Well looks like Winter is definately on the way..
Driving into work this morning with the rain pelting down and winds blowing me about, when its starts sleeting!
Radio also saying about snow in Buxton..
I just can’t figure out what’s causing this at all
Been getting calls from staff saying they keep losing their settings, and have to frequently re-pin items to the windows 7 taskbar, and redo their email sig.
When I look at their PC I see the same thing:
user1
user1.DOMAIN
user1.DOMAIN.000
etc
Really need to get this sorted, but so far no joy…
After many attempts and rebuilds.. I finally got Microsoft’s System Center Configuration Manager (aka SCCM, ConfigMgr) working – Yippee!
It now does virtually everything I need it to do
- Software Updates
- OS Deployments – Though only re-deployments – I Use MDT 2010 for new PCs
- Software Deployments
- Asset Management
- Reporting
Many thanks to the guys at www.windows-noob.com and their excellent step-by-step instructions, without them I’d still be struggling to get this working
It’s done..
Spent the whole of half term installing a new print server and configuring all the printers so that the school can reduce the horrendous overhead on its printing costs.
All the colour printers are now set to print in greyscale only, except for the colour photocopier!
I’ve also installed and configured Papercut NG – an excellent application that will allow the school to monitor and charge for its printing by staff.
Staff will need to get used to the new charges 10p per greyscale page and 30p per colour page…
We can also “name and shame” those who are printing a lot, and relate it into how much of a tree they have used, along with how much CO2 they have produced…
Should be interesting to see how much money this saves…
Just recovered about 100GB of space on our file server after our delightful pupils copied over their music from their iPods..
Little buggers wont be able to do it again as I have now issued them with quota’s of about 250MB and working on a batch script that will remove any MP3 over 2MB in size…
If you go into Chorley today, you’re sure of a big surprise, because today’s the day the EduGeek’s have their conference..
Yes folks, today the (3rd?) Annual connference fall all things geeky in the world of IT in Education takes place in Chorley..
It may be a bit of a foggy start to the morning here, but I am sure the day will be bright and cheerful and, errr geeky!
For more info, pop along to Edugeek’s website
Just been checking the stats of the site via Google Analytics and found that I have had the pleasure of a visit from someone using one of the new Apple iPads!!
Wonder who that person was….
