So, there is in fact a valid PPD file for the BizHub Di3510

Unpack the .exe on a windows box, and poof! Instant PPD (I've attached it here to save trouble re-re-re-unpacking it)

So I was working in ldap today, and saw the following structure for OIT described under ou=units

I noticed a few units I didn't expect, namely "First Year College", "Joint Enterprise Services" and "Major University Projects"

Anybody hear about a re-org?  Is the ldap data in error?

Working with Ralph on the DNS issues, the question of what DHCP servers were running in ACSAD was raised. Well, there are 9 "authorized" DHCP servers

It's taken a while, but we finally are monitoring the Sybase tables that manage the Unity account creation, renames, and password resets.  In the past, if our account management code in either Novell or AD land failed for some reason, the first indication we would get would be furious screaming from the dbas,

I've added significant rights to the OIT role for this site, which is fed from the "OIT People" application.  Basically, I'm granting everyone in OIT the same rights that we used to have only for ISO staff, meaning personal blogs, forum creation, book editing, and overall content creation rights.

Here's a long description of how the rights are established for the software groups in OIT's portion of the WolfTech active directory.  It's long and in narrative style, in hopes it will illustrate the thought processes that yielded this configuration.

Two facts one should know

• Computers objects can be members of AD groups

In WolfTech, to assign an application to be installed on a machine, you just add that machine to a specially named group. 

I met with Bill Coker and we're going to try to get a software distribution share to deliver ISOs to on-campus administrators.  Products like SAS are up to 3 DVD's of install media, and with the double layer ISOs it's hard to deliver without a good old fashioned network share.

I'm clearing up space on the oitfs0 Celerra share, which we'll link in under the path

I'm meeting with Bill again today or tomorrow to branstorm how he wants to manage rights -- I'll introduce hi to the automatically created groups in WT.

OIT-ISO-SHS and have made a change at the OU=OIT level that should make things less complicated for all our various OU admins.

I've packaged the 32 and 64 bit ActivePerl distributions for Windows, version 5.10.1.1006.

To have it installed via GPO from the WolfTech domain, add the computer or groups of computers to the group FW-OIT-ActivePerl-5.10.1.1006, which you'll find in OIT/Software Packages/OIT Software

It's getting time to talk about what needs to happen for a clean and successful decommissioning of the Unity domain,  I'd like to start by identifying the stakeholders and calling them together to discuss their transistion needs and priorities.

Here's the services so far identified
