Lab Update - Purvine Hall

Below is an update on the labs from Troy, Matt, Art, and Josh:

Things are busy for the labs this summer. We are giving all the machines a thorough going through and repairing all the problems. The biggest change you will see this fall is the deployment of DeepFreeze by Faronics. With this software we are going to be able to solve a lot of the problems we were having in the labs. Students will now have Administrative Privileges to the machines to try out new things. When the machines reboot they will go back to a known state. Anything on the local hard drive will be wiped out if its not part of the image. ALWAYS PUT YOUR DATA ON Z DRIVE.

The other change is that roaming profiles will also go away. This is due to all the problems we had with them last year. Hope you all are having a great summer and see you in the fall.

Purvine 125 update

The lab in Purvine 125 (Unix, SOC, and Assembly) is now ready for your return. Also this past week the OIT Physical Plant finished installing additional outlets in the halls outside PV 114 and PV 120.

Hope you all ENJOY the LAST WEEK of your vacation! We are looking forward to seeing you soon
