The servers and PCs in the CIS Undergraduate Computing Labs are being updated, and hardware and software changes are currently being completed. The intent of this memo is to make you aware of the upgrades, and of changes to the labs and the way they are managed.
Previous memos are available here .
Faculties will no longer have a Computing Services Coordinator assigned to them. This group currently maintains the lab servers and core applications. You are advised to do this as early as possible. The most significant software change in the labs is the introduction of Windows 2000 as the operating system. This was made possible by a lot of hard work by the CIS System Support group and included the need to upgrade the lab servers and the operating system they use.
