuglesangs Allé, vil være uden strøm, elevator, adgang vha. nøglekort, netværk og telefoni (IP) fra kl. 07.00 – 10.00. Telefoni vil fungere normalt, det samme gælder AV-udstyr samt PC´er/MAC´er. Det kræver dog, at det kan ske uden behov for forbindelse til AU´s centrale it-systemer eller internet gennem AU.

Senest kl. 14.00 (ca.) vil strøm og it-systemerne på AU være optimeret, retableret og igen fungere som normalt.

Fredag 4. september kan man se den detaljerede plan for servicevinduet, gennemførelse og status for services her: http://driftstatus.au.dk/Servicewindow/Details/4

Vi ønsker med denne mail at orientere om servicevinduet så tidligt som muligt. Hvis man har planlagt at arbejde den pågældende lørdag, opfordrer vi til, at man kopierer relevant materiale ud på sin computer, så det er muligt at arbejde ’lokalt’. Udover denne mail bliver servicevinduet kommunikeret via følgende kanaler:

Cirka tre uger før servicevinduet – Meddelelse på medarbejdere.au.dk, studerende.au.dk samt i administrationens og hovedområdernes nyhedsbreve
Cirka tre uger før servicevinduet – Meddelelse på driftstatus.au.dk
Cirka to uger før servicevinduet – Meddelelse i diverse berørte it-systemer
En uge før servicevinduet – Infomail til alle medarbejdere
Der fremstilles og udleveres ca. 5.000 flyers til de nye studerende, hvor forholdene for Servicevinduet beskrives
2-3 dage før servicevinduet – Info via AU’s Facebook-side og Twitter-konto

Eventuelle spørgsmål til det planlagte servicevindue kan rettes til driftstatus.it@au.dk

IFA News, week 35

Visit by the rector on 8 October 2015

Brian Bech Nielsen will make his annual visits to the university’s various units, where he will meet employees to discuss the development of the university and to exchange visions and problems. There will be time for comments and asking the rector questions.

The visit to IFA will take place on 8 October at 11:30-13:00 in the Physics Auditorium. All employees are invited.

Revised AU Travel Policy

AU has decided to change its travel policy and allow employees to book their flight directly with the airlines. It is still possible to use AU's travel agency Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT).

As always it is important to observe all rules and guidelines with regard to choosing the cheapest possible travel solution.

It is a group leader's responsibility to always be informed of his/her group members' travel activities. This alone with regard to force majeure situations (acts of terror, earthquakes etc.) where relevant authorities must be informed.

It is also possible to register on the Danes Abroad List (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark)

Power and it system maintenance to take place on 5 and 6 September

Approximately once a quarter we schedule all optimisation and maintenance tasks that require IT systems and other systems to be taken out of operation. We have scheduled such a service window for 5 and 6 September 2015, during which time it will not be possible to access the university's IT systems. In June, we consulted both academic and administrative users regarding the scheduling of the service window, and the schedule that has been adopted has been designed to inconvenience the fewest possible users.

Therefore, most of the work will be performed between Saturday 5 September at 18:00 to Sunday 6 September at approximately 14:00.

However, as with previous service windows, telephony, AV equipment as well as PCs/Macs that do not require a connection to central IT systems or AU’s internet service will function normally throughout the entire weekend.

This means that staff will be able to work from home or at an AU workstation on files saved to their pc/tablet. And it will be possible to use AV equipment for teaching or presentations that do not require access to AU’s systems.

Here is a more detailed service window schedule:

Saturday 5 September

Until 18:00 ALL educational and administrative systems will function normally. From 18.00 to approx. 14.00 on Sunday 6 September, ALL educational and administrative systems will be out of operation while the internet connection is moved and many systems are updated. In this period, telephony will function normally, as will AV equipment, pc’s and Macs. However, functions requiring a connection to AU’s central IT systems will be unavailable.

Sunday 6 September

From Saturday 5 September at 18.00 to Sunday at approximately 14:00 , ALL educational and administrative systems will be out of operation. The S building at Fuglesangs Allé will be without power, lift, key card access, networks or IP telephony from 7:00 to 10:00. In this period, telephony will function normally, as will AV equipment, pc’s and Macs. However, functions requiring a connection to AU’s central IT systems will be unavailable.

By approximately 14:00, power and IT systems at AU will have been optimised, re-established and functioning normally again.

From Friday 4 September, a detailed schedule for the service window as well as updates on completion status will be available here: http://driftstatus.au.dk/Servicewindow/Details/4

This email is intended to provide information about the service window as early as possible. We encourage all employees who are planning to work on Saturday 5 September to copy all relevant content to their own pc in order to be able to work offline. Information about the service window will be communicated via the following channels in addition to this email:

About three weeks before the service window: Notices on medarbejdere.au.dk, studerende.au.dk and in the newsletters for the central administration and the faculties
About three weeks before the service window: Notice on driftstatus.au.dk
Approximately two weeks before the service window: Notice on various affected IT systems
A week before the service window: Mail to all employees
About 5,000 flyers will be produced and handed out to new students informing them about the service window
2-3 days before the service window: Information on AU's Facebook page and Twitter account

If you have any questions about the planned service window, please send a mail to driftstatus.it@au.dk

Sincerely

AU IT and Digital Media
