Some Managed-Computer Mac Users Experiencing Connectivity Issues

September 10, 2024

Dear One IT Colleagues, 

Recently, after deploying Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) onto Berkeley Managed Desktops running macOS, a small percentage of users (~2%) reported experiencing “unstable network connectivity issues.” The primary issue has been intermittent frozen Zoom calls and loss of Drive connectivity.

We have implemented a temporary workaround to mitigate further disruption, so users should no longer be experiencing these issues. We are testing a permanent solution with users in Berkeley IT and will communicate and implement this fix once it is verified. As always, please report any service issues to itcsshelp@berkeley.edu

If you have any questions about the EDR project, please contact us at iso@berkeley.edu

Thank you for your patience and support while we work through this large-scale deployment.


Warm regards,

Allison Henry, Chief Information Security Officer
