[Idp.gis.support] Windows ArcGIS desktop machine at NCO

[Ken Ward - NOAA Federal]

NCO has asked that we try to reduce redundancies where possible.  Let's
please test to see if using the same machine works before requesting
another as there are support/licensing costs involved.  If concurrent use
becomes an issue lets see if we can address it first.
