Day Four

Even MORE stuff doesn't work! I wish the guy that left had mentioned such loose ends, as there seems to be a ton of them...

10.5 config - allowing apps through MCX doesn't work, however, denying them DOES. So, you have to deny anything you don't run, except certain folders you wish people TO have access too. Following?

No one gets our internal website as their homepage, so Firefox will need to be tweaked for that to work. Kids can't get external sites - an issue with Censornet. I believe the workstations have been added but as I only came across that 10 minutes before leaving, I won't know until tomorrow. Sidebar prefs need changing so kids can get 'Documents' rather than just their home. 

Found a new iMac that has swallowed a CD but won't eject / mount / boot from it. Oops.

90% of Macs still can't print.

Good stuff:

Backup is all fine.

Nearly got 1 laptop ready for a teacher.

32/33 machines in the ICT room work, all installed with base software, Photoshop, Filemaker, Office and AppleWorks.

iLife and iWork is installed on all ICT room machines (still needs to go everywhere else though)

Tomorrow - sort out the 8th machine in D1 and install it's additional packages. Perfect the MCX settings, finish the set up of the Art tech's Mac and install Illustrator. Maybe dump 3 machines in the other site after fixing them. Just the two of us in tomorrow.....so we'll see how far we get!
