The December holiday is almost here and especially this year, we’re all looking forward to escaping for a week or two. But before you leave, there are a few things you can do now to ensure that your return is seamless. Here are a few tips:\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Activate your\u00a0Out of Office<\/strong>\u00a0function<\/a> on your sun.ac.za Outlook mailbox and indicate in the message when you will be available again in case someone needs to contact you. Also, indicate who will be responsible during your time away and add their email address to your Out of Office.<\/li>\n
  2. Make sure that your relevant\u00a0work-related data<\/strong>\u00a0is accessible for usage by your colleagues while you are away. However, do NOT give your password to colleagues when as this poses a security risk.<\/li>\n
  3. If your sun password might expire during your holiday, rather change it before you go<\/strong>.<\/a> If it expires while you are away you will be locked out of your account and it will cause unnecessary stress to deactivate it in January.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. If you receive a phishing email on your sun account<\/strong> over the holiday and clicked on links or typed in your username and password, your account may be compromised. Immediately change your password at www.sun.ac.za\/password and log a service request on the ICT Partner Portal<\/a>. Your device will then be checked and scanned after the holiday. Remember that you can also report spam directly to Microsoft by using the handy Report Message function in Outlook<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Information Technology will also be closing,<\/strong> like the rest of the University, on 24 December and opening again on 3 January<\/strong>. If possible, please log your IT requests as soon as possible before you leave. If you have a critical problem, it might be difficult to assist you a day before you leave or on the last Friday since suppliers also close over the festive season.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    Die Desembervakansie is om die draai en na die afgelope jaar het ons almal `n week of twee weg nodig. Maar voordat jy gaan is daar `n paar takies wat jy nou al kan afhandel sodat jou terugkoms in Januarie pynloos is. Hier is `n paar wenke:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. Aktiveer die\u00a0Out of Office-funksie<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0op jou sun.ac.za Outlook-posbus en dui aan wanneer jy weer beskikbaar sal wees indien iemand jou moet kontak. Dui ook aan wie die verantwoordelike persoon sal wees gedurende die tydperk wat jy weg is en sit die persoon se e-posadres by op die Out of Office-boodskap.<\/li>\n
      2. Maak seker\u00a0dat enige werkverwante data<\/strong> toeganklik\u00a0is vir\u00a0jou kollegas terwyl jy weg is. Moet egter\u00a0onder geen omstandighede jou wagwoord vir\u00a0kollegas gee nie aangesien dit `n sekuriteitsrisiko skep.<\/li>\n
      3. Indien jou\u00a0sun-wagwoord\u00a0moontlik kan verval\u00a0gedurende die vakansie,\u00a0verander dit eerder\u00a0voordat jy weggaan.<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0As dit verval terwyl jy weg is, kan jy uit jou rekening gesluit word en dit onnodige stres veroorsaak wanneer jy dit moet heraktiveer in Januarie.\u00a0<\/li>\n
      4. Indien jy gedurende die vakansie \u2019n phishing<\/em> e-pos<\/strong> ontvang en op skakels gekliek het of jou gebruikersnaam en wagwoord erens suspisieus ingevul het, verander asb. dadelik jou wagwoord by www.sun.ac.za\/password. Teken ook \u2019n versoek aan op die ICT Partner Portal<\/a> sodat jou toestel nagegaan word na die vakansie. Onthou dat jy ook self spam kan aanmeld met Microsoft se Report message funksionaliteit in Outlook.<\/a><\/li>\n
      5. Informasietegnologie sluit, soos die res van die Universiteit op 24 Desember en maak weer 3 Januarie oop<\/strong>. Indien moontlik, probeer jou versoeke so vroeg as moontlik aanmeld voor jy weggaan.\u00a0 Indien jy `n kritiese probleem het, kan ons jou moontlik nie `n dag voor die tyd of op die laaste Vrydag help nie aangesien verskaffers ook sluit gedurende die feesseisoen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
