<strong>Kind of work: </strong>Tech general, setting up new computers

<strong>Main report or narrative: </strong>I spent these two weeks setting up the new donated computers with Mitch and Tremayne. Most of them went to the library, where we had to set up some tables for them so they could be set up near the ethernet ports and power outlets. We put them all up, but we didn't have power cables for the computers themselves. Mitch left some at the NSP office, and I finished plugging them in the next day I was there. I ran the standard setup scripts to rename the computers and join them to the domain, and put Google Chrome on the techco login in case we ever needed to use them, so we could have a decent browser. I also put chrome on the student login in case the students or teachers would prefer it (although it's not the default). I also set up a computer in one of the classrooms, where the teacher had been swapping in her own to be the teacher computer when she was there. I plugged the new one into the smartboard, and waited for Mitch again so he could set up the software on it.

One problem with the library computers at first was that they did not have the techco login, so we had to run the standard accounts script too. This set them up with the generic techco password rather than the school-specific one. I came back today, and all but one had been switched automatically to the school-specific password. There's still another classroom or two to set up the computers in (a lot of the staff was off for some kind of staff development day, so I didn't end up getting into the room we were storing the rest of the computers in).

Also -- those labels on the computers and monitors seem to be peeling off, we might need different kinds, or maybe just more tape.
