Comprehensive IT-related asset inventory, including identifying all WinXP systems. And adding printers.
Research groups
Idea: Document any instruments which have Windows-based operating systems embedded in the instrument equipment itself. These will thus not look like computers, per se, so a separate spreadsheet will be a good way to record them.
Examples:
- Apparently the Dichtel group has 2 instruments which have WinXP embedded. Are they off network? (In general, it's OK for them to be networked to a dedicated computer, so they may have a (private) IP address).
- In other groups, there may even be WinNT embedded!
