Wednesday - Met with the Board of Directors regarding CIPA, Internet Safety, RUS Grant CIV system installs, monthly tech meetings, Website requirements, Disaster recovery training.
After the meeting, I went to Blevins to help with various network related issues. We also tried to hunt down a rogue wireless device, but by then school was out. I believe the device is a 'hockey puck' portable wifi spot that someone brought and plugged in to the network. We will try again another day.
Thursday - Met with Jeff Madlock of Hope Schools regarding disaster recovery testing, policy, Apple Lion server and other tech-related issues.
Also met with representatives from Howard Technology regarding a touch panel control unit for our conference rooms. They will put together a quote and get back to me. In the meantime, I will call in 2 or 3 other vendors for quotes as well.
Had some issues in the computer lab, so I spent the bulk of the afternoon ironing those out. For the most part, Parallels would not print. Installed correct network printer drivers on the machines and took other measures to help keep the lab up and running. Mostly, I disabled some software updates and changed a few settings to help make the virtual environment more stable and efficient (memory settings, full-screen options, etc)
Friday - Spent the day in Fouke. We installed Server 2008 on two servers, created a secondary Domain Controller, and did some troubleshooting in a lab. We had to make a few changes to the DHCP settings, and they will need to make some more as well, as the pool has filled up. It is amazing how many devices they have! Talk about tech in schools! We also took care of some other network issues (DNS, subnets, etc)
