  • Moving data PC to PC pt1

    i’ve been looking for a migration utility that will move programs, files, drivers and desktop settings. I recently upgraded/replaced 200 PCs in various places around my main school. I still need to upgrade my adminstrators’ PCs. unfortunately, they have years worth of sensitive data and software that can not be replaced. I tired Laplink PC [...]

  • Trojan horse IRC/BackDoor.SdBot4.GYM

    Today my entire school district was stricken by a worm. The symptoms involed:
    loss of sound card in device manager
    deletion of audio drivers
    TCP/IP corruption
    It’s been eating our network all week. I’m not sure how, but the bug was propogating via our network. To stop this, I’ve been imaging machines as I find them. Then I’d recreate [...]

  • Word 2k7 stalls after splash screen

    So today I got about 1k calls before the first bell had rung. Word was hanging up all over campus.

    As it turns out, all the printers in my print list were error’d out. [...]

  • A Curse on Windows Vista

    It’s funny how things cascade out of control. Our school was hit by lightning. It fried an archaic, windows 95 machine which was running out time clocks. No problem, I figured I’d knock together a small php/mysql based timeclock based on one I’d found on the ‘Net. My hack is working in testing on my [...]

  • Use Regedit to Control “Workstation Only” Functionality

    uh-oh, I staged 20 laptops for my vice principal to take to a conference. We had some bumps, but everything imaged ok. Then, while verifying my fix, I realized that there was no way for anyone to log into the computer sans Novell. My updates had removed the option to log into the workstation. How [...]

  • Like Christmas in June

    I have a really great principal. He’s provided me with all the tools I need to do my job and then he’s gotten out of my way. I appreciate that. Like today:
    We have a photo lab with 24 network drops. Unfortunately, all the drops are along the same wall and complete inaccessible to to most [...]
