Review Previous Minutes-
Projects / Action Item List-
- Active directory-Wendy D
- The top level SLA will be presented at
the ITC meeting today.
- The Project Certification project will
be sent out to accis_all tomorrow.
- Discussions with Karl Hanzel of COMET
about joining the domain. Wendy Derman approached Unidata about joining
the domain.
- SP2 was approved on test server. Not on
main server yet.
- VPN and RAS changes were talked about at
CSAC by Wendy--a bit more discussion took place there. Her presentation
is on the CSAC wiki.
- Still looking at firewall protection.
May give/host a seminar in March geared towards system administrators
on levels of protection.
- Calendaring-Heather H
- The committee did not find a product
that would meet our needs except maybe Oracle calendar.
- The twiki has been updated with the
committee’s product summaries.
- iCal standards are still being developed
with the contenders being part of the standards process.
- The committee recommends looking at it
in a year or so again. There is nothing out there that does what we
want with the budget we have.
- Meeting Maker should be upgraded in the
mean time. It has not been updated in a few years and some things have
changed. Meeting Maker will no longer provide the Solaris client. Web
client improved but not enough to meet our complete needs. 8.5 does
meet some of the requirements. The project committee will poll sys
admins on Solaris users and report back at the next meeting. March or
April would be time frame for upgrade. Much testing needs to be done
and a nonlive demo of the web client will be provided on the server by
the February meeting.
- Central Authentication
- No update – Linda McGinley is the lead
- Computer room project
- Directory services-Lana S
- The scope has been developed.
- The data criteria process has begun,
outlining the type of data we want to serve.
- The project plan will be discussed at
the February meeting.
- Electronic Mail- Mark U
- The SCD mail cluster project was
successful, so much so they have installed a new cluster to hold more
users. The final migration from the old to the new system will take
place this weekend.
- MMM will be incorporated with test
accounts in the next few weeks.
- Disk quotas are not currently being
implemented.
- The FTP service will be moved to the old
cluster once it is empty, providing cluster and high available.
- FTP
- Software Management Email Retention-Pat
W
- The email retention policy was sent out
to accis-allin December. No comments received. Vote was taken –
Unanimous approval that it goes to the ITC for discussion today.
- Software Management-Pat W
- The processeshave been diagrammedand
are an extension of those developed by the reengineering group on the
purchasing process.
- A request was sent to all groups to
provide a point of contact, who is familiar with the software purchase
process, for reviewing documents and disseminating information.
- Tracking information required for
software audit purposes was defined.
- Next step is to develop recommendations
for policies, procedures, and best practices for presentation to ACCIS
in February.
Committee Approval Process-
Jim V
The initial presentation will be given to
ITC today. Many ITC members have seen the concept, but we want them to
approve the SLA hierarchy structure and the approval process we have
created. It is important that they understand the problems we have run
into.
Jim reviewed the Approval Process
presentation for the group. Recommendations were provided.
Jim reviewed his SLA presentation to the
group. The CIT and central authentication SLA will be used as a test
model that will help outline and define following SLA's.
Twiki Web Pages-Jim V
The twiki and web pages have been updated.
Please take a look and send comments to Jim. At the next meeting Jim
will show in detail how the pages are laid out.
Future Agenda Items-
Contact information was discussed at NCAB. We
want to find a way to have a more centralized contact list in the event
of an emergency, ONE source for all.
