<strong>Main Report or Narrative:</strong>

I only worked Friday because I had a ton of work this week. I moved everything out of the school5560 user folder into another folder. I didn't want to erase it just in case someone had something important and they missed the memo. That folder is shared on the server as the school5560 folder.

Ms. Cobb got three new computers for the carts. They will have projectors attached to them. They needed to be updated, so I was just going to ghost them, but they had office 2003 on them while the image only has officeXP. So I went through the updates and created a new image. It was kind of surprising that the new computers needed 60+ updates. I used this opportunity to experiment with the GUIRunOnce parameter in the sysprep inf file. Now the image automatically runs the rename computer program on first boot, a nice little feature. I took off the join INSTR automatically because it was causing too many problems when renaming the computer (Computer already exists on the domain problem).

The ghost bootdisk with USB 2.0 support does not support many of the USB mice and keyboards. This was problematic, but I got around that by setting up the commands using the command line switches for the ghost executable:

The bart's network disk works but only at USB 1 speeds, so if you need ghost to optimize the disk first than you have to boot with that disk works (I think this only needs to happen once in the life of the computer?). After that you can reboot  into the Norton bootdisk with  the  command  line switches in the autoexec file on the floppy.
Also I changed the toner in a printer in room 209.
