What is the Binghamton NetWork Manager (campus manager)?

Campus Manager is a system by which connections to the campus network are managed. It is used in the ResNet to verify that a system has all of its critical OS patches and valid antivirus software that is up to date. The system also has the ability to "scan" the network to determine if a host is infected, and it will quarantine the host if need be.

The Quick Guide to Binghamton Network Manager has instructions for registering your machine in Campus Manager.
