Administration Tools

We offer you system administration tools to help you manage your Linux /Solaris/Macintosh systems.

Foremost is our platform-specific network installation process, which gives you access to a secure operating system and a full suite of software tools.

Once you have installed the core system, use patch tools to keep the OS up-to-date and UserAdm tools to tie your machine to campus e-mail and directory services.

Want to be more independent or to understand what's going on in more depth? Borrow media or documentation from the IS&T Media Library.

Does your system need to be backed up regularly? Contact IS&T Operations.
