Connecting to Windows Remote Desktop on the next Zengaku computer system is different from the current system.
The important points are as follows
* To connect to the remote desktop, use VMware Horizon Client or access the specified URL in an HTML5-capable browser.
You cannot connect (via Remote Desktop Protocol, RDP) using the Windows Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe) and Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac.
The following work will be performed to update the University of Tsukuba’s SINET connection lines.
During the connection change work, communication with off-campus and communication between Tsukuba Campus, Tokyo Campus, and related facilities will be temporarily disconnected.
Date and Time： Sunday, March 26, 2023, 9:00 – 11:00
Please see the following notice for details.
Renewal of off-campus connection and Tokyo Campus connection lines for the Backbone Network (2023/3/26)
The Zengaku Computer System will be updated at the end of the FY 2022.
Along with this, there is a change in the email system.
Details will be announced around February 2023.
We will inform you of a brief outline of the plan at this moment.
The mail system will be migrated to the M365 (Microsoft) environment.
The mailboxes will be migrated by the Academic Computing and Communications Center.
If you are using webmail (Active! mail), Active! mail will no longer be available.
Microsoft webmail will be provided.
If you are using email software (Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.), you will need to change your settings.
The ID and password will be the same as for Microsoft Teams.
The procedure is the same as “Faculty and staff (including professor emeritus) using @u.tsukuba.ac.jp”.
After the system is updated, the email address of a student will be @u. The currently using @s address will continue to work.
(Only @u will be available for students enrolling after FY 2023) After the system is updated, announcements from the university will be delivered to @u.
@s and @u are completely different systems.
Those who use Zengaku Computer System, please read notification (within the university network only) carefully as follows.
