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

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.
