Update your Operating System and/or Web Browser If You Get "Certificate Error" or "Connection is not private" errors

If you get a certificate error or connection is not private error message when trying to access a campus service like Blackboard, your device's operating system and/or browser is out of date. You need to upgrade your operating system (OS) and/or web browser.

Blackboard Server Migration

In order to accommodate the increased load on our Blackboard servers with classes moving to online delivery, DoIT is in the process of migrating all Blackboard content to new servers with increased capacity, and as a result, Blackboard will be offline for approximately 24 hours starting at 9:00PM on Monday, March 23rd.

Stony Brook's Blackboard system has been updated ...What's new?

Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Firewall Change 5/28/2019

Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) service is commonly used to connect to a Windows computer remotely. Microsoft has identified a critical vulnerability in RDP that allows a computer to be infected with a worm that can spread from one computer to another. No username and password is required to exploit this bug, making it especially dangerous. As it stands today, our campus firewall permits RDP access directly from the internet, which leaves us at risk for the inevitable RDP worm that will follow shortly. So, we must make a change to better protect our computing resources.

Thank You, Seniors and Graduates!

SBU DoIT would like to say thank all of its student employees who will be graduating on  May 22, 2020. We appreciate your efforts in supporting the activities of Stony Brook's Division of Information Technology and wish each of you well in your future endeavors.
