We apologize for the prolonged inconvenience caused by the issues with Trend Micro Apex One for Mac (TMAOM).
We will resume distributing the Mac agent software on a trial basis.

As this does not resolve the issue completely, it may be necessary to temporarily stop the management server to carry out the required work.

The installation and usage process on a Mac remains the same as before.

From early February 2026, when creating a new group in Teams, SharePoint, or Outlook (Microsoft 365 Groups), “-group” will be automatically appended to the end of that name.
This change is intended to prevent the creation of inappropriate names and to avoid confusion in management.

For example, new teams named “SpringAclass” and “PRteam-public” are changed to “SpringAclass-group” and “PRteam-public-group”, respectively.

Please be informed that existing teams or groups are not affected by this policy unless you rename the existing ones. Also please note that newly created “public” teams are required to have the suffix “-public” as announced before.

Any question please ask: https://www.cc.tsukuba.ac.jp/wp_e/contact/ees_inquiry/
