STLCC Infrastructure

SunGardHE Banner ERP systemSingle forest, single domain Active DirectoryAll administrative, and most student/library

workstations are running Windows XP – 8,000+ desktops

All employees login through AD accountsAll employees have Exchange mailboxes

(@stlcc.edu)Growing use of Blackboard (Enterprise 7.3.216.12)Goal is to eventually authenticate all students

through individual AD accounts

Student E-mail Issues

Students· Many do not have an e-mail account· Many do not update their Banner (student ERP)

information when they change e-mail accounts· Want .edu e-mail address

Faculty and Community Relations· Want a standard, reliable student e-mail address

Administration· STLCC OneCard ID requires an e-mail account· College wants a way to build an ongoing

relationship with, and a means to contact, alumni

Create a collaborative campus

Technology ConsiderationsLimited IT server support staffingLimited capital for student e-mail / data storageBanner is the trusted source for all student infoAlready have Exchange infrastructure in place,

sized only for employee accounts (200MB/1GB)Already have district-wide AD authentication in

place, DCs were sized for multiple years of student accounts

Already plan to use Microsoft ILM (MIIS) for student AD account provisioning

Limited help desk support staffing

Student E-mail Decisions

Accounts are for current, registered, credit students

Accounts are created when students registerAccount ID created by Banner (3rd Party ID)Windows Live account displayed in Banner

Self-Service (along with other e-mail addresses)Accounts are marked as “Alumni” when student

has not registered for three (Fall or Spring) terms

Accounts will be optional (personal use) at first, becoming the official e-mail address for Fall 2008

Students may forward e-mail

Create a collaborative campus

Other E-mail Decisions

All Windows Live individual accounts will use the @my.stlcc.edu domain name

Windows Live accounts will also be provisioned for all faculty and employees

Employee accounts would be part of the disaster recovery plan – used for communication in the event of the loss of our primary data center and Exchange system

The official employee e-mail address will remain the College hosted Exchange server one – @stlcc.edu
