Windows XP will no longer be supported by Microsoft after
4/8/14. Consequently, all university-owned computers running Windows XP need to
be upgraded to Windows 7 or else retired from duty as they will not be allowed
on Pepperdine’s network after 4/8/14.
Thanks to all our Pepperdine colleagues who have been upgrading or surplusing their Windows
XP computers. There are only 273
computers at Pepperdine still running XP.
Of those, 173 need to be upgraded to Windows 7 while 100 computers need
to be retired as they do not have the resources required to be upgraded. E-mails were sent on 12/19/13 to the owners of these computers (if they are able to be
determined) informing them of the Windows XP sunset program. If no definitive owner can be determined for
a given computer, then technology support personnel will visit the computer and
work with attendant staff in sunsetting XP.
