Project / Action Item List
- Active Directory - Wendy D.
- The CIT is coming along.
- Users may try out the Windows Vista Beta, although IT
will not support the product until it has been tested and commercially
sold.
- Security for Active X and blocking was looked into. It
is too hard to predict the attacks and block proactively, there are a
few top level things that can be done to block in the event of an
emergency.
- Calendaring – Wendy D.
- The biggest concern is keeping the web client up.
Unknown why the resources error appears but are looking into it.
- SCD and RAL users are getting kicked off when idle,
could have something to do with SSL connection or certificate.
- Not all divisions have responded to the web client
survey. Have not heard from SCD, ATD, SCD, RAL, and CGD. Also need to
know how many web clients these division have.
- Reminder email will be sent to the above divisions
requesting survey info.
- User complaints about the new version were discussed. A
big concern was there was no user training before the upgrade took
place.
- Communication about the upgrade and other central
services is lacking. Using email and Today@ucar may not be the correct
tool.
- Pat and Jim will look into communication methods for
central services changes.
- Wendy will follow up with Heather to see where this
project stands;additional upgrade later in the year, room reservation?
- Central Authentication - Mark U.
- Watching the gatekeepers, had problems with one not
listening.
- RAL and MMM have moved.
- Project is on schedule.
- Computer Room - Pat W.
- The project has been put on a slight hold while current
space needs are addressed.
- Long term issues need to be looked at with some
recommendations including, building out FL0 using current power and
cooling to meet RAL nees at this time. Remodel 3095 where HAO had
stuff. This would be a minimal remodel toe into the generator at FL2
for Cosmic and Unidata who have 24x7 requirements.
- These recommendations will be taken to ITC.
- It was suggested that a group be formed to look at the
long term solutions. FL0 build out could be done by the end of the
year, while FL2 would take 2 to 3 months if accepted.
- Directory Services – Mark U.
- No update.
- A meeting took place with CU to look at their directory
system.
- The presentation given by CU was sent out to task force
members, although they have not met for discussion.
- Electronic Mail – Pat W.
- MMM is testing the client and preparing documentation.
- Guidelines for acceptable mail client use in MMM is
being distributed and migration has begun.
- Planning on meeting next week to discuss account set
up.
- Looking to have the whole division moved by November or
December.
- FTP – Mark U.
- The task force met and reviewed the DIG report and
proxying. It was determined that FTP is a fading technology.
- EOL and ACD still use FTP for file sharing and transfer.
- Final recomendation was to leave everything the way it
is and dissolve the committee. Don't see a need to pursue this
technology any further.
- Mark will send an email to ACCIS with a project update
and close.
- The temporary licenses are about to expire. Mark Uris
wil look into an extension. Currently two weeks left.
- Software Management - Pat W.
- Two groups have been formed to look at auditing tools
and tracking of software.
- The tracking group is looking at tracking processes
through whole life cycle, variables and the best way to track across
the organization. User education would be an additional piece.
- The auditing group has come up with a charging system.
- There is not a replacement for Herb Poppe within the
task force at this time.
- 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 is available at http://www.survey.ucar.edu/opinio/s?s=1054
on the web. Not much response from divisions and labs.
- TAP is interesting in getting involved in the project.
- It was recommended that TAP representatives meet with
Jim and Ann Marie to see what thier focus is on the project.
- Surveys are due to Ann Marie by the October meeting.
- A survey reminder letter will be sent.
- SLA’s Required, Formatting, and Definitions - Jim V.
- The SLA format will be discussed at the ITC meeting.
Jim will update ACCIS after.
- The criticality list was reviewed and some changes were
made.
- Working on putting together a corporate wide and
divisional list of services and a priority of those services.
- General services criticality is addressed on the twiki.
- Maybe color code some of the items that serve
network ports, breakers, etc.
- Add access card issues, UCAS, RAS Dialup.
- Long distance should be a lower priority.
- Community resources vs UCAR resources.
- Divisional needs should be sent to Jim.
- Jim will check with Aaron to see how the MASS store
ranks in criticality vs mail, internal access, etc.
- May want to have divisional sys admins look at the
criticality list to see what is missing.
- Web Conferencing - Mic S.
Future Agenda Items- none given.
