**** Notice to York Community **** Please Distribute Widely ****

Please be advised that as a result of a recent Microsoft vulnerability 
notice MS12-020[1], and in order to better secure the University's 
computing systems and data, York University's network will no longer allow 
insecure connections using Windows Remote Desktop, from outside York.

This change is expected to impact very few, but will affect those who are 
using Remote Desktop to access their office workstation from home, or 
other off-campus location. Where such remote access is required, UIT 
recommends the use of the SSLVPN service[2], which is intended to provide 
secure remote access to York computing resources.
