Subscribing to the e-mail list

The NAG group maintains an e-mail list, nag@lists.ncsu.edu,  where questions, success stories, announcements and other information can be exchanged.  Right now, the mailing list is the principal existence of the NAG group -- hopefully we'll get our web page in order soon!

Archives of messages to this list can be found on the web at

NDS Tech

NDS Tech is a group of adminstrators from the NAG group that look after the campus Novell Directory Services "tree" NDS. They review schema extensions, set local revision levels, arbitrate disputes across reporting lines resulting from our distributed administration of a critical campus resource, and generally look for things to make the campus go.

On Febuary 20, 2002, the NDS Tech group became an officially recognised subcomittee of the University Information Technology Committee.

The NDSTech listserver is restricted to NDSTech members only, but archives of the list traffic are available. In addition, the minutes from the meetings are also available on this website.

NDSTech meetings are open to anyone interested in attending. They are generally held on the 1st Wednesday of each month in 216 Scott Hall (Building #68 on the campus map).
