Best practices

We recommend keeping your OS and software up to date. Some updates are required and have specific deadlines. As the deadline approaches, users receive constant notifications through pop-up nag windows. You may not be able to close the nag window once the deadline has passed.

Deferred updates may be initiated during the login or logout process, which may take a significant amount of time. If you urgently need your computer for a presentation or an upcoming meeting, for example, these updates can be quite disruptive to your work. Therefore, we recommend that you perform updates during off-peak hours (ie, before you leave your office or during lunch break) to increase the security of your computer and avoid disruption to your daily operations.

We need your cooperation so that you can focus on your work while the 丁香园AV/FENV IT staff focuses on maintenance.

• We recommend that you restart your computer everyday before leaving the office.
• Leave your Desktop computers on overnight. Important updates may happen overnight.
• Visit the Management Software Center (MACs) / Software Center (Windows PCs) regularly to check for necessary updates. Once you find the updates, update your computer at a time that works best for your schedule. The OS upgrade process may take up to an hour.
