UNCLASSIFIED// ROUTINE R 262025Z FEB 19 FM CNO WASHINGTON DC TO NAVADMIN INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC BT UNCLAS NAVADMIN 045/19 PASS TO OFFICE CODES: FM CNO WASHINGTON DC//N2N6// INFO CNO WASHINGTON DC//N2N6// MSGID/GENADMIN/CNO WASHINGTON DC/N2N6/FEB// SUBJ/DEPLOYMENT OF WINDOWS 10 VERSION 1803 TO NMCI UPDATE 1// REF/A/GENADMIN/181636ZJAN19// NARR/REF A IS THE INITIAL NAVADMIN ADVISORY FOR DEPLOYMENT// POC/WIN10 COORDINATION CENTER/CIV/PMW-205/-/EMAIL: WIN10COORDINATIO.FCT(AT)NAVY.MIL/TEL: (202) 685-0471// RMKS/1. This NAVADMIN is the second in a series on the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) Secret Internet Protocol Routing Network (SIPRNet) and Non-Classified Internet Protocol Routing Network (NIPRNet) transition to Windows 10 (WIN10) version 1803 (v1803). It outlines current status and efforts being taken to resolve remaining challenges. This evolution was extensively coordinated with U.S. Fleet Cyber Command (FCC)/Commander, U.S. TENTH Fleet (C10F), the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS), and Echelon II Chief Information Officers (CIOs). Continued maximum effort is necessary by leadership at all commands to get the Navy to 100 percent WIN10 v1803 for all NMCI seats by 31 March 2019 in order to improve cyber security, promote standardization across the Naval Enterprise Network, and comply with Department of Defense mandates. 2. As of 24 February 2019, status for NIPRNet is at 31.3 percent and for SIPRNet is at 19.1 percent complete. Challenges being addressed : a. Green Shutdowns: A Green Shutdown is a means to ensure that large updates can successfully download during off-hours, minimizing impact to productivity. Nightly Green Shutdowns are the key to success as they enable gradual receipt of required pre-load packages and proper update installation. Those seats that conducted Green Shutdowns have experienced a WIN10 v1803 update success rate of over 99 percent. However, many seats still await Green Shutdown. CIOs and Contract Technical Representatives (CTRs) must be proactive in ensuring their command personnel expeditiously execute Green Shutdowns. Additionally, in order to assist CIOs and ensure compliance, FCC/C10F directed forced shutdowns commencing 14 February 2019. All machines not rebooted within a 7- day period will automatically restart. This is critical to seat readiness and there are no waivers to this requirement. Details on how to conduct Green Shutdowns are listed in para 3. b. Mandatory McAfee Security Modules and Reboots: These enable update of key security features to protect user workstations and data. WIN10 v1803 update requires multiple dependent McAfee security modules. Some users may require varying numbers of McAfee -related reboots. Users receiving prompts to reboot their workstations shall comply per NMCI User Awareness Bulletin. 3. Individual User Responsibilities a. End of Day Actions. All users shall restart their seats nightly selecting Green Shutdown. Users will need to execute a Green Shutdown by clicking the Windows logo from the desktop bar, selecting Shut down or Restart, and selecting Yes when prompted to perform a Green Shutdown. Please note that Green Shutdowns are usually quick when done regularly and time- consuming when not done as a best practice. Once each seat receives all required preload packages, the user will receive a notification that the WIN10 v1803 update is ready for installation. Users will then need to execute another Green Shutdown which will manage the reboot cycle necessary to complete the installation overnight. b. Protection of Personal Data. Users should back up any personal data on their seats by utilizing their personal H: drive or contacting their Information Technician support staff for alternate backup methods if data backup exceeds H: drive capacity. c. Network Connection. Users must ensure that individual machines are plugged in and physically connected to the NMCI network when scheduled for migration. WIN10 v1803 update cannot be completed via NMCI Enterprise WiFi or Remote Access Service connection. d. XPS Viewer. Microsoft has retired XPS Viewer and it is not supported in WIN10 v1803. Users are advised to check if they retain files in XPS format and convert to PDF before migration. e. Users in Restricted Access/Controlled Access Areas are recommended to preload seats by Digital Video Disk in accordance with instruction provided separate correspondence. 4. The NMCI Service Desk has established top-level end user support directly for WIN10 v1803 that can be accessed by dialing (866) 843 -6624 and selecting Option 3 from the option prompt. Users experiencing failed rollovers due to technical issues will be contacted by the service desk with required actions prior to the next attempted update. 5. Released by VADM Matthew J.
