Around the beginning of August 2014, all college-owned computers will be migrated from the old K1000 5.4 to the new K1000 version 5.5, possibly receiving a newer version of the Dell KACE Agent. For a few months, Windows computers on a KBOX patch schedule will receive application patches from a different, temporary, K1000 process, one based on Managed InstallationsKBOX scripts, not on KBOX patching. This does not affect computers running Mac OS X, only Windows.

What you see during patching will look different, and may work a bit differently than before, but it will run at exactly the same time as the patch schedule you subscribed to (the deploy step). The applications that will be included in this process are marked with § in the list below. ITS plans to have a better, permanent, solution in place by the end of the calendar year, if Dell KACE fixes some bugs.
