Dear All...

Be sure not to miss this session with Paul Hill, David Bodnar and Richard
Jones discussing lessons learned and still to be learned about planning
for and using Windows 2000 on higher education campuses.

Be sure to pass along this announcement to folks
you think would be interested. Here is both a short announcement
followed by a much longer richer one filled with links!

-- THE TOPIC & ISSUES
-- http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/windows2000.html

A year ago, in an earlier Tech Talk, we asked "Will your campus be
running Windows 2000 next September?" Well, is yours? Some campuses
are. Most are in various stages of preparation and implementation.
Our guest experts this week have been working on Windows 2000 in a
hands-on way on their campuses. Come and hear what they have to say
in such question areas as:

- What is W2K?
- Which are the W2K issues that will most affect our institutions?
- What's been done and is being done by other institutions?
- What are the benefits of W2K?
- Are there upgrade issues?
- Which should be your next steps?

Be sure to tune in for this timely and free, distance independent
professional development opportunity. You can ask your questions
ahead of time (direct access to an expert!) or wait and ask them
during the audio webcast, by sending a message to "expert@...."


-- OUR GUEST EXPERT
-- http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/windows2000.html

PAUL HILL is a Senior Programmer Analyst on MIT's Project Pismere, MIT
Information Systems' Windows 2000 deployment project. Paul is also a
co-leader of MIT's Kerberos development team, a member of Internet 2's
Middleware Architecture Committee for Education (MACE), and an IETF
participant. He is also a contributing author to the Osborne/McGraw-Hill
publication:

Windows 2000 Security Handbook

DAVID BODNAR is with Information Technology Services at the University
of Colorado at Boulder. He became involved with the Windows2000 deploy-
ment effort earlier this year during the transition from planning and
testing to production. His primary role is to coordinate the deployment
effort and develop resources to provide ongoing support.

-- SOME RESOURCES AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
-- http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/windows2000.html

http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/deployment.html
One of the very best ways to get background on an issue is by reviewing
the audio, transcript, and resource list from any related Tech Talks
which have been previously broadcast and are now fully archived.
In December of 1999, we produced "Interoperability and Deployment
of Windows 2000" with guest experts Richard A. Jones and <b>Len
Lanphar. It remains a very useful reference.

http://www.cren.net/know/techtalk/events/hill.htm
Here is an HTML version of a related slide show presentation Paul
gave at a CSG meeting earlier in the year called "Windows 2000:
Common Problems / Unique Solutions?"

http://www.labmice.net/"
LabMice.net aims to be "the definitive online resource for IT Profes-
sionals who deploy, manage, and support Microsoft Windows 2000 products
and services." There really are a lot of good resources there,

http://www.win2000mag.net/
Also at "Windows 2000 Magazine Network."

The following is the most complete list we know of, of higher education
institution resource and project pages relating to planning for and
deployment of Windows 2000. The pages from our guest experts' home
