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

Download the Vista (32 bit) postscript drivers from

http://onyxftp.mykonicaminolta.com/download/SearchResults.aspx?productname=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?

Next meeting is scheduled for 12-2-2009 from 1:30pm thru 3pm (so we don't run out of time so badly) Meeting place is still 307 Hillsborough.  We may or may not have a projector. :-(

Folks who need to share status reports should get them on the xteams blog or to me by 5pm Monday Nov 23trd so that everyone will have time to see them before the meeting.

Everyone with a to-do, don't forget we'll want a brief update at or before the meeting!

Agenda

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,

Hi Folks,

Danny and I have started talking again about having regular meetings to better co-ordinate our efforts.  We're hoping to set up a semi-weekly get-together at first, and we'll review the frequency once we get things rolling.

Please feel free to delegate or refuse this appointment as appropriate.  I know that not everyone on the invite list can attend, but there is no time when everyone is free.

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
• Group 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.

One or more group policies (GPOs) can be defined for each domain, site, and organizational unit (OUs) in a forest (that is, an entire Active Directory domain network). All of the GPOs can be managed from a Windows 2000 or Server 2003 domain controller system through the Active Directory Users and Computers utility as well as several others.
