The Computer Services Centre (CSC) and the Information Technology Service Unit (ITSU) will be merged and renamed as the Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC) effective from July 1 2000. The new name has been approved by the Administrative and Planning Committee (AAPC) of the University.

In spite of the name change, your computer accounts and passwords obtained from CSC will remain unchanged. However, there will be changes to addresses of and details on our web pages, server names, and other documents to reflect the merger.

In order to minimize the impact of the name changes on you, we have set up aliases for all our hostnames, domain names and URLs so that you can still use the old name, i.e. csc.cuhk.edu.hk, to access our severs and web sites. However, we suggest you start using the new name, i.e. itsc.cuhk.edu.hk, from July 1 2000.

Please be assured that our services and commitment to service will remain unchanged after the renaming.

Notes to 'Logic', 'Theory', 'Orient' and 'Origin' Users

If you are using the e-mail function on 'Logic', 'Theory', 'Orient' or 'Origin' for communication, there should be no impact on receiving e-mail on them as we have set up asoociated aliases machine-name.csc.cuhk.edu.hk that points to the domain machine-name.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk . However, on sending e-mail to others, your e-mail address will be changed to your-computing-id@machine-name.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk . That is,

Old E-mail Address	New E-mail Address Effectve from July 1 2000
your-computing-id@logic.csc.cuhk.edu.hk	your-computing-id@logic.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk
your-computing-id@orient.csc.cuhk.edu.hk	your-computing-id@orient.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk
your-computing-id@origin.csc.cuhk.edu.hk	your-computing-id@origin.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk
your-computing-id@theory.csc.cuhk.edu.hk	your-computing-id@theory.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk

In addition, if you are a 'Logic' user and have previoulsy developed programs (using language compilers or Perl CGI) which include the domain name "logic.csc.cuhk.edu.hk", you are highly recommended to change it to the new name "logic.itsc.cuhk.edu.hk" and recompile your program.
