Previous Meeting's Minutes - Approved
Project / Action Item List
- Active Directory - Heather H.
- A poll was taken, all of the Divisions have a firewall in place and don't have a problem changing the policy. Meaning to not disable the firewall would not be a problem. Not sure what unidata does, person says they only have two people and it will not affect them. They will talk off line.
- There was concern that CSAC would put a mandate.
- The change will not affect many people and have no objection to moving forward.
- Change: get rid of disable firewall policy.
- HAO does not have a policy but ok to change. CGD has a policy.
- Not going to vote today, per Wendy we are going back to the default. Do we want to get rid of the policy that disables the firewall?
- Mic asks if we are going to turn it on for every Windows system on the domain, correct. States that we are removing the policy at the domain level.
- In principle everyone is ready to make the change, but with the holidays it will be put off until January. Announcements will be sent.
- Mic asks when IE7 will be released on wsus. FA not planning on going to IE7 so no timeline. Reason, for not changing is most of the web applications FA uses are not supported. These applications only work in IE.
- Calendaring - Heather H .
- The infrastructure is being changed from Sun clusters. They mess up the Meeting Maker server. Upgrades were done over the weekend and caused problems with MM. Don't know how soon it will be fixed.
- MM will be moved off the Sun cluster sometime after the holidays.
- Currently testing Notifylink. Works well on palms, and Treo. Blackberry testing has not been going on. Don't have any to test with. If you have one to test with please let them know.
- Mobile software on a Treo drains the battery faster. Notifylink says Mobile does that. Testing with Mobile will continue.
- Mobile note, you can't use the cradle then wireless for downloads. Must use one or the other method.
- Update daylight savings time before you apply Notifylink.
- New version for Blackberry Notifylink just came out.
- Room Reservation System
- Still testing, on target for the end of the year.
- Central Authentication - Glenda A .

- Moving forward, presentation was given to the Presidents Council with our recommendations. They approved. Planning document should be ready end of January.
- Met with UOP Directors. Gave them a heads up on recommendations. They expressed needs and concerns.
- Plan is not complete, so hesitant to talk to people since some change may still take place.
- Developing a financial package for the plan, Division related. The cost to upgrade vs do one location is being looked at.
- Presentation to the UMC is scheduled for January.
- Lance met with UOP Systems Administrators on Monday, and will schedule a meeting for NCAR Systems Administrators.
- FA is replacing the UPS in the CG2 computer room December 7-9th. FA will shut down everything by 4:00 pm Friday. All centralized services will be down from the Holiday Party through Sunday. Will be announced on Monday in Today@UCAR. Globe is getting permission to use some space in FL2-3095, a temporary location. NETS is keeping UPS up as long as possible. Power to building will be cut Saturday morning.

- Open Discussion -
- Heather; a general FYI regarding making UCAR more green. Katy has sent an announcement to FA asking them to turn computers off at night. FA is in discussion with her, computers need to be left on for upgrades and backups. Which is already a problem for FA.
- Maybe Management should define how to handle the issue per Division.
- There is a concern that something may be mandated that upper Management is not aware of. Management should be included in such discussions.
- FA will be making recommendations to the ITC.
- ACCIS will look at FA's recommendations next month and have input.
- Dynamic dns; it appears mail clients are not being named with the full domain. Be sure to configure mail clients with full dns names. Best practice, be sure you are pointing them to the full domain name.
- Marla, Jim, and Pat flu pandemic; the criticality list may be restructured. Next meeting a draft revision of the list will be available, input will be asked for.
