Software Configuration and Installation
SoN IT will install, test, configure, and troubleshoot all supported software for faculty and staff within the School of Nursing. SoN IT will install software not explicitly supported for faculty and staff if thorough testing proves it to be interoperable with the School of Nursing standard loadset. Any non-standard software that is found to cause performance or networking problems will be removed by SoN IT. In all cases, SoN IT will work to implement acceptable solutions for faculty and staff if software critical to their work causes performance issues.
Re-imaging of Computers
In order to keep SoN computers running properly and to ensure network security, SoN IT periodically re-images the school's computers as needed. Computers may be re-imaged for the following reasons:
- Performance degradation of workstation
- Virus infection and/or detection of Trojan or malware software on workstation
- Computer redeployed to new/different faculty or staff member
- Removal of obsolete operating systems (i.e. upgrades)
Re-imaging of computers usually takes 2-3 days to complete. Loaner computers are generally available for faculty or staff to use during the re-image.
