Comprehensive IT-related asset inventory, including identifying all WinXP systems. And now includes printers.
Research groups
Note
Ensure we identify 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!
Mostly just for ChemIT staff
- Info on WinXP and other vulnerable systems (restricted access to ChemIT staff)
Helpful Tips & Notes
- Printing full records is easier for correction
- When printing, omit records for 248 Baker & possibly personal machines
- Bring the label maker to label machines
- Pay attention to multiple MAC addresses - virtual ones are not important
- IP addresses are not crucial unless they begin with something other than
- 128.253
- 10.253
- 132.236
- 10.236
- 192.168 (some - check w/ Roger or Michael for group router range. Systems not on group router need to be recorded)
Inventorying Macs (Mostly a reminder for Jeannie - because I am somewhat unfamiliar with Macs):
- (1) IP Address & (2) MAC (media access control, or network card) Address
- System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Hardware
- Check MAC addresses for other networks (if there are any)
- Computer Name
- System Preferences -> Sharing
- Serial Number & OS Version
- About this Mac -> Double click "Version" text

And other faculty we should connect with, but not with a group (don't thus have an IT Rep):
Burlitch, Fay, Ganem, Lee, McLafferty, McMurry, Meinwald, Sogah, Usher, Widom, Wilcox, Zax
Most have just their own computer (or two), unless otherwise indicated.
