Windows 7

TODO

• update documentation below for VPN - new Juniper server?
  
• Test connecting to an old ethernet/network switch like the one in Walkin
• Test Campus Manager registration- should be fixed as of mid-August, 2010
  
• KMS Server (check with S&N group)

General Network Troubleshooting Notes

• Much like Vista, Windows 7 tries to determine whether you are using an unknown or a known wired or wireless network. Sometimes it fails to recognize that you are using a previously used (a known) network. Disconnecting from the wired or wireless network and reconnecting seems to fix this.
• When connecting to midd_secure don't use MIDD\username (just the username is enough)
• Wireless sometimes displays wireless network names that were nearby before the computer went to sleep. Wait a minute or enable/disable the wireless adapter and this will clear.
  
• If you set a static DNS on your wired or wireless connection Windows 7 may remember this as a network profile and may revert to it even after you've changed it back to automatic DNS. This can happen after hibernation/sleep, shutdown or restart. Uninstalling and reinstalling the network driver per these Microsoft TechCenter instructions seems to resolve the issue.

Administrative Systems

INB, Hyperion - MIIS reports good to go, so long as Admin privileges set for Hyperion issue

AntiVirus

• Symantec Antivirus works fine if installed from go/antivirus, but need to get latest liveupdate via http://service1.symantec.com/Support/sharedtech.nsf/docid/2006032013262013?Open&docid=1999051911110813&nsf=sharedtech.nsf&view=docid&pid=1999051911110813&pkb=sharedtech

Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007

The installation works just like in Vista and XP and they are fully compatible.

Imaging

Windows 7 Imaging

Misc. Notes

• Control Panel does not have a classic mode

Wired Ethernet

• Seems to work fine, but see TODO list on top.

Wireless

• midd_unplugged does not require a password, but is an unsecured connection that is treated like an off-campus connection. This means access to middfiles and other campus resources will be difficult while connected to midd_unplugged.

• midd_secure requires manual configuration (but it may be possible to script the setup)
