Vince,
check it out! thanks for your advice on strategic problem-solving thanks again ---------------------- Forwarded by Mike A Roberts/HOU/ECT on 05/24/2000 07:56 AM --------------------------- Henry Moreno 05/23/2000 06:00 PM To: Mike A Roberts/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Grace E Warren/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kevin G Moore/HOU/ECT@ECT, David Wile/HOU/ECT@ECT, Chris Bowling/HOU/ECT@ECT, John P Tollefsen/HOU/ECT@ECT, Bob Hillier/NA/Enron@Enron, Roberto Deleon/Corp/Enron@Enron, Mark Hall/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: request for help Mr. Roberts, I am glad we were able to reach a practical solution for you without going too much against the grain of Enron Corp.'s IT Policy and Standards. Thanks to David Wile and Mark Hall in formulating a solution that addresses everyone's needs. In summary, Your Contingency and Recovery machine (laptop) will be imaged for Win2000 Applications will be evaluated for compatibility This will allow you to use the machine as a back-up to gather weather data off the Internet (via independent dial-out line) in case the normal Enron network architecture is unavailable. I will follow-up to make sure we capture the one exception to the Policy and Standard that surfaced (Local Admin Rights on the laptop for development activity). IRM/Roberto Deleon will facilitate with a Risk Acceptance Request form. Thanks again, Henry Moreno Information Risk Management (IRM) From: Mike A Roberts 05/23/2000 10:29 AM To: Henry Moreno/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Grace E Warren/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kevin G Moore/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: request for help What I have: A. I have an IBM Thinkpad and a cd for Windows 98 B. I got the IBM from Richard Weeks. I bought the Windows 98. C. I have a valid business need to get Windows 98 on the IBM a. My job requires a totally independent backup to access data off the internet and process same for trader's report b. This must be done 7 days per week in the early am. c. I have new equipment that doesn't run on NT i. audio file generator (nomad) ii. video file generator (intel) d. I will also be loading Office 2000 (which I have) The problem: A. When I travel, terminal server doesn't work (last time I spent several $hundred trying) B. On the weekends, Terminal server unacceptably slow (requiring someone to come in Sat & Sun) C. When we move internally, things go wrong (this monday we got switched from 100megabytes to 10 mega bytes) - trader's report not ready on time D. I currently have no stand-alone backup for contingency purposes What I need: I need help putting Windows 98 put on my Thinkpad (When I reformatted and loaded, it did not recognize the modem) There should be no security risk because this system will be totally independent of Enorn system (just usinf the phone) CAN YOU APPROVE SOMEONE TO HELP ME LOAD IT UP??? Thank you. Mike Roberts Vice President, Research X3-5701
