End of 2011 reminders from IT at UD
Five reminders from IT as 2011 draws to a close.
SharePoint 2010 here; SharePoint 2007 to be disabled on Jan. 31
The existing UD SharePoint 2007 server will be taken down on Jan. 31, 2012. IT staff members are contacting everyone who owns a SharePoint 2007 site with more information.
Site owners will be asked to authorize one of three actions:
- Deleting SharePoint 2007 sites no longer in use.
- Archiving SharePoint 2007 sites no longer in use.
- Moving active SharePoint 2007 sites to SharePoint 2010.
If you own a UD SharePoint 2007 site and have not heard from an IT staff member by Jan. 6, 2012, contact the IT Support Center.
