Agenda

Podium computers rebuilt

  • Tim reported that almost all of the AVPC Podium computers are being reimaged prior to the start of next term. This is being done to correct a PowerPoint problem on machines with the 'Uniprocessor Image'.

Nexus domain controllers

  • Hon mentioned that there was a problem with some of the domain controllers caused by a memory leak in the IAS Radius server. He suspects this was caused by an MS patch.

XAS in AHS

  • Lowell reported that AHS has migrated to the new XAS. There were a few days of trouble but things are alright now.
