Following is information about the status of known university-wide OS X 10.10 Yosemite issues at Indiana University.

Application	Issue description	Workaround
IU Secure	Some people have reported difficulties staying connected to IU Secure.	Upgrade to the latest version of Yosemite.
DHCP registration	You may experience long delays or timeouts when registering to DHCP.	If you have Firefox or Chrome, register to DHCP with one of those instead of Safari.
Reinstalling or recovering Yosemite	To reinstall or recover Yosemite, you must have an active Internet connection.	If you are on campus at IU, UITS recommends using the wired Ethernet network instead of wireless. However, if IU Secure is your only option, see Connect to an IU wireless network in macOS if booted from your Recovery HD Once you have Yosemite installed, you can use IU Secure normally (e.g., for installation of software updates).
ADS-joined Macs won't boot after a power outage	ADS-joined Macs that shut down due to a power outage may not be able to complete the startup process once power is restored.	Start the computer from the recovery partition and choose the option to reinstall Yosemite.
Microsoft Lync 2011	After upgrading to Yosemite, Microsoft Lync 2011 14.0.9 may be unable to stay connected.	Upgrade to at least Lync 14.0.10.
Citrix Receiver	Citrix Receiver doesn't launch properly.	Make sure you have the latest supported version installed and properly configured; see Set up and use IUanyWare
Symantec Encryption Desktop (formerly PGP)	Older versions of Symantec Encryption Desktop are not compatible with Yosemite.	Upgrade to at least version 10.3.2 MP8.
Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection	SCEP will report a failure during installation on Yosemite.	Even though the installation reports a failure, it may function anyway. If SCEP is installed before upgrading to Yosemite, it may also continue functioning.
Symantec Endpoint Protection	Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.4 and earlier are not compatible with Yosemite.	Update to at least Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.5, but see Recommended antivirus software at IU.
Boot Camp	Boot Camp no longer offers driver support for Windows Vista.	Install Windows 7 or later.
PowerPC applications	PowerPC applications do not run in OS X 10.10. IU no longer distributes any PowerPC applications, but some users may still have older versions of software installed on their system (e.g., versions of Microsoft Office older than 2008); these will no longer work.
