win.mit.edu Windows Domain
win.mit.edu is an IS&T centrally-maintained Microsoft Windows domain intended for general use by all of MIT. It provides a common set of services, data, and tools. Many aspects and features within this domain are customizable by participating Departments, Labs, and Centers (DLCs) and, in certain cases, individual users.
Server Co-location
IS&T Data Centers provide MIT departments, labs, and centers (DLCs) an environmentally secure location for housing your servers and related equipment. Your servers will be provided with rack space, power, cooling, and network connectivity.
Managed Servers
IS&T provides a full service operation for departments, labs, and centers (DLCs) who require system administration and management for web servers and small databases. IS&T does not provide research computing solutions through the Managed Server program.
Computing Equipment Loan Program
IS&T maintains a limited pool of computing equipment available for loan to eligible MIT community members.
Data Warehouse
The Data Warehouse is a stable, read-only database that combines information from separate systems into one easy-to-access location.
Guest Kerberos Accounts
MIT onboarding processes automatically provision a Kerberos account for students, staff, faculty, and family members who reside on campus. Other individuals who need an MIT digital identity in order to access resources requiring authentication, but who are not active students, staff, or faculty, may be provided a sponsored guest account.
Virus Detection and Prevention
Make sure you are running virus protection software that will guard against most computer infections. IS&T provides Sophos virus protection software, free of charge, to the MIT community.
Software Patches and OS Updates
If your computer seems to be working fine, you may wonder why you should apply a patch. By not applying patches, you might be leaving the door open for malware to come in.
