You might want to try the new web interface.
****************************************************************
Good morning,
Just a heads up that Innovative released a web based Sierra that is equivalent to what the java client is. The web interface can be accessed from a web browser via VPN if off the campus. Using the same login for Sierra java client.
To access it, go to
http://magic.msu.edu/sierra/sierraweb
We are still working on a plan to test and make sure if all is working as its java client counterpart. But I want to give you a heads up that we may have an alternative to the java client finally, as the web interface uses ajax but not
java applets.
Stay tuned.

Subject: [MSUNAG] office 2016 and macos sierra - people still having issues?
I'm just kinda curious whether everyone else that has users running Sierra on a Mac is still having problems with Office 2016 not working for them? So far, as far as I can tell the combination still seems to be something of a mess, and
I'm just shocked that between MS and Apple they haven't managed to get this working adequately.
For us, it seems that if the Mac was running Sierra before office was installed, what we end up with afterwards is typically at least some of the office programs crashing immediately after you try starting them. I've tried updating everything
to the latest patches, and even tried the fast-track updates for office since I've seen that suggested by a number of people, and pretty consistently have no luck getting it to function properly.
Oddly, if office 2016 was installed before the mac upgraded to Sierrra, we seem to have more luck with that. I've got a couple of people where that happened, and Office 2016 seems to work ok for them.
