Day(s) worked or described: T, Th

Total hours for week: 6

The School: Wadsworth

Kind of Work: Tech general

Main Report or Narrative:

Sorry I wasn't able to get my report in sooner.  On Tuesday, I changed out Mr Turners computer and replaced it with another computer, as it would not boot properly.  There were few issues on the computer I had to fix as well as getting it onto the domain.  I was also able install get Mr Burell printer set up and running.

On Thursday, I worked with Mitch fixing a wireless card problem and getting a pair of mice in Rm 206.  I was also able to get a couple of printers installed for teachers.

Final Notes:

Looking at the overall picture at Wadsworth, I would say the computer labs are in decent conditions and the classroom computers need some work (depends on the classroom).  (1) One project that I wasn't able to complete was the installation of Deep Freeze onto all of the classroom computers.  I think this would help in preventing some new issues on the computers and also bugs and spyware.  (2) Then, there are many teachers who received new printers but did not have the USB 2.0 A to B Cable required to set them up so the teachers were having to go and buy the cable independently (still a couple more that need to set up).  (3) Another annoyance found in the classroom computers is computers that are partitioned badly creating problems regarding free space on the system drive (mostly NetVistas).  I remember last year, I was using a utility to resize and/or eliminate the partitions problems, but I wasn't able to get through all the classrooms and like OS re-installation, it is very time consuming process.  (4) There is also the related problem of the partition issues on the  Wadsworth server that Mitch and I were working to eventually fix.   As far as outstanding specific issues, there are a few listed below

- Mrs Cooksey needs parallel cord for printer in Rm 204
- Rm 226 has  a broken monitor and the teachers computer has spyware issues on her computer (might just need to reinstall OS)
- Few classrooms that need USB cords so that printers can be installed
