October Technology Quick Tips

I’ve noticed a new administrator on my network but don’t know who it is.

If you’ve checked around the business and no one has created the new administrator account, speak to your IT support partner immediately. This may be a sign that you have an intruder in your network waiting to launch an attack.

A really important document has disappeared from my network. Can I get it back?

Hopefully, you have a working daily or continuous backup in place? If so, it’s simply a case of retrieving a copy of your document. If you don’t have a backup, then it may be trickier. First, you may want to establish how the file has disappeared. A good IT support partner should be able to guide you through this (also, get them to sort out your backup).

Teams notifications are distracting me from my work. Can I stop them?

Yep, just turn them off! You can set your status to Do Not Disturb, which will stop anything bothering you. Alternatively, you can now make yourself invisible by appearing offline when you want to get your head down and work.
