Cornell Active Directory (AD), both PCs and Macs

Problem statement:

Next step: Ryan to contact Northwestern with this question/ issue find out their thoughts.

Machine names are using Cornell's AD naming convention. Northwestern likely will prefer to change these names. (smile)

...

Another possibility: Microsoft's Easy Transfer tool.

Licensing

Ryan: Closer to the move date, intends to contact Northwestern about this issue.

Group must understand licensing at Northwestern.

Microsoft

  • For Windows OS.
  • MS Office on Windows.
  • If Northwestern set up like Cornell, then they'll just work there.

MatLab

...

  • Needed by group. Won't work off-campus. A good idea: Remove CU's license file before machines leave campus. (Don't VPN in or might disable everything else for others!)
  • Idea: Northwestern insert their license file.

Gaussian: Banned at Northwestern?

...

Cornell file share service (SFS)

Ryan: To give ChemIT an account number for them to buy a 1TB drive. He's to determine time of purchase and migration timeline.

ChemIT: ChemIT buy drive when given authority from Ryan. In date decided on, ChemIT cuts access; copy contents.

Idea:

  • On a specified day, turn off access to SFS so no one can change files on file share anymore.
  • All files copied to 1TB ($60-8070) USB external hard drive.
    • Time estimate, if done on campus?
  • USB external hard drive taken to Northwestern and data moved to their files storage service.
  • Once confirmed all data successfully in Northwestern, then turn off Cornell's SFS file share.
