Computer Moves On Large Scale The Best Way To Do Them

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic or sign up to my Email Newsletter.

Here is a list of some things that I have learned through out the years moving users around. I have done this countless times. No Move goes excellent but it can be a good move.

1. Patch all data jacks into the switch before hand so you are not waiting. You want to install the computer equipment and test to make sure it gets onto the network.

2. Make sure the computer and desks are labeled. You can put the users name or you can do a number on the desk and computer.

3. Use a plastic Bag so you can put the power strip, keyboard, mouse, network cable, and mouse pad alltogether. You don’t want a user telling you this not my keyboard and then you have to look all over the place for it. That takes a lot of time trying to find it.

4. Don’t make any changes when you moving do it after when all of the computers are put back into there new location. If a user wants a different monitors, Keyboard, or mouse. You can even have a user say they don’t like the spot where they are and you have to move them.

Good suggestions. Another one that might be helpful is to create a diagram of set up before breaking it down. Speeds up the set up on the back end considerably.

Having done quite a few office moves, which of course required computer moves, I can say that this is definitely good practice. Make sure to have a diagram in advance so that there’s no confusion about where each user will be placed in the new configuration. Labeling each user’s equipment is definitely a must, and I find that it also helps to color code the labels if you’re moving a lot of users or working with a large space. I color code for each “area” in the new workspace so I know, for example, if the labels are red they all go to the east side of the area. This helps to sort large moves.
