Project / Action Item List

  • Active Directory -Heather H
    • An announcement will be made this week announcing the chosen software vendor. The Contracts web site has been updated.
    • The statement of work for an external MS "expert" is being worked on. A representative will be coming in next week to review our domain set up.
    • Do we want to plan an organizational wide roll out of vista or office? F&A is planning on the fall. ACD is ready to go. Most new systems come with Vista and it is very hard to get XP. Pat still trying to get XP so is RAL. CGD is looking at a fall rollout as well. New systems are arriving with Vista or MS07 , they are reloading them with XP until they are ready to fully transfer.
    • Office 07 plans for CISL; Glenda plans to have an extensive testing period, she is anticipating big problems with the file transfers. Heather adds, MS07 documents can't be opened with XP and have loaded the compatibility package on some systems. You may want to save file in lower format so it saves as written.
    • The status of Vista and MS07 staff should be sent to staff, possibly through Today@UCAR.
  • Calendaring - Heather H .
    • Building a test server to test Notify.
  • Central Authentication -Lynda M.
    • The Security Redesign is going well, hope to have a design review this summer.
  • Computer Room - Pat W.
    • The implementation committee and task force groups have been meeting individually, a full group meeting is scheduled for next month.
  • Electronic Mail -Pat W.
    • The mail pilot project report has been posted. CISL is not ready for additional divisions to be added to the project at this time, their plate is too full.
    • The summary may be discussed, but the actual implementation and user moves will be put on hold for a bit.
    • Group is concerned that CISL does not have enough resources to continue with the project. Pat states that this was a pilot project and the project was a good test with MMM. A lot of issues have been worked out, and now when it is time to move forward "we" are prepared.
  • FTP - Pat W.
    • Documentation has been put on hold right now due to staff issues. Paul Goodman is the point person and can't move forward at this time.
  • Software Management - Pat W.
    • Notification to divisions will be going out. In the new process there are people who are designated to buy software, not anyone can buy off the site. A class has been scheduled for the people who can purchase. If you have someone who may have not been included talk to Collette.
