Today I've been doing my bit for the local community

I'm rebuilding and securing the Internet cafe in my local community center.

It's ten Vista home premium machines with three network printers, that have been in use for a couple of years without any system management

I've managed to get three back to a semblance of order and installed Spiceworks to monitor things and Teamviewer so I can work from home as much as possible (MSE is installed too ). All free software as the Charity have no money

Things are not made easy as two machines I'd checked had the Ethernet patch cables stolen - the staff wondered why they could not access the net :sarc:

The original company that set things up passworded everything and promptly went bust without passing any info to the center Staff Including taking the volume license keys for office with them

Oh well I like a challenge

Sounds like a good challenge, mate. :shock:

 

[Barman58]

Thanks Guys

I think some of the regulars are going to get a big shock when the system is finished :devil: ....

No more loading any software without authorization and full control of access to the net but at least they'll have a system that they can use

Tonight (oops) we have our 6th week of bean bag league. I am in a bar league and we play other bars here in town. We are pretty good but its not the most serious thing ever, basically its a good time to drink a few beers, meet some new people, and have some fun playing bean bags against some complete strangers

 

[Kari]

Nigel, you just got some brownie points from me (rep not possible in Chillout)!



Any change you can find those Office licenses?

Any change you can find those Office licenses?

Maybe - I have one machine that I am locked out of at the moment - that has the original license on it - If I can get through the lost admin password I should be able to recover the code and use it to re-install the other machines.

Will have to try to reset the admin account or else look for a live disk that can read MS keys.

The worst part is that if they were bought direct by the center MS would have the license information but they were bought through the company that went bust.

I do get really annoyed with people like the original company for not documenting the system correctly and providing this information to the client - I was taught to produce a package with all licenses, passwords and other pertinent data - one copy I archive and a hard copy in a sealed envelope is given to the client.

Your a good man Barman!
I have faith in you to get everything up and running.
Make sure you do your own backup in case they mess with it and call you back in for repairs.

 

[Barman58]

Backups will be made

One system image of the master machine - All the admin software and settings
One system image of a user system - Keys cam be changed and re authenticated afterwards - Luckily all the systems are identical hardware wise

You are the Best.......
You are safe from the Darwin Award that has been going around.

 

[Barman58]

You're never safe from the darwin award - not until everything is finished and the office door is hitting you in your butt on the way out

Here's mine for the day......


Have a laugh and go home. Tomorrow is another challenge!
