Deployment+Proceedures

This from Jimmy Anderson - Technology Coordinator - Dyersburg City Schools

1) we have three users on all machines -

a) student, no password - standard user, can not change dock, profanity filtered in dictionary

b) admin, generic pw that all teachers know - admin user, full access

c) tech, super secret pw that only my department knows - admin user, full access - used as a backdoor in the event that something else is changed

2) we turn on ARD on every machine. I have a server in each building so I can remote in and "see" the machines on Bonjour scanner or they can give me their IP and I can remote directly. This has greatly enhanced our helpdesk capabilities.

3) we have a compliment of software that gets loaded on all machines - MY LIST HERE

Additional things I do / would like to do.


 * 1) bind every machine to our Open Directory server
 * 2) label every machine externally w/ the computer name and GCS crest
