Currently, Microsoft is experiencing widespread intermittent access issues to both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Sites affecting both on and off-campus locations. Microsoft is aware of the issue and working on a resolution.
CaTS will notify you once these services have been restored.
Microsoft has made some recent changes to Wright State's Office 365 environment.

Course information, including descriptions and session times, can be found on the CaTS Training Workshops website. Register for a session today!
If you have questions about a certain session, or would like more information about the new technical training program, email cats-training@wright.edu.
CaTS is excited to announce the launch of our new Technical Training Program, coming May 2017! This program is designed to help Wright State faculty and staff enhance their computer skills, gain valuable new ones, and expand their productivity at work.
Results from the 2016 CaTS Customer Satisfaction Survey indicated a want for technical training services to be provided on a variety of topics. In order to best serve our customers' needs, CaTS was able to restructure existing Client Services staff to allow for the design and delivery of a variety of technical training sessions. The first phase of this program will feature courses covering Office 365 Outlook Web App, Outlook 2016, SharePoint Sites, OneDrive for Business, and Skype for Business. These courses are designed with your busy schedules and unique learning needs in mind.
Course information, including descriptions and session times, can be found on the CaTS Training Workshops website. Register for a session today!
If you have questions about a certain session, or would like more information about the new technical training program, email cats-training@wright.edu.
Due to the increasing demand for faculty and staff to transfer and share files to outside organizations, CaTS is activating the feature to share Microsoft OneDrive for Business files with users outside of Wright State.
This feature was not previously enabled due to security concerns. Though OneDrive for Business is considered secure cloud storage, compliance requirements covering sensitive data require the university to maintain access control over certain data types, and therefore cannot be stored outside of centrally managed storage and systems.
To clarify the acceptable use of OneDrive for Business the following policy guidelines apply:
Acceptable Data Types
Non-Acceptable Data Types
Sensitive data types should be stored on the Wright State network storage drives (H:, R:, and K: drives).
The University does not sanction personal Dropbox, Box, Google Drive, and other cloud storage solutions for the storing of official university data. Microsoft OneDrive for Business is the university’s recommended solution for cloud file storage.
Request for documents under ‘Sunshine Laws’, or in response to subpoena, require WSU to produce documents on demand; therefore cloud storage needs to be accessible to respond to such requests. Microsoft OneDrive for Business provides the eDiscovery tools needed to respond appropriately. In addition, state law requires data stored in the cloud be kept within the borders of the United States, which many cloud solutions do not.
CaTS is now offering OneDrive and file storage training through our Technical Training program. Register for a workshop today!

Currently, some services within Office 365 are not available through the online App Launcher (grid in the top left corner of your Outlook Web App email or online calendar). If you need to access these services (such as OneDrive, SharePoint Sites, etc.) you can do so at the following link:
https://raidermailwright-my.sharepoint.com
This link will take you in to your OneDrive account, and you can use the grid in the top left to access all of your Office 365 services. As this is not a Wright State specific issue, we are actively monitoring Microsoft’s system alert dashboard for updates.
We will notify the campus community when the issue has been resolved. For further questions, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827.
Beginning Sunday, January 29, your Wright State Office 365 email will become a part of our Single Sign-on (SSO) service. This change is planned for the 5:00 - 6:00 a.m. hour, so you may experience connectivity issues with your email during this time.
Once this change happens, a different log in screen will appear if you access your email through the outlook.wright.edu website. This new screen will be identical to the current WINGS log in screen. If you use other methods to access your email (WINGS, Outlook or Mac Mail clients, mobile phone apps), you will not notice a difference.
WHAT IS SSO?
The Single Sign-on (SSO) service makes it possible to log in to multiple Wright State online applications without re-entering your campus 'w' username and password each time. For more information about SSO, visit https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/services/single-sign-on.
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT ME?
After logging in to a Wright State site using SSO, you'll be able to access other SSO-enabled sites during the same browser session without logging in again. For email specifically, here's what you'll see:
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS:
CaTS has been working towards a full Single Sign-on service/system. As other services are transitioned, users will be able to sign into other online applications using one account. This allows for a smoother, simplified process when accessing different university services.
QUESTIONS:
For questions about Single Sign-on, contact the CaTS Help Desk at (937) 775-4827, or email helpdesk@wright.edu.
Since the implementation of Office 365, CaTS has added several new services to your Office 365 account – available to all students, faculty, and staff!
Learn more about each of these services at https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/services/office-365-overview.
CaTS is currently offering Office 365 ‘Ask Me Anything’ drop-in workshops. If you have questions about any of the new applications listed above, or any other existing Office 365 service, visit our
Workshops page for dates and times of these sessions:https://www.wright.edu/information-technology/training/workshops.
