Online exams in Nexus labs
- Nevil said that some faculty in Arts (School of Accountancy and German) are inquiring about online exams in the Nexus labs
- Computer Science uses their Nexus labs for online exam and through their firewall block all outside connectivity during exams
- Erick said in a previous e-mail response "You could do a cool firewall config with NIPFW. PSEXEC to the machines to turn it on/off during the actual exam."
- Erick also mentioned that in Engineering the Extreme switch technology can block things as well.
Report to UCIST
- Stephen mentioned that he has been asked to report to UCIST on what we perceive the future challenges of Nexus are?
Renison software questions
- Nevil reported the Renison students are enquiring about course software for their laptops.
- This prompted a discussion about the various licensing issues, restrictions to university anchored machines, license managers and terminal server issues.
DNS registration
- There are about 600 Nexus machines that need to be correctly registered in the university's DNS
Grandis upgrade
- The upgrade of Grandis went well.
Software requests
- AHS was asking about getting Refworks, a Word pluggin that interacts with the library system packaged up. Daniel said he will look into it.
