Today I concluded my mission to disconnect all network points from the network if the are not used. This means we've reclaimed 10x 24 port network switches, 4 or 5x desktop mini switches, and binned about 5 older rack mount switches. We've now got 4 crates of cat 5 cable in stock. In most of the cabinets I've been to, I've put in red cabling to indicated ports which link to other switches, and marked where they go. I've also logged every single cat5 point in every room as we don't have a list or map of where our points actually are. Can't believe it took a week to sort out, nor how many of our resources were being wasted in terms of "unused" kit, noise and heat. I'm very pleased to announce that we no longer have any 10baseT hubs on our network, hurrah (there were only 2 left anyway...).
The Other Tech got our antivirus updating properly on our Macs, which is good.
How VERY exciting it all is.
