Domain Controllers and Central File Servers

The domain administrators are responsible for all upkeep of these critical servers. The central file servers include the DFS root servers and the primary application package servers.
Domain Administrators: Dan Green (djgreen), Billy Beaudion (wrbeaudo), Derek Ballard (ddballar).
WDS Service Group
Windows Deployment Services (WDS) provides a convenient way to install Windows onto computers, both via network distribution and via CD/DVD distribution. WDS also provides mechanisms for automating Windows' installations, allowing users to completely reinstall Windows - without any interaction on their part - oftentimes in as little as 45 minutes. The WDS leads are responsible for implementing and maintaining the WDS infrastructure, as well as providing a core set of operating system images to the campus community.
Leads: Alan Gerber (agerber), Michael Underwood (mpunderw)

WSUS Service Group
WolfTech's WSUS Service provides a convenient way to automatically keep your computer up-to-date with the latest software updates from Microsoft. The prompt installation of security updates is critical to the security of the NC State University Network. The WSUS leads are responsible for the maintanance of the WSUS server, the timely approval of patches, and the communication of monthly patch releases to the community.
Leads: Dan Green (djgreen), Joshua Gira (jjgira), Joe Wells (jrwells)
