And We're Off!

The great computer build off officially begins today! I have around 10 different images to build in the next 5 weeks ready for the annual re-image in the summer! First off is probably the most troublesome machines the Toshiba A200′s. I say these are the worst but there not really that bad. The only difference between these and the standard machines on the network is that these have to have a shed load more software installed on them so the images take longer to deploy and take up more space on the server. Also imaging laptops is a pain in the ass because every year I have to get them all out of the trolley, hook them up to a switch and then start the imaging process. Pain in the ass!

Having a bit of a move around with my servers this year as well. Moving all my application files and networked application files onto their own server to try and give the DC some breathing space. I’ve also upgraded the two Acer servers to 4GB RAM and the two Intel DC’s are next once the supplier ships me the right RAM!
