How I Install a New PC For a User At Work

I will first name it almost like the original, because at the end you will rename it to their original name. You should come up with a good naming convention for your organization. Where I work we have a good naming convention that works good for our organization.

I will install AV and download updates for it. You want to run Windows updates and download all of the updates that you find. You also want to go back to windows updates couple of times until you see 0 updates. I do leave out some updates like the desktop search. I don’t think desktop search should be in Windows Update. I just don’t like it.

I will then look at the config sheets that we have to see what software they have. I can install most software as admin but sometimes you will need to run and configure software as the user. After the software is done I will then install printers.

My last thing that I do is call up the user remote into their old computer that is getting replaced and back up their desktop items, favorites, outlook folders in Application Data, outlook folder in Local settings, and signature folder for outlook. Also it is very important to see if they have files on the root of c. You can tell them they should go into their network drive but I just copy it over anyways. I will then get their password so I can create their profile and setup email for them and set their default printer.

At work I am in the middle of doing PC refresh for the month. I have 10 or so computers that I have to do refresh for. It is going fine so far no big set backs. I should be done by monday or tuesday.

Corey Haim Child Star Dead at 38

So when people heard of the death of child star Corey Haim they started to search on Google to find more information about him and how he died. With doing this it helped propel Corey to become number one on Google Trends yesterday.

The LAPD said he apparently overdosed and it could have possibly been accidental. He had a hard life in battling substance abuse even Corey Feldman had a hard time with drugs. You could have seen him in Reality show that the two Corey’s did that he has on drugs.

He was in a bunch of movies and some of them are The Lost Boys, Lucas, and Firstborn. If you want to see his biography then Click Here

Google Android on AT&T Wireless is a Thumbs down

It looks like a lot of people don’t like there Google Phones with AT&T. The phone that they are selling is called Motorola Backflip. They have changed this phone. They are not using Google’s search instead of Yahoo search engine. A lot of users are complaining how some of the regular features are not there or they simply don’t work and get error messages.

I think this is a very poor decision on AT&T’s part. They should have left it alone and not mess with it. They don’t want to be open source and they don’t users to be free to do what they want on the phone. This is very bad of you AT&T. What do you think about this?

Russian Launch Keys for Spaceship on Pawn Stars

I think this would be cool to have also. These keys were used to launch the space ships for Russia. It is part of history but the guy that was selling the keys wanted a lot but Rick didn’t come close to what the seller wanted. Pawn Starts is a realy cool show to see what some people have and are willing to sell their things.

You air that you have these launch keys wouldn’t it be something if the guy gets a visit from Russian intelligence asking questions. I only saw the trailer for the show but didn’t watch the show, but I still think the show it very cool and it would have awesome if Rick was able to get the keys from the seller.

Busy Sunday 3/7/2010

I got about two calls from work in the morning on Sunday and then I had to go in to put in loaner equipment for copier that was down. I went to the flea market that we have in Syracuse. Then I went to my parents to do my laundry and then took my parents dog for a walk.

The training classes are really working for her. She is really good on the leash for walks no pulling at all. When my parents took her to a park she didn’t mind the people and she wasn’t pulling like the other dogs. Here is a picture of her playing with a bottle.

Blog was down for two days

All of my websites were down for two days. The web hosting company that I have said The server had a bad drive in RAID and after FSCK when they tried to rebuild the RAID it failed and it is not possible to recover data from it now.

They restored everything from March 1st backups. They are still restoring people. I just can’t believe how many people they have on one server. I only missed couple of comments but everything got restored fine. My other websites are fine also. It really sucks when the website is down for two days and you can’t do anything about it.
