Network Group Network Security ACIS General guidelines and comments: -------------------------------- All new service additions should include a service reduction unless manpower has been adjusted in some other manner (e.g. recent reduction in another service, additional staffing, etc.) We should strive to focus support on Infrastructure Services (LDAP, Kerberos, AFS, Email, File Services Andrew Windows, Clusters, etc.) Minor Change example - supported versions of a particular application, service pack release Major Change example - support of a new operating system. Provide an alternative solution for clients during Phase-outs. Try to limit support to only two active versions of a product or operating system (e.g. WinXP and Win2000).
