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

2/19: finished inventory of computers. Taking down new asset tags, amount of RAM, checking things are in the proper room, etc.

2/21: Began fixing issues reported in the inventory (missing pieces mainly). There is a computer in 208 which is missing a hard drive. It is a CUIP computer. When I tried to boot it, it said that there was no hard drive (as would be expected).  <strong>Does this need to go back to the office? </strong>I began taking inventory of the printer scripts. I am very glad that VBS is easy to learn. The scripts in 208 and 209 were fixed and updated. Yay! They can print now, but teachers don't realize that the computer that the printer is installed on must be on to print from any other one that shares the printer.

2/26: There was an issue with syncing install-printer-204.vbs and install-printer-208.vbs when you logged out of a computer when you used a student account. I fixed this issue, though it took a while to find the files. Logged in as the owner of the file (cause tech3860 has special permissions) and gave read access to the srv01/users/tech3860 folder to Everyone. This eliminated the problem. There was a tech request form submitted by a teacher. Her printer needs work, but we do not have the appropriate supplies. Instead of fixing what I could not, I installed the room printer on the student computers, as they had nothing before (odd). I plan to go to every room and inventory the printer scripts and upload them to the tech3860 server folder. She also had an issue with McAfee and her Promethean log in. I could fix neither, of course. According to the teacher, McAfee was installed but never validated on all of the laptops. She was also told to log into the Promethean interface with the personal account that can be used if you do not register the product. This process must be repeated every time the program is opened and she was wondering if this could be remedied (it's extraordinarily tedious).

Inventory findings:

Average RAM: 968.75 MB (all lab computers [30] have 1.96 GB. That's why it's so high)

OS: primarily XP, about 2x more 2000's than W7

Model: Primarily Dell Optiplex series, some Compaq's, 1 IMB Net Vista

Class Laptops: All wonderful, mostly new. Running W7. Plenty of RAM. Will work for years.

Laptop Cart: use Cisco wireless cards. A few work well, the rest are absolutely terrible. Many are missing VBS script engine (hm...)

Mrs. Johnson wants to get rid of everything running 2000. Woodlawn will be getting new computers for the lab soon, and all of the 2000 computers can be replaced from the lab.
