Ok, so maybe it's not that bad. At least not today.
Today involved upgrading some software on our Citrix servers. It's not available on all clients yet, but it will be soon. It's been set to run 'seamlessly' so kids get a Windows app on their Mac desktop as if by magic (a la Parallels).
Found out that MCX nested groups do NOT work on 10.4, from Apple's documentation. This means the stuff the other guy set up was wrong. It works now - stuff shuts down at around 3.20, people get logged out after 30 minutes idle (ticking all those data protection boxes!).
Turned Password Policy Enforcer back on this afternoon. It hasn't given any errors (yet), and seems to not effect students this time. The staff should be warned they need to change their password soon - then next week I make it mandatory. Mwah ha the power.
Oh, our kiddy registration server broke, so I turned it off and on again. It worked.
The two backup servers seem to be going weird - one wanted a new tape, which I suppose isn't that weird....and the other one has lost its catalogue file (the thing that tells it what's on each backup tape), so it's building a new one...still...after six hours.
A random teacher asked about removing an old computer from her room but we're not sure if she means the old PC or the ancient Acorn.
Wrote an order for Flash Streaming Server today - Big Boss asked what it was for. I also said that if it works there will be an order for hardware - ie, a server to run it. He said "hardware? Oh a foot spa?". I said "yes, we're going to run the software on a foot spa" and walked off. Foot spa? That's a bit 80s isn't it?
Job advert went out on the website for a 3rd technician. Not sure what sort of person we'll get for £11,907. It seems a bit cheap.
The site office came and screwed our name plates to the door today.

There's no rush, but you can download a form from the website. No need to hurry though it will be there for a loooooong time.
