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 OIT Media Library.

Does your system need to be backed up regularly? Contact OIT Operations.
