Day One Hundred 'n' Sixty Six


So today, I moved our domain controller(s) and terminal servers down to the other end of the server room. We have to move them in a month or so, so rather than having downtime then, and now, I moved the stuff now.....

...becuase a man from the LEA came in to install a big HP switch which as 14x fibre gigabit ports, and 48x cat 5e gigabit ports. It's immense. Everything is up and running again. He will be back to install further gigabit switches in the coming weeks.

Windows update was also done on our domain controller(s), so that's all sorted. They are also set to shut down via the network when the UPS kicks in (after a power cut).

Moved Year 7, 12 and 13 to our new RAID array. Was a piece of cake using the power of the command line! Years 8,9,10 and 11 tomorrow methinks. Then we can redeploy the old drives as a resources area.
