What a Summer

This summer was a disaster for me.  Three major projects and none were 100% ready for the first day of school, let alone my normal tasks.  Oh a couple were just about ready, like the server virtualization and the physical network upgrade, but my attempt to make the network Microsoft free hit multiple snags, mostly a lack of time.

While the server virtualization went pretty smoothly and was done on time (Except for a few tweeks when students got back), the network upgrade was three weeks late and took up much more of my time than I expected.  All in all I bit off way more than I could chew this summer and I am still paying the price.  It is now the second week of school and there are still labs that are not up and running and most staff computers need updates.

I did get Samba running for file serving and print serving (well I still have one group of printers not working with all apps).  My attempt at using LDAP for autentication was put on a back burnner.  As I get more time I will post more details on what I did get done, and what I didn’t.  Along with my impressions of the software, but for now back to getting our Bus Tech lab up and running, only two more PC’s!
