This page is to document what software is needed to be installed on the Windows Desktops in the [[http://www.cs.umb.edu/sp/about/facilities/ Unix Lab]]. The table will document whether the software is to be included on the deployment image or to be deployed via GPO. The table will also include what mechanism to update the software. Certain software packages need to be updated more frequently due to security concerns. If the solution for updating is Re-Imaging then automatic update checking should be turned off because the user won’t be able to update anyway.
