Week 5

Most of the day was spent hooking up new computers to the network. We named the computers RES-(insert room number)-PTA so they could easily be identfied and connected them to NUSD.LOC so they could be controlled by administrators. For some reason the renaming did not allow us to become admins meaning no new software could be installed, luckily I found that by logging in as admin on the computer and not NUSD.LOC we could install things and it would not be an issue.

Later that day we had a tech meeting, the second I have ever attended since I began working there last year. Tensions were a bit high as the teachers were now realizing that by cutting the tech budget there was not enough time for an IT to keep everything running as smoothly as people wanted. Then there was the matter of schedules as everyone wanted to bring their class to the lab when an IT was there. Sadly we had to cut the meeting short as the fire department came to make sure everything was up and running via testing (hint: it is hard to have a meeting with loud sounds blaring).
