Sullivan, Glenn <> scribbled on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 7:41 PM: Internal uni WUS-server. According to central it-support here, this was not supposed to happen (it was rolled out as a new application, something that should not happen), ie be automatically okayed by the WUS and rolled out to all machines university-wide... We're waiting for an explanation from MS Sweden on what went wrong. We can't have unknown indexers autoinstall when they shouldn't, and that index and potentielly upload secret and/or sensitive docs to Redmond or wherever the servers are located. After all, we're doing basic research here and it might be interesting for a 3rd party to snoop into and get a leg forward so to speak.
