Agenda - 12 October 2011

1. State of Security
   • Would like to probe all labs.
   • In the future, probe all labs by default, and email faculty to see if they want to be taken off the list.
   • Email vulnerability report to all faculty
   • Follow up to see if security holes fixed.
2. Animation Lab
   • Discussed recent problems with some student data being lost when machines were re-imaged
   • Plan to put up a sign that saving data to the local hard drive could result in data being lost (e.g. disk failure) and to come to 1140 TMCB to get a network share
   • Use a TB of network storage for the lab
   • Investigate buying additional storage as needed
3. CS 100
   • Advantageous to have a laptop
   • 80% (via informal survey) have one already
   • A request to have Adobe software – should we allow changes in the middle of the semester?
   • For the long term, investigate booting machines from an image
     • SWK does this and it works well
     • Investigate how well this works across campus
   • Route Y Login versus CS login
     • OIT will automatically populate groups for CS and for classes in CS
     • Would like to just use Route Y logins – simple administration and can always restrict to CS accounts only in the future if needed
     • Let OIT run Route Y for the Windows labs
4. MAC address registration
   • Would like to get rid of this if it is not serving a purpose
