Summary • This has been a very useful meeting! • The important themes… • Installation, configuration and management • CERN, DESY, FNAL, SLAC - all different! • Not obvious how to scale down in size - cloning? • Windows 2000 • Very important issues and opportunities! • We should try to agree on an AD design and look at possibilities for HEP - soon! • We need a HEP Windows 2000 migration group D.P.Kelsey - HEPNT Days
Summary (2) • Security • Important! • Must share experiences • UNIX/NT integration • UNIX and NT are both here to stay • NT is just another operating system • We should use each for the appropriate tasks • Make it easy for physicists to use which they want D.P.Kelsey - HEPNT Days
Summary (3) • File serving/sharing • AFS is a very useful interim WAN file system • NT/UNIX • NT/NT • But it will not work for everything • We should track developments! • HEP - physics applications on NT • Very early days • It is possible • There are farms D.P.Kelsey - HEPNT Days
Thank you! • Local Organisers • Alberto Pace • Veronique Favrot • others • HEPNT group • The speakers • All of you! D.P.Kelsey - HEPNT Days
HEPNT Future plans • Continue closed meetings: Jan 99, May 99 • WAN file access, NT 5.0 ... • Much work still to be done on the HEPNT web, http://hepwww.rl.ac.uk/HEPNT/ • NT issues are also discussed at HEPiX (14-16 April 99, RAL) • please come and offer talks! • Then what? • More meetings like this?
