    Email security gateway migration for ITS and Psychology mail domains

    Resolved
    The psy.uq.edu.au and its.uq.edu.au UQ mail domains will have their email security gateway configuration changed, such that they no longer utilise the Mimecast platform for inbound email filtering.

    No impact to service is expected. Inbound email will still be filtered for phishing, malware and spam through the alternate email security gateway, which continues to be used by the rest of UQ.

    Upgrade of Domain Controller SYSVOL replication to DFSR (Distributed File System Replication)

    Resolved
    This request is for the upgrade of Domain Controller SYSVOL replication to DFSR (Distributed File System Replication)

    Windows server 2008 and later uses Distributed File System (DFS) for the replication of the SYSVOL folder between Domain Controllers.

    The UQ domain is currently using the File Replication Service (FRS) for SYSVOL replication, which is now deprecated.

    The DFS Replication service has many benefits over FRS: improved management tools, more robust, scalable and better replication performance than FRS.

    This is an essential upgrade as FRS is no longer supported on future versions of Windows Server.
