Agenda

Windows updates

Daniel will add a generic Windows Update Fix Script to the Academic Support OU and the Faculties OU.

This should solve issues where Windows Updates stops working. Visit Daniel Delattre's site for further information.

Symantec Antivirus

SAV 10.0.1.1001 should be updated to 10.1.5.5000 to avoid vulnerabilities.

Make sure that you allow access from the SAV Server through your firewall rules.

Internet Explorer 7

Deployment of IE 7 will happen during reading week (February 19-23).

There are still some small issues with software packages.

Vista

There are still talks about the licensing for labs, faculty and academic support.

Hon is part of the committee.
