7/6/15, Oliver's notes of ChemIT meeting

ChemIT is to set up, secure, network, and support a computer for Petr with the following capabilities:

  • Capable of running basic office software as well as Petr's scientific and programming environments.
  • Petr can install software using a special Administrator account.
  • The computer can be accessed remotely (RDP) from Petr's private network or anywhere else from campus. With VPN, it will also be accessible from off-campus.

To ensure stability and protect other devices on the network, the computer will have the following characteristic:

  • Single-boot operation (not dual-boot), running Windows 7 (or 8, if desired).
  • This computer will not be running any virtual machines.
  • This computer will have only one Network Interface Card (NIC).
  • The computer will only have accounts provisioned by ChemIT.
  • The computer will not host file sharing or printer server services.

Any needs not met with the above characteristics will be discussed with ChemIT to ensure the computer remains secure, connected to the network, and supportable by ChemIT.
