Staff Meeting

Domain migration is about as far as we will take it--schools should not see more network changes for some time.  SAB still has its own domain, and may keep it--at least until we swap servers.

 

Several new switches are in store for BCHS, but users should not notice.  Age issue on major network backbone.  I have also replaced two of the primary UPS devices in the BCHS guidance server room--source of some problems recently with storms.

 

VES has a dead switch in the cafeteria.  I bypassed it last week.  This died during the storm the other week, knocking out PE office and bus garage data line.  Will replace this switch.

 

Proxy-enabled internet use problem & high school network problem today was caused by the final step of the domain migration.  Actually, the new domain structure made this fix much easier to design--part of the point of the single domain structure.

Anti-Spam software is installed and activated.  Is just tagging "spam" for now (yes, it is tagging a LOT of spam).  Is any good email to you being flagged in subject as spam?  I will begin DELETING spam at week's end.

MES POS terminal died last week.  Two successive replacement terminals haven't worked.  Development late this afternoon is that the new terminals don't work with our version of software, so we will upgrade the MES software tomorrow.  Will return 'second' BCHS terminal tomorrow.  Thanks to BCHS staff for their cooperation.

 

A spare terminal would have been a help, but we pay for replacement service with our software support, this is the first hardware issue we have had, and a $1,000 terminal sitting around may not be the best use of limited funds.
