REPLACED WITH Minimal and Ideal Set

Base VM features:

Screens from SysPrep: Machine Name/User Name
Skip TimeZone EST/EDT
Skip Language and Keyboard Settings
Skip the EULA (if possible)
Default network to Public (may disable sharing - should be ok)

Set to use MIT WAUS

Windows 7

All current patches/updates for OS

(include Microsoft Update) Check to make sure this is doing the right thing

VirusScan 8.7i

NOT include Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader (listen carefully in pilot testing)

Customized Background for branding to ease customer support and identify while on the phone

Add version information and details to system properties

If we include support direct link to HelpDesk, then we'll have to document how to change

Decided to NOT include support link details

MIT CA, etc. (Run IE Cert Tool)

Possible security configuration - Mike from ITSS to help

NOT including KfW on base because nothing on base requires it

Set home page to MIT Home Page (http://web.mit.edu/)

VMware Tools

SysPrep (still on system)

VPN - Install AnyWhere Connect

Run Once Pop Up Documentation Instructions after Out of Box Experience (hermes article)

VMX File Generalization

Use local host default printer from within VM (double check this works on Windows) — need stock answer for awareness

Concern about security if VM has write access to host machine.  Have to document how to switch it to use or not use shared mirror desktop/documents.

Need to think about audience.  Would be less likely to suggest individual client use base if not turned on.

Consider real audience for base is: IT Partners (can rethink decision down the road) for creating own image.

Business Apps VM (base +/)-

Mirrored Desktop and My Documents

NOT including Firefox in this version

Business Apps:

SAPgui 7.1.0

BrioQuery

KfW 3.2.2

Oracle Client 11g (not yet released)

IXOS Viewer

Adobe Reader 9.x (needed for IXOS viewing)

NOT Shockwave Player or Flash Player (too many updates)

Sun JRE (Lisa to get specific version info) for 1.6.x

Outlook 2007 (only Outlook)

Office Updates (make sure works with MIT Update Service)

Is there a business help page we'd want to also include in first launch or bookmark?  Lisa
