We send mail to all residents prior to move-in explaining CCA. This
allows them to get a head start on updating and sanitizing their PCs
prior to arrival. This year it also provided us the opportunity to say:
Please note that the beta version of Internet Explorer 7 is NOT
supported as the initial means of connecting to the campus network. IE7
WILL be supported when it is officially released. If you have IE7
installed, either uninstall it prior to connecting to the network for
the first time or use an alternate supported browser like Mozilla
Cheers,
Rand

The end of the month is not soon enough for us, how about by end of
next week?

Greetings-
We are finding about 15% of our returning students are returning with
ie7
betas-- the worst part is none of our science majors have returned
yet....
15% is a rather large number, can we expect any workarounds or anything
before the end of the month? We try hard not to regulate how someone can
browse the internet. Also, I think back to the days that I was a
student- I would have been one of those students returning with ie7---
it is a safer browser, even if it is in beta phase. I would rather force
students to Upgrade than to downgrade...
Let me know if there is anything we can do about this.
