Concerns:

  • Online sections/student who want to complete labs off campus will require students supply:
    • A computer (x86/AMD64) compatible with :
      • They have administrator/permission to install software and reconfigure things on
      • At 50 GB of free disk space - VM's
      • At least 8 GB RAM - VM's
      • Processor supports virtualization 
    • An additional wired NIC   - Lab 9-1
    • A wired switch  - Lab 9-1
    • A networked printer to add by IP for 6-2 and 6-7
    • Reasonable internet connection for downloading
      • ~5 GB Windows 10 ISO
      • ~5 GB for Windows Server 2012 R2/2016
      • ~1.7 GB Fedora ISO
      • ~500 for VMware Workstation or ~110 MB for VirtualBox
  • Labs were written for 1607, Imagine provides 1803, classrooms are 1709. Notable differences
    • Control Panel is no longer on the start button context menu
    • Command prompt is replaced by powershell on start button context menu
    • Start button content menu "System" option is the Windows App instead of the Classic Control panel item
