- Kerem: Working to finish DART design (deployment of Win2000 to DLCs). Trying to focus on specific pilot departments who are more ready to go. Need commitments from netops - in order to do independent domain, need to configure network settings. Requires a sub-domain (e.g. cao.mit.edu) for the windows domain; need to determine what the SLA looks like. Theresa is talking to Jeff about this. Working on team pages. Working with Dell & Microsoft to get outside assistance with setup of domains. Trying to do a test run with Microsoft and Dell on this; they are helping to provide funding. Trying to get consistent "reps" to have MIT knowledge help our clients.
