Agenda for 'Waterloo Polaris Advisory Group' Wed. April 19 9:30-11:00 MC-1058

  1. (Bruce) I think we may want to think about making some sort of recommendation to UCIST that some money be spent on an interim solution, ie. either a pool of striped disk installed in a Sun somewhere that we do netapp multilevel dumps to, or a basic DLT drive and use the native netapp dump/restore, or other options ?

    I think that Jim has shown that anyone relying strictly on the netapp/legato client could have:

    - nothing backed up at all (with an error message to that effect)
    - apparent success, yet with some files not backed up
     
  2. (Nevil) I would like to confirm that we are not planning on charging students $10 for an account extension
     
  3. (Nevil) The Arts K drive is done for moving software to the appfiler Just waiting for hooks for K:\etc\winlogon.bat and pdrivers.pol and printers.pol etc...
     
  4. (Nevil) Scratch - I would like to see the rules for minimum password requirements on the web page
     
  5. (Nevil) What is the life expectancy of watstar drives and the access command?
     
  6. (Nevil) Is there any progress on a web page tool for resetting/cleaning a student account?
     
  7. (Nevil) Has there been any problems with the current sysctl under testing and when is the plan for final release of it?
     
  8. (Nevil) Carl has noticed that some sysctls seem to be applied out of order Is this a possibility Ray?
     
  9. (Nevil) Erick has anything changed with in the Active Directory discussion since I/Arts talked to you?
