We block all faculty and staff from forwarding their emails to non-university accounts for the reasons mentioned. As we can only guarantee deliver within or email system.

We create separate accounts for student worker accounts for security and a few other reasons. These accounts are sent to expire at the end of each semester and the department is responsible for requesting the account and access be restored. It adds some confusion at first and obviously there are some ...

Hi - We finally got our quote for our VMware renewal and there is a 700% increase. I know there have been some discussions about the new licensing model but is this consistent with what you are seeing? Have you had any luck negotiating with Broadcom? ------------------------------ Frank Niewierski ...

We have multiple lpr devices across campus and utilize a number of the functions. We continue to deploy more cameras and plan on using more of the features. I would ...

At St. Mary's we issue separate accounts for users that would be students first and employees second. For us it makes it easier to not disrupt any student related functions if the employment status changes. It also allows us to keep the data that may be required as an employee separate from their student ...

We looked at JAMF and got pricing. It was affordable but we didn't find it as easy to manage. We are a very small shop so JAMF seemed like it would take to many resources.

We do bind to AD. Our imaging appliance pulls the current name of the machine and asks for verification when reimaging. So that isn't an issue for us. The biggest thing is when offices are moved around. Particularly when we aren't notified.

Not terribly concerned about it being identified. Between the network segmentation, local firewalls, limited local permissions, EDR, IPS-IDs and other security items we deemed it more important to quickly identify the location of the machine. If it is compromised we need to know how to find it and resolve ...

We use building abbreviation, room, service tag and then an identifier of use. For example R201-fxyvdp2-f. This would be Reinbolt Hall room 201 and the service tag of the machine. The identifier at the end tells us it is a faculty device. We have others like P (podium) and L (Lab). We use the identifiers ...
