Apple operating systems and the Linux e also have their EoL topic. For many application scenarios, one can almost completely eliminate one's own exposure to the EoL trap by switching to an alternative concept for workplace IT.
Conventional stationary PCs 'fat clients' , which are used for typical office work, can be replaced by 'thin clients' TCs , which are connected via the computer network to 'thick' terminal servers TS on which the actual work is done. Special software on the TS ensures that the users working simultaneously on the server can work cleanly separated from each other. The maintenance of the used software, especially the EoL topic, is generally taken care of by the operators of the TS, in case of Kiel University by the computing centre.
The direct demand from the facilities has been rather restrained so far, so that a correspondingly bookable computing centre service has not yet been developed. If you are interested, please contact pcsupport rz.
Windows 7 End of Life After this date, Windows 7 computers that continue to operate permanently should be effectively isolated from network access. Windows 7 computers that will continue to be operated not isolated in the university network after January 14, pose a considerable risk for the entire campus network: They are extremely easy to attack and, after an attack, form starting points for further attacks on the university network. To support the change from Windows 7 to Windows 10, the computing centre has created a run sheet for the Win10 conversion.
For Windows 7 enterprise versions Professional, Enterprise this does not yet seem to be the case. Check if necessary whether you use Windows 7. There are different procedures for this. An example is the Heise online help:. Check whether your current computer hardware is suitable for the use of a future more secure operating system. For this purpose, the system requirements of the targeted operating system must be taken into account.
If you want to stay with Microsoft Windows, sooner or later you will not be able to avoid Windows The regular Microsoft support for Windows 8. Full Microsoft support is only available for current versions of Windows Therefore, if you are planning to move towards Windows, you should target Microsoft Windows The system requirements for the use of Windows 10 can be found directly at Microsoft, for example:.
However, these are minimum requirements that do not guarantee a fluid application in typical scenarios. Often the question of suitability for a Windows 10 conversion is also asked on the basis of the device age. Although it is not possible to give a generally valid answer here, available conversion reports allow a softer limit at 5 years and a hard limit at more than 7 years. Note: A PC with Win7 cannot and must not be operated in the general university network.
Please contact the computing centre , to enable further operation in an isolated network area. Please contact your institute management! Please contact the computing centre , so that further operation in an isolated network area is possible. Decision: Install Win10 as an upgrade or a complete new installation Note: If you change from Winbit to Winbit a new installation is necessary.
O Not successful! For further error analysis, please note down the reported errors or messages that are displayed: Clarification why Win10 installation failed - if necessary, further use as 'Isolated Win7' is possible.
