Key Decisions

• We will create and release a customized installer to include the MIT profile in an effort to make the installation process for the end user easy and straight forward.

Notable Features

• Provides full support for 32-bit Windows Vista
• Solves various e-mail, file sharing and other network problems for clients connecting from off campus
• Utilizes kerberos principle for authentication, so no separate VPN password needed

System Requirements

• Windows 2000, XP and Vista - 32bit only

Testing

A draft test plan is in the works.
