    MEMO To: Faculty and Staff From: Shaun Loughney Subject: Computing at BSU User Guide Date: September 28, 1995 The following is the 1995-1996 updated inserts for your Computing at BSU User Guide. NOTE: CHAPTER 6 AND APPENDIXES B THRU E, G AND I, HAVE NO CBANGES. PLEASE RETAIN YOUR CURRENT REFERENCES. Take a look at what is new: The Center for Data Processing has added several new faces in the past year. See Chapter 1 for listing of current and new members of the Data Center. The not so new Student E-mail Server VARNEY is growing like wild fire. We have over 5000 users and are adding daily. See the Help Desk Documents BSU-01 and 02 for information on how to use the system. Several individuals on campus have pulled together and are designing a BSU Home Page for Internet access. The home page will eventually replace the Campus Wide Information System. See Chapters 2 and 5 for insight on what you will find at http://www.idbsu.edu. The Center for Data Processing has also started our own listserv, COMP-BSU. This is used to discuss campus computing issues, troubleshooting questions, and general topics of interest. See Help Desk Document Internet-05 to subscribe to listserv COMP-BSU. A couple of the Data Center's services have been improved to meet the campus needs: The dial-in access has received 16 new modems and authentication. To set up remote terminal access, see Help Desk Document COMM-05. The Faculty Computer Lab has upgraded their equipment. Several workstations are multi-media machines and have scanning ability.

  • Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset Deployment Guide
    Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset Deployment Guide Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset (DaRT) provides a set of tools that help IT shift desktop repair planning from reactive to proactive, saving time and reducing the challenges associated with troubleshooting and repairing desktop system failures. This guide helps you choose among DaRT deployment methods, and it provides step-by-step guidance for each. DART DEPLOYMENT GUIDE | INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction Many IT departments take a proactive approach to planning data protection, but they fall back to reactive tendencies when recovering from PC failures. The most common solution is to reimage PCs, but that can cause lost settings, personalization, and even data. DaRT can help you save time and reduce challenges associated with troubleshooting and repairing PC failures— providing a less frustrating experience for IT and end users. DaRT helps IT easily recover PCs that have become unusable, rapidly diagnose probable causes of issues, and quickly repair unbootable or locked-out systems, all without leaving their desks— and much faster than the average time it takes to reimage the machine. DaRT allows administrators to shift desktop repair planning from reactive to proactive, saving time and reducing the challenges associated with troubleshooting and repairing system failures. With a plan in place, the simple image creation process, coupled with an easy to use tool menu, allows organizations to rapidly deploy, use, and benefit from the toolset. DaRT 8 is the newest version of the toolset, and it is part of the MDOP 2012 release. It carries forward all the enhancements that DaRT 7.0 introduced, such as support for remote connections to the PC and more deployment methods, and it adds many new features (Table 1).
