HEP group, University of Sheffield Concerns and the Future
Migration to (the inevitable) NT
- When? Although no urgency yet it will happen - need to be prepared. Training?
- Acquire 1 NT machine soon to gain experience
- Access to NT desktop from UNIX via WinDD
Less time for system management - rationalize
Poor support from campus services
- Almost no support for MacOS (or Win ‘95 !)
- No networking diagnostics
- Unclear future strategy for campus computing
