As you may be aware there are a small number of Windows 7 machines on Extended Support with Microsoft which for various reasons cannot be upgraded to Windows 10.

The version of Oracle Java on these machines is old and contains vulnerabilities. Java cannot be updated without incurring licencing costs. The Windows 7 machines are only supposed to be running specialist equipment – not providing a general service. Therefore it seems sensible to remove Java from these computers. Machines that act as clients to the Building Management System are excluded from this change.

From 7am on 17th September a script will be deployed to remove Java from Windows 7 machines.
