<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">We have faced similar issues here at NIST. And, our IT security policy prohibits the use of any USB sticks. Our work-around was to use a bridge computer between the old computers and the
campus network. In your case, you would have a Windows 10 computer connected to the university network with a second network card installed to connect to the old computers. Establish a network share drive on the Windows 10 computer to move files through.
Let me know if you want to discuss in more detail.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [labnetwork] Getting files off older computers<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Here at the LSU cleanroom, we have several older computers (e.g Win XP and Win 7) which are not allowed on the network. These computers are connected to instruments <span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">(e.g. SEM and AFM)</span> that we often need to
get files from. Unfortunately, the instruments do not run on Win 10 (our network administrator won't allow Win 7 on the network as well). <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The current protocol to get images etc. off these older computers is to use a cleanroom owned USB stick to move the file to one computer in the cleanroom which is on the network.<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not like this protocol. It is very difficult to stop users from using their own USB stick, which could be infected. Also USB sticks grow legs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I suspect other facilities on the list have faced these same challenges. I am curious how you have resolved them. Thank you in advance for your input!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
