All,
While the presence of Windows 10 Pro variants on campus is low, it’s not zero. With that said, the various non-Enterprise flavors of Windows 10 1809 are going End-of-Life *next week* on November 10, 2020 (1). This is already a 180-day extension from the original EOL date of May 12, 2020. According to Planisphere, there are a large handful of devices (~20 or so) “on campus” that are running some flavor of Windows 10 Pro 1809 that should be upgraded to a newer version of Windows 10 Pro (or, better yet, “uplifted” to Windows 10 Enterprise using our MAK) as soon as possible.
Please check the status of your supported devices in Planisphere, perhaps by using the **recently added “OS Unsupported Date” column** that, when set to “14 days”, will show you any OSes you have that will fall out of support in the next two weeks (along with those that are already unsupported).
– Go to https://planisphere.oit.duke.edu
– Select “Devices”, then select “Devices I Support” (if not already selected)
– Select “Columns”, then select “OS Unsupported Date”, then select “Apply Filters”
– Change the “OS Supported Date” column setting to “days”, then enter “14” in the box next to that, then select “Apply Filters” again
– Marvel at the wonders of technology!
As always, please let us know if you have any questions or issues by contacting oitde@duke.edu (or planisphere-feedback@duke.edu or endpoints-request@duke.edu), submitting a request to our ServiceNow “Device Engineering-OIT” queue, or by discussing it with all of us at endpoints@duke.edu, depending on the nature of the question/issue.
Thanks!
