[ISG News] Web server upgrade on Jan 19
by Christian Herzog 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Web server upgrade on Jan 19' On Thursday, January 19, starting at 08:00, we will OS upgrade the main D-PHYS web server. All websites hosted on zwoelfi*.ethz.ch will be down for several hours and will gradually come back as we progress. This does not affect the department website, the institutes and many of the group websites. However our groupware, the wikis and many special interest sites will be inaccessible. Note that if you're using the ActiveSync connector via groupware to sync email to your cell phone or Outlook, this won't work either. Temporarily use webmail while we bring back groupware as one of the first services. We will post an update once the web server is back.

[ISG News] Access to Windows Remote Desktop blocked from outside ETH

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Access to Windows Remote Desktop blocked from outside ETH' In the last few weeks we discovered some attempted attacks on the Windows Remote Desktop feature from sources outside of ETH. In order to protect both your machines and our network, we decided to block RDP access from ETH-external networks. If you still need access from outside the ETH network (e.g. from home) you have to first open a VPN connection to ETH and then start the Remote Desktop client. More information about installing the VPN client is available here.
