Automatização de administração e segurança em redes Windows NT

Orientadores: Paulo Licio de Geus, Celio Cardoso GuimarãesDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de ComputaçãoResumo: A administração, a manutenção da segurança e o gerenciamento de grandes redes de computadores baseados em Windows NT são tarefas desafiadoras e trabalhosas. Algumas tarefas podem se tornar extremamente laboriosas para os administradores dessas redes, como por exemplo: instalação remota de programas, auditoria e modificação de uma configuração de segurança remota ou melhorar o desempenho de cada máquina. Este trabalho tem como objetivo desenvolver técnicas para automatizar as tarefas de administração de redes Windows NT, tornando-as menos complexas. Além disso, este trabalho apresenta e descreve DoIt4Me ("do it for me"), uma ferramenta de gerenciamento remoto capaz de melhorar a segurança, a administração e o desempenho de cada máquina dessas redesAbstract: The administration, the maintenance of the security and the management of large Windows NT networks are challenging tasks. Some tasks can be extremely laborious, such as: software remote install action, auditing and updating the security configurations or to improve the performance of each network machine. The goal of this work is to develop techniques to automate network administra tive tasks, turning them less complexo Besides that, this work presents DoIt4Me ("do it for me"), a network management tool to improve the security, the administration and the performance of each network machineMestradoMestre em Ciência da Computaçã

To PC or NetPC? Hmmm …what the heck, let’s give it a go!

Some would argue that the time for NCs or NetPCs has either not yet come or has long passed. Flinders has been watching and waiting for some time now. We had planned to try out this “new” approach in a small, controlled way in 1998, perhaps with a small server and up to 10 NetPCs. However, when university funding became available to provide 100 library workstations for student Web access to flexible delivery initiatives being developed in 1998, the Library was faced with a decision. Should we purchase 100 PC workstations with no additional staff to support this significant increase in public equipment, or should we test the theory that significant savings in application and desktop support costs can be realised with a NetPC type solution? Are they really as fast as normal PCs and are they in fact, easier to manage and support? This paper reports the reasons why the Flinders University Library chose the thin client NC solution in preference to standard fat client PCs, why we thought it particularly appropriate for student applications, how we implemented the new system, what problems we encountered and how close to reality we found the promised benefits, to both end users and system managers

Using the CERN generic Windows infrastructure in a specific control environment

CERN has a large Windows 95/NT infrastructure with more than 3500 PCs connected that is used as one of the main information services for the laboratory. This infrastructure is used for a wide set of services, including Office Automation, Computing Aided Engineering, Calculations, Software Development, and ... controls. This paper will describe the CERN generic infrastructure for Windows 95 and Windows NT and then give several examples of PC control applications and future directions. The implementation of an object oriented device server based on Windows NT and ActiveX in the CERN ISOLDE-REX experiment will be reported

Using Oracle to Augment the Information Systems Curriculum

Oracle Corporation makes its software products available to educational institutions at minimal cost. This tutorial explores options for procuring, installing, and administering an Oracle client/server database in an academic setting, and describes how the Oracle software can be used in specific areas in the information systems curriculum. It also presents results of a survey investigating how IS instructors currently use Oracle, and describes the benefits and challenges they are experiencing

A Web-based Distance Learning System in Business Administration Experiences from an Inter-Nordic Course

The paper presents a specially constructed Web-based tool, WebGPSS, developed in Sweden, for teaching business students simulation. The tool includes a Java Applet that provides a Graphical Users Interface, by which the student can build a simulation model of a system, such as an inventory system. The model is then run on a remote server, which then sends result graphs and tables over the Web to the student computer. The paper furthermore discusses the experiences made when using this tool in a distance-learning course at the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH) in Bergen, in 2000 – 2002.Web-based; Distance learning; Simulation; GPSS; Java
