[unisog] Active directory setup

[Stasiniewicz, Adam]

Philomena,

Take a look at Microsoft's academic volume licensing page:
http://www.microsoft.com/Education/ChooseOption.mspx it goes over all the
methods available to education to get software licenses.  Institutions have
the option to license via machine/user count (i.e. the classic licensing
method) or via FTE (i.e. based on the number of faculty and staff).

Microsoft licensing is immensely complicated.  I would recommend you get in
contact with your VAR/hardware vendor/etc, most have people dedicated to
licensing and can help you figure out which plan makes the most sense for
your situation.

MSOE has a Campus Agreement (so it is licensing is per FTE per year).  The
Campus Agreement automatically comes with SA (software assurance) so as new
versions of software come out, the licenses are a upgraded at no cost.

Hope that helps,
Adam Stasiniewicz

Subject: [unisog] Active directory setup

 

I'm new to the education environment. we have 5 locations over 10 blocks.
only our business office has a domain. the other locations are connected by
dedicated T1 lines. I want to put everyone under the domain and active
directory. I know I have to buy extra cals for the staff and faculty.

My question is - because I'm in a school, do I need to get additional
licenses for the students (i could do it by machine not user). when I went
to school I had to log into the network but I'm not sure what I was logging
into at the time. 

what are schools doing these days? thanks for any information you can
provide.
