Day Fifty Four


I spent a few hours working on the Web iPhoto system today as well as clearing our the shared drive on the network. 

Might need to change the Media backup system settings. If encryption is enabled, hardware compression is disabled, meaning you can only fit 200Gb on a tape that could hold 400GB.

Priced up more storage for the other backup server - £650 for 6TB! Me and The Other Tech agreed that its going to be quicker backing up to local hard disks than over the network to NAS boxes.

Met up with the ex-Web Guy today and talked about improving our Moodle and display screen systems, which was good. Also thought about setting up a VPN for localised WiFi access for a bunch of Asus eeePCs we have.

Had a go at joining a 10.5 laptop to my Server 2008 test domain. I remember reading that Macs don't like joining a .local domain, which is what I have running, so I'll need to do some work on that before I can safely say 2008+10.5 work well.

Finally, I went up to Languages to install some software on their classroom PCs.
