Hi, my name is Greg Williams. I'm a lecturer here in the Computer Science Department at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. I am, among other things, also the Director of Networks and Infrastructure for the university. One of my main jobs is to make sure that policies are being followed. We're maintaining systems well. I handle, or my teams handle, all different kinds of things from Telecom to servers to power management in the data centers. So, we're going to look at this course which is called Planning, Auditing and Maintaining in System Management. We're going to look at a lot of procedures that we use for system management in general and how we use those policies organizationally and technically to make our systems better. So, this course approaches the practical side of system management. So, the things that I've learned over the past 15 years of doing this will be applied in this course. Lot of these are best practices. We have what I would call a medium size enterprise here, with around 12,000 students and 1,500 faculty and staff. However, if you take into account all the students that don't go here on a semester basis, we have over 30,000 accounts and so we have 30,000 users that we need to be responsible for. So, the, what we're going through this course, think about your enterprise, think about your organization and how you apply policies and best practices or best planning practices or system management best practices to your organization. In this course we have four different modules. The first module is going to introduce the critical first steps of system management. The second one is going to explore planning for enterprise environments. Third one is going to cover auditing and, lastly, we're also going to cover maintaining systems as well. So, things like backup and planning for disaster recovery. So, in this course, as well, there will be quizzes, there will be an exam at the end. You do need to score a passing grade on all of them to pass the course in general. The final project of the course will actually dive into looking at policies and creating policies for an organization and how do we go about applying the appropriate policies and technical policies to an organization. So I hope the stories that I may explain, and some of the anecdotes that I may explain to you guys, help you understand why we do things the way we do them in the organization and in an enterprise, for example. We have a lot of different things going on in organizations all the time so understanding how we plan, understand how we maintain systems in an enterprise fashion, I think will help you get ahead.
