Abstract

Student computer labs are constantly balancing the need to run the most current hardware and software configurations with the added time and expense of setup and maintenance. The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (D/EECS) administrators chose Windows NT Workstation v3.51 as a means to optimize the trade offs between the desire to use cutting edge technology and over obligated personnel resources. This paper describes the perceptions the Department had before installing NT Workstation the method we used to convert the labs from Windows for Workgroups to NT, and the benefits we have seen and expect to see from the new lab configuration
