Week of Dec 10.  Jhony, Erin, Sommer, Vidal, Dan and Marilyn at AGU.  No Team Meeting
ACTION:  Please make sure your travel and leave is up to date for the next 3 months on the ESPO cal.
ACTION:  CSs, please remember that International travel orders are supposed to go in 60days before travel.  Not that far away for ASIA-AQ.

Workstation Admin Meeting notes:
As far as I understand it, the steps now include…

  1.  Complete Elevated Privileges on NASA Information System (ITS-002-09) Training
  2.  Sam and MV will draft justification for RBD.  (Only needed for those going on International Travel)
  3.  Each traveler must send the RBD form to the WCS Security Team. Be sure you include the “full machine name.”
  4.  You will then get an RBD# to include in your NAMS request:  NAMS #264025 - Workstation Administration.  This can only be done with the actual loaner asset number.  Please request your loaners, at least, 1 month in advance and set the pick up date a full week before you plan to travel to be sure this process works.
  5.  You are then given Workstation Admin (will allow adding printers and forgetting networks).  You have to restart the computer before it is active.
  6.  When you need Workstation Admin, you go to Self Service and turn it on.  It will work for 5 minutes.  If you are in the process of downloading something, it is supposed to let that finish, even if it takes more than 5 minutes.  You can keep getting 5 minute windows as often as you need.
For those who attended the meeting, please correct me if I got something wrong.
Other notes:  (1) they are looking into not bugging us to return our loaners until we have returned from travel (2) Ernest will meet with me to discuss PIV exemptions as an option in case our PIV cards break.
