After IT upgrades the Meeting Maker server on Monday evening, September 22nd, you will need to upgrade your Meeting Maker client in order to access your calendar. When you open Meeting Maker after the server upgrade, you will be informed that your current client is incompatible with the server but an upgrade is available and ask if you wish to install it. Clicking Yes will begin the process to do so.

However, this process can take 30 minutes or longer. So, as a second option, you can manually download and install the new client.

Please completely read the instructions before beginning the installation process.

If you have questions or need assistance, please call the Information Technology Help Desk at x7225.
