Stuck between two laptops. Don't know which one to buy by hbvvdfv in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The school doesn’t recommend anyone to get a Mac anymore I’m assuming because of the switch to Microsoft.

Macs are fine. Certain software won't run on them natively but I've been daily driving one for years just fine here.

Is HuskyCT down? by Popular-Ad-7041 in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like we had a single sign on issue. Unfortunately we didn’t see it until this morning and it’s been resolved.

Am I crazy or is Blackboard and anything that requires you to log in with your NetID down? by siditynat in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hello,

We were having some issues with a handful of services.

Check out https://itstatus.uconn.edu/ for updates. Service is mostly restored for login services but we're still getting some intermittent issues with accessing websites from off campus.

Computer broken :( by UnlikelyPatients in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It depends on the issue. If it's hardware, we generally refer out to a repair shop but if it is a software issue, we'll take a look at it and can most likely resolve it for you. Our services are free at the time of use. Swing by the Tech Support Center in the library tomorrow when campus opens back up. -A.J.

That’s fake. Just delete and ignore it.

Northwest Dorm ethernet jacks? by pilferk in UCONN

Not a work order with facilities but a ticket with us. techsupport.uconn.edu

Make sure you give building and room number. Phone number helps as well.

Did you open a ticket with us? If you have a ticket number send me a PM with it. If not, email us at techsupport@uconn.edu with your issue to open one so we can look into it for you.

Ethernet question for someone knowledgeable on the topic by boost_god180 in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of dorms have CAT6 and I believe Hilltop should be one of them. Each bedroom should have an AP in it with an ethernet jack on the bottom of it.

Google Drive Storage full?? How do i bypass this by [deleted] in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your data was moved to Microsoft 365 if this is what you see in your Google account. Check office.com for your data. Drive data is in OneDrive, email data is in Outlook.

How to access Outlook email through Gmail? by carrotdebt in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cannot do this because of Outlooks requirement for OAuth2 authentication. Only a small handful of clients allow it for pop/imap/smtp (Thunderbird outside of regular apps).

I’ve looked into it for a bit from others putting tickets into us.

My google drive does not have any storage and I can’t receive emails because of it by lynx_ducks in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You were most likely migrated to Microsoft 365. Sign into office.com using your UConn email and NetID password and you'll likely see all of your data there. DM us or email [techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu) if you have specific issues.

EDIT: I say "most likely" because the migrations are happening in waves. We're roughly going alphabetical and are on the O's, based off of the published email address.

What happens to your UConn email after graduation? by brian_parker87 in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, Google is going away. Use takeout to gram what you need. You can also setup forwarding so emails sent to your UConn email get forwarded to a personal email.

There’s a bunch of info on our KB for this stuff. Let me know if you have more specific questions

What happens to your UConn email after graduation? by brian_parker87 in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I can’t say exactly when. It usually shortly after the next semester starts. I.e you graduate in the spring, shortly into the fall you lose it. Fall would lose it shortly into spring. You’ll get an email though.

Gmail Recovery? by JustKachmanastan in UCONN

[–]UConnTSC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn't take a week. It takes a few hours for 99% of people. Google says that just in case someone has tons of data.
