Main Report or Narrative:
For the past three weeks I've been     working on the old lab in room 204. ÃÂ Mr. Mills had set up a few computers (about 6) that were ready to be used by teachers. ÃÂ He asked me to try and get at least 20 computers working while he was away for two weeks on his honeymoon. ÃÂ So far I've been about to get 25 computers working in the lab. ÃÂ There are about three computers that are sitting on the floor that I still need to check out. ÃÂ There are also a few by the windows that I haven't been able to check but I think they were put there by ÃÂ Mr.Mills when he was trying to fix some of them. ÃÂ He told me he put a few aside to take a better look at them at a later time. ÃÂ There was one dell computer that was donated by CUIP that apparently does not have a hard drive. ÃÂ I haven't been able to open it to make sure but the error I get when I turn it on says that it doesn't have one. ÃÂ If that is the case, I'll probably take the hard drive out of one of the computers that I can't get to work. ÃÂ I also need to get about 8 asset tags from CPS for a the CUIP donated computers.

The computers that are up and running have at least Windows 2000 professional, Microsoft Office (not Publisher though), are updated through Windows updates, and have had the adm-01 tools run on them (renaming, standard account, join domain, trend, and sms). ÃÂ Once again, there are a few that have not been renamed but that is due to them not having asset tags. ÃÂ I forgot to ask Mr. Mills about them yesterday but I'll ask him if he has any on Wed. ÃÂ I've been checking the report on the adm-01 site that states if the school is compliant and so far Murray is at about 91% compliant. ÃÂ There are about 4 from the lab that are not compliant but that is because I haven't been able to run the utilities on them. ÃÂ If all goes well, I think we'll have about 28 working computers in that lab.

There are a few Dell computers, two from the library and two from the classroom in front of the new lab, that are not working. ÃÂ Two of them give 6 beeps at startup, which could be motherboard, and the other two seem to be having power supply problems, amber light at startup. ÃÂ Joe should have been forwarded the service tag numbers for these computers but I'll ask him on Wed to be sure. ÃÂ If not I'll send them to him so we can hopefully get those computers fixed soon. ÃÂ Next week I am going to finish working on that lab so that teachers can hopefully use it by the week after.
