Project / Action Item List
- Active Directory - Wendy D.
- The CIT admin group contains all the divisional admins and verifies the user is in the script.
- A user created nested groups in such a way that it caused a script to go in an indefinite loop. Be careful with nested groups when using scriipts.
- The vpn server can push updates to clients. Wendy has been deploying vpn from the active directory, but this creates a legal problem. Sarah Pritchard has been involved.
- Wendy and Lynda will send an email to ACCIS regarding the capabilities for automated upgrades.
- There is a service patch for SQLl server 2005.
- WSUS service pak was announced. Once Wendy does some testing it will be announced.
- Pat feels the vpn patches notification should be sent out by the security team and not rely on the divisional admins to keep up with Cisco patches.
- Wendy will not support beta versions of Vista.
- Calendaring - Wendy D.
- When the Remedy Help Desk application was upgraded last week some people could not view Meeting Maker. The upgrade made the fonts unreadable. The problem has been fixed.

- Electronic Mail - Markus S.
- Mark Uris and Ed Arnold will write the document that John Fox was suppose to complete.
- With John's departure, Ed is helping out as much as possible.
- Pat has had some migration problems and is working with Ed. Once the two problems are corrected migration will continue.
- Problem one: web mail default to Replyto: is mail.mmm.edu which does not exist.
- Problem two: Subdomain requires odd email address waukau%mmm@mail.ucar.edu. The cron script output from Oracle database and syncs with LDAP.
