On September 30, 2009, a team of IT Professionals from Indiana University of Pennsylvania was assembled with the sole purpose of beginning work on a year-long project that will result in significant changes/upgrades to the very infrastructure that makes up the User Services division of IT Services.
The goals:
- Upgrade all client PCs managed by IT Services to the Windows 7 OS
- Create a new domain
- Design and implement a new deployment solution
- Create a new print server
- Implement the use of SCCM2007 R2
- Transition from traditional application installations to virtual applications
- Select, install, and implement a new anti-virus solution
- Replace all or most physical servers with virtual servers running Windows Server 2008 R2
The team:
- Project Manager Amanda Marshall
- Project Manager Tom Rodgers
- Project Member Bryan Sciotto
- Project Member Kevin Groll
- Project Member Stephen Ditch
- Project Member Shawn Morris
This blog will be used to document the progress of the Windows 7 Project at IUP and to serve as the central point of communication between the team, the university, and other organizations.
is there any way for my to get windows 7 on my personal computer from the university?

The university does not have a site license with Microsoft that allows for student use of the OS. Microsoft does offer all higher education students excellent discounts on their products. Check out this website for more information on Microsoft's "The Ultimate Steal" deals.
