[auton-users] Re: VPN Upgrade 9 PM

[Michael J. Baysek]

All,

The new software has been running on the server side for some time now, 
and seems to be running well.  If, for some reason, you do encounter 
problems in the morning, I am in NSH 3123, and I will be in by 9:00 am 
to help you work through them. However, nobody should notice any 
difference [from what you are used to] in the morning. 

Before the end of the week I will need to visit each of your machines to 
make a few configuration changes to take advantage of the new software.  
Most of this could be done remotely, but I prefer to do this in person.  
This will also help me complete my list of information about your 
systems so I can be properly equipped to support them.  Plus, it will 
give me a chance to meet those of you whom I have not yet met one-on-one.

Thank you for your patience during the upgrade.
