Actions Departments Need to Take

1. Departments can work with their IT support staff to inventory the printers and specialized devices that may be impacted.
2. Once the maintenance is complete:
   • Computers and printers may need to be restarted.
   • IT support teams may need to check, reconnect impacted devices, and re-establish connections to certain printers.
3. Departments can report issues related to this maintenance to their IT support or to the IT Service Desk at it@umass.edu or 413-545-9400.

Thank you for your patience as we implement new security controls intended to increase the resilience of our IT infrastructure and strengthen protections for the campus technology environment.
