Microsoft® System Center 2012 Software Center & Application Catalog

Welcome to the future of application installation. You as LISD staff members will no longer have to wait or have administrator approval to install the basic software that is used throughout the school

district. You now have the ability to install software at your own leisure. No product keys will be required

or additional logins. You click and install! (be sure to ONLY use Internet Explorer( ) it is the

only compatible browser to install programs via the Application Catalog)

Microsoft® System Center 2012 Software Center & Application Catalog• To access via Software Center: Click on the Start button at the bottom left of your

screen, select all programs, select Microsoft System Center 2012, and then select Software Center.

• If any application you select to install requires approval due to limited licensing, a notification is sent to the SCCM Administrators. The SCCM Administrators will then contact the appropriate department head for approval of the install. You will be notified if approved or denied. If approved, you will then have the ability to install the application.

• This is the new process for installing applications within the district. Meaning, if you submit an Eduphoria work order requesting your adobe flash to be updated for example, the work order will be closed and you will be directed to the SCCM Application Catalog for fresh installs and updates. This will also apply to those who receive a new computer for example. You will have the ability now to choose what applications you want installed on your computer, as we all know not everyone uses every application that the district provides.

• Any questions regarding SCCM?

• Due to the changes in WiFi for staff, a new RUP was created and all staff members are required to sign the updated version.

• BYOD for staff: You know are officially invited to bring your personal devices to use on the LISD network. The only restriction is that all personal devices will be used on the LISDPROD network ONLY. Staff will no longer have their devices on LISDSEC. LISDSEC is now reserved for student devices only.

• The key differences are that LISDPROD is completely unfiltered Internet access and devices will be secluded from the rest of the network for improved network security. What seclusion means, is that you will not be allowed to access server shares or network shares with personal devices to protect the network from accidental transfer of viruses, malware, spyware, etc.

• Staff devices found on LISDSEC will be blocked from the wireless network.

LISD WiFi/BYOD

• The process for connecting your personal device to LISDPROD is by accessing the Zero-IT Activation link: https://172.16.254.23/activate.

• If you already have your personal device on LISDSEC, you only need to access this link from a Web browser. After activation is completed, you will then select LISDPROD.

• If you do not have your personal device on the LISDSEC, then you will access BYOD-Portal first, then type the above link into a Web browser to activate your device. You will then have to select LISDPROD.

• You can activate your smartphone and laptop/tablet if you like.• You connect to the WiFi at your own risk.• The Technology Department will not troubleshoot hardware issues. Meaning, you

must know how to use your device and know how to connect to WiFi networks on your own. The only issue that Technology will address is if the activation link does not accept your user credentials.

• Per the updated RUP you will be required to review any material on your personal device before sharing with students since the Internet access on the device is unfiltered.

• You will NOT give your device to a student to use nor will you give them the activation link.

LISD WiFi/BYOD

LISD WiFi/BYOD

• What does folder redirection mean for you? No more roaming profiles!! Yippee!

• With roaming profiles, your entire profile was downloaded to every computer you logged into. This is why your login time could be excessive, especially on the wireless network.

the server
