Department Reports –   

Desktop Virtualization Status - The Sheriff Office computer access was successfully virtualized.  DHHS – Economic Support department will be fully virtualized in 2015 only if the current issues are resolved.  If not, they will be reverted back to regular computers which would free up 12 virtual desktop licenses for other areas in the courthouse.  PC hardware replacement schedule – will be addressed after virtualization hardware has been upgraded in March.
