3. Windows OS E3 OSU’s Desktop Bundle is now called “Windows OS E3”
This does not bring changes to our offerings (yet)
To take full advantage of new offerings, the following must be true:
Windows 10 Pro, version 1607 (also known as Windows 10 Anniversary Update) or later installed on the devices to be upgraded
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) available for identity management (not generally true at the moment)

4. Windows OS E3 Windows OS E3 allows:
Upgrade without a key or authorization update
Allows users (with permissions) to upgrade themselves via Azure AD credentials
Deployment on five devices per license
Rollback to Windows 10 Pro if necessary
Deployment of features based on AD role, not installation

5. Windows Server 2016 Windows Server comes in four flavors:
Essentials
Standard
DataCenter
MultiPoint
Requires RDS CALs (not generally on license)
KMS Server appears to be activating all versions
Essentials is the only item that is a separate download in OCIO Self Service
Windows Server 2016 is designed to work with Azure
There are four versions of Windows Server 2016 (we are licensed for all of these, as much as we need, with the RDS exception noted for MultiPoint):
* Windows Server 2016 Essentials – This is a small-business version of Windows Server. Most users here at OSU will not need this, and should use Standard, but it’s offered for the limited use cases it has in our environment.
* Windows Server 2016 Standard – Most small use-cases should default to this version, as should primarily physical servers
* Windows Server 2016 Datacenter – This edition is designed for highly virtualized datacenters and cloud environments.
* Windows Server 2016 Multipoint Premium Server – This edition allows multiple users to access one computer. This requires RDS CALs that are licensed separately.

6. Microsoft System Center 2016
The System Center 2016 Datacenter Suite is now available on OCIO Self Service
Listed under “Microsoft System Center”
Licensed across campus (entire suite)
Licensed with renewal on July 1, 2016
The Datacenter download includes Standard as well
Usage depends on whether the server is highly virtualized or not
Two versions of System Center 2016 (we are licensed for both versions, including all server and client ML’s):
* System Center 2016 Standard – Designed for managing non- or lightly-virtualized environments
* System Center 2016 DataCenter – Designed for managing highly virtualized servers

7. License Mobility for MS Servers
Do you want to put a license in the Azure or Amazon Cloud, or another cloud?
From a licensing standpoint, the following is true:
You have full mobility to place a license for anything but Windows Servers into the cloud: we have to notify Microsoft how many licenses are transferred, but we can do that.
Windows Servers have full license mobility to Azure, but not to any third party cloud.
Anything that goes into the Cloud still needs an Enterprise Security Assessment done.

8. License Mobility for Microsoft
Key information:
For most things (Exchange, Sharepoint, SQL, etc.) except Windows Server, you may:
Purchase a Linux server from the cloud provider
Upload/install your own license for a Microsoft Server or product such as Windows 10
Go and have fun!
For Windows Server:
In Azure, you may do the same as above.
In any other product, you must purchase a Windows Server license from the vendor (you cannot install a Win Server license on a linux server)

9. New Microsoft Offerings
With renewal of the Campus Agreement only two years away, we’re looking at the following items to add:
Intune
Project
Visio
PowerBI
We will re-evaluate the student option at that time as well

10. Dell Standard Configs going through resellers in eStores
OSU Purchasing is targeting a change to ordering for Dell products
All standard orders will be through resellers (CDWG/GovConnect). This offers:
The same or better discount
Faster turn-around time on custom orders
All Dell products
Custom items come fully built with Dell warranty
Ability of CDWG to meet MBE/EDGE vendor requirements

11. Dell Standard Configs going through resellers in eStores
You can still obtain quotes from Dell if you prefer
Request they transfer the quote to CDWG or another eStores partner
Custom orders should be faster
Dell was running 2-4 weeks to create custom orders
CDWG suggests hours
Standard Config orders through Dell ended September 30

12. Upcoming Software Renewals

Expiration Warnings begin: Nov. 15
Hard fail: Dec. 31

JMP

13. Adobe Home Use
OSU Purchasing has taken back responsibility for rolling this out to fac/staff
We have made some progress on rollout, but are not ready to name a date yet
SSO integration and administration remain the primary issues

14. Adobe and the IUC
The IUC has expressed an interest in Adobe for students
OSU is leading this opportunity
We are discussing using IUC funding as a hedge against risk
New timeframe: Feb/March 2017, if we do this
