<strong>The School: </strong>Burke

<strong>Kind of Work: </strong>tech general; asset registry

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

After coming back from Spring break and generally touching base with teachers on tech issues they may have had, my time's been taken almost exclusively with doing an asset registry for the entire school.  Primarily, we're looking at CPUs, Printers, TVs, Projectors, Ipads, Ipods and the like and gathering description, product number, serial number, asset tag, and any notes.   <strong>Although, if you are going to undertake such a task, my advice is to get a set list of what you need to survey for from the very beginning. </strong>Double and triple checking some rooms has been a problem, but teachers have generally been very helpful.  The biggest issue has been asset tags missing - the majority of computers are named correctly so I can get the number from that.  And when the serial tag has been removed I've been using the cmd: "wmic bios get serialnumber", but I discovered this has to be done from a techco or admin account.

Amidst this task, I've also helped staff with smaller problems.  <strong>Russ</strong>, the computer in Ms. Redmond's room (#26) which was having wifi connectivity problems: I rolled it back to a previous restore point and that seemed to work.  It'll be worth checking on again in the future probably, and she said you might help her set up the Smart Board --which I haven't had any exposure to.   I also helped Ms. Biggs set up her printer, which just needed the apple software installed.

I'll be doing this work until the end of the week and then comparing our list to CPS's official list, taking off items we are disposing of or do not have any longer.

<strong>Schedule Change</strong>:

My schedule this quarter is settling into Wed and Thur from roughly 11am-2pm but with some variability.  Some days I may opt for M, but as of now, this is working well for everyone!
