Project
/ Action Item List
- Active Directory - Wendy D.
- Two new OUs in the CIT,
one for EOL and SERE. Instead of renaming these two groups will migrate
when ready.
- The only divisions in
the test group for WSUS are F&A and DPC. Other divisions
should consider having clients in the test group.
- The CIT SLA has not
been touched since last month.
- Office products,
service pack 2, will be installed on October 25.
- Calendaring - Heather H.
- Status of problems were
overviewed, there are currently 10 trouble tickets in the system.
- There is a problem with
the native client, can't make changes to reoccurring meetings.
Sometimes people are not notified when meetings are changed. This
happens most with meeting that were set up by proxy.
- Version 8.5.2 is out.
Currently testing the new version, there seem to be problems with the
native and the web clients. Have not upgraded to the new version.
- Sometimes notification
of proposals is not popping up on the Windows client. The reminder
function seems to be fine.
- With the web client if
you lose connection you have to restart the browser. Seems the web
server is not getting the user info from the web server.
- Version 8.5.3 is coming
out. Testing will begin on that version once it is released.
- It was requested that
divisions send out an email asking that MM problems be looked at by
divisional sys admin and have the sys admin contact Heather for help.
Please discourage users from contacting Heather directly.
- Central Authentication -Lynda M.
- The Gatekeepers are up,
although there are problems with two of them.
- A project plan is on
the twiki, with everything depending on sequential events.
- Currently working on
store and forward.
- When will vpn require
crypto cards? When everyone that needs one has one. There are radius
and auth server issues that are being worked on, need Greg Woods's
help. Hoping to have this happen before January.
- There is no time frame
for this project.
- Computer Room - Pat W.
- The CRMC has been
dissolved and changed to Computing Facilities Planning Committee, CFPC.
They will focus on the science needs not the technical needs. A sub
committee, each lab having a rep, will be created to look at the
technical procedures.
- The build out of FL0
will take place creating room for RAL. FL2 3095 will become a high
availability room for COSMIC and UNIDATA, and others who may require
it.
- The charter and
membership will be taken to the ITC tomorrow.
- Space used in FL) and
FL2 3095 will be charged back to divisions.
- Directory Services - Markus S.
- The group is meeting
today to finish up the charter and roadmap.
- All documents are on
the twiki if you are interested. More information still needs to be
gathered before bringing the project to ACCIS.
- Lana had some questions
for the group; those will be sent via email for comments and answers.
- Electronic Mail - Pat W.
- John Fox is setting up
accounts on the test server.
- Testing will begin in
November, with everyone on board by December.
- FTP - Mark U.
- This project is closed.
Closing email was sent to ACCIS.
- Software Management - Pat W.
- This project has been
divided in to two groups, tracking and auditing.
- The tracking group has
met and developed a new diagram for tracking which is on the project
web site. Please send comments to Pat.
- The diagram outlines
the life cycle of software as it makes its way into the
organization-new and transferred software, as well as the logistics of
transferring software. One thing to check is if the software can be
transferred.
- Met with Softchoice to
see what tracking methods they use. Meeting with Software House
International next week to see how they do it.
- Alex Eschenbaum is the
lead on the auditing portion of the project. Send membership
suggestions to him.
- License prices for
Enact have been established. SCD will support and host on a central
server. Send a trouble ticket to SCD if you need to be added to the
server. Tomorrow is the deadline for additional licenses, please
contact Collette in contracts.
- Projects for ACCIS have
a nice approval process, but another step needs to be included. Once
the charter, scope and goals are defined a preliminary view of the
project should be sent to security, service provider, and networking as
a heads up. This gives them a heads up up front and allows for
comments.
- The proposal policy
will be updated to include this change.
- ITC requested that the
services criticality list be reviewed again, this has happened. This
list will be used by the business continuity group as well.
- There will be a link
added to each SLA connecting it to the
criticality list.
- Service dependencies,
it was decided that each service will state what their dependency is
and what they are dependent on.
- SLA service request and
problem reporting will be left to each service to detail how they will
respond to the problem.
- The NETS SLA is being
finalized. Definitions for high, med, and low will be added.
- A draft project close
out document is on the twiki. Please send comments to Jim and Pat.
- Standardized
Documentation - Jim V.
- Software Licensing - Pat W.
- This project has been
completed.
- Pat will begin working
on closing documentation.
- Remote Services
Evaluation - Ann-Marie T.
- The Remote Services
survey has been completed by 11 of the 18 groups. Trying to get the
others to respond.
- There is a trend that
everyone has some type of hardware in their homes. Although, most don't
pay for internet providers.
- Support for UCAR
equipment in homes is quite big, but no sys admins go to people's
homes.
- Only 3 groups have a
formal policy, yet there is quite a bit of it happening.
- Need to have more
responses for the complete picture.
- The interface was nice
and clean.
- Update will be given
next month.
- SLA's Required,
Formatting, and Definitions - Pat W.
- Web Conferencing - Mic S.
- Correct the agenda to
show this as a project and not a bullet item.
- The survey document is
at: https://secureweb.scd.ucar.edu/twiki/bin/view/ACCIS/WebConferencing.
- A few changes and
additions were added to the survey so please take a look and send
comments to Mic.
- Hope to send the survey
to ACCIS-all next week.
- Please send the survey
to anyone in your lab that may be interested.
- ACCIS Member List

agenda. Changes will be handled as they arise.
