Policy regarding servers on the network

[Brian Viscuso <bviscuso () UWF EDU>]

I am curious to see if or how many institutions have a specific policy
that regulates how servers are put on the network? And, do you have a
formal request system in place for getting these servers on-line? We are
working on formulating a policy for college/departmental servers on our
network in an effort to 'corral' rouge servers and tighten up our
network traffic going to these servers. We aren't saying they can't have
them, we just want to know about them in advance and make sure they are
compliant with common security standards. If anybody out there has
something similar in place I would be interested in seeing their policy
or implementation.
 
Many thanks in advance.
