Facilitating ideas

• Cornell can provide Northwestern staff with a NetID if that would make things easier.
  • For example, CU Blogs exporting work.
  • Other ways doing this can help the process?

Timing hopes and expectations (general)

• Anything known? If not, when will it be known?

Cornell Active Directory (AD), both PCs and Macs

Idea:

• Leave machines on Cornell's Active Directory for move.
  • This retains all passwords locally, as cached credentials. Thus logging in will work indefinitely with current accounts when device no longer at Cornell.
• Change local (root) Admin password.
• Move machines to Northwestern. Should "just work" as they always have.
  • Won't allow the creation of any new AD-based accounts, obviously.
• Local IT, using local Admin, disengages them from AD. Optionally reattaches device to their AD.

Cornell file share service (SFS)

Idea:

• On a specified day, turn off access to SFS so no one can change files on file share anymore.
• All files copied to 1TB ($60-80) USB external hard drive.
• USB external hard drive taken to Northwestern and data moved to their files storage service.
• Once confirmed all data successfully in Northwestern, then turn off Cornell's SFS file share.

Cornell-based group web site (CU Blogs)

Confirmed by Oliver: CIT can't add value, even if paid.

Idea:

Export group site from CU Blogs using WordPress tools made available within our CampusPress instance.

• Also pullout anything that process misses.

Import into NUBlogs (sp?) using WordPress tools made available within their CampusPress instance.

• Hand-correct anything missing from the export, if necessary.

Cornell-based CATON site

• Finish getting non-CU-based domain name configured correctly.

• Rework workflow, including no longer relying on use of Will's Cornell-contracted Box.com account.

Printers

• Anything to be done?

Equipment disposal

• Anything?

Any grads staying?

• If so, and not changing groups, where will they be and for how long?
