| - | SoCS hosts a Windows server for staff to facilitate the use of any applications that require the Windows platform. It consists of the Microsoft 365 suite of apps, Genetec for door security and access, and SF Queue for course evaluations. The Windows server is not connected to MECM but is AD bound to restrict access to people in the staff group. Access is granted to Faculty members by request and not as default. The server blocks outbound RDP connections due to security reasons. | + | SoCS hosts a Windows server for staff to facilitate the use of any applications that require the Windows platform.
