trb48 posted an article: Application Metering - Part 2 1 year 18 weeks ago
Right after I got Application Metering up and running I started to check what programs were being run on the computers that I manage. I noticed a few that looked a little fishy. I decided to block them, just to see what would happen. I noticed that every couple of days someone would install the software and try to run it over and over. This week I decided to take a closer look.
trb48 posted a blog entry: Adding a Computer to the Domain 1 year 18 weeks ago
A few weeks back I needed to figure out how to add some computers to our domain. I did not want to go to every computer. There are a couple of ways to add a computer to the domain. The first is a VBS script. I am not sure where I found this script, but here it is:
trb48 posted a blog entry: Restricting Network Access 1 year 18 weeks ago
I work at a college, and there is a need to have students who are registering or applying to our school to use computers. The problem is that they usually don't have a user name or password. In the past we created an account they could use to log in to a computer, but we discovered that everyone ended up knowing the user name and password. It became a security risk.

Recently I have been flooded with frustrated calls from my users. They are all complaining that their computers are running really slow. Before I checked their computers I developed a plan. I decided to remove the "extra" software that seems to creep on to their computers, run a virus scan, and defrag the hard drive. I noticed that on many computers that "extra" software seemed to creep its way...

trb48 posted an article: Dell Client Manager 1 year 19 weeks ago
One of the most annoying things a system admin has to manage is the physical computer itself. Anytime a BIOS setting needs to be tweaked or a new version comes out you have to either ignore it or go to each machine. Not any more. Dell and Altiris have created a tool to make managing the BIOS a breeze. The Dell Client Manager lets you update your BIOS, create BIOS profiles, monitor your computer...
trb48 posted an article: Dell Client Manager, Part 5: BIOS Settings Policy 1 year 19 weeks ago
We are on the final lap. We have made a lot of progress over the past articles. Here is what we have talked about: • Part 1: Installing the Dell Client Manager into Notification Server • Part 2: Dell Monitoring Policy (the health check) • Part 3: Dell BIOS Upgrade • Part 4: Dell BIOS Profile
trb48 posted an article: Dell Client Manager, Part 4: Dell BIOS Profile 1 year 19 weeks ago
Updating the BIOS is great, but it is something that doesn't have to be done (unless it is a security update). Being able to actually control the settings in the BIOS is where the rubber meets the road. Using the Dell Client Manager you can control every little setting in your computer's BIOS. You can configure your laptop, your desktop, and even your server. It is a great tool.

Last December I decided that it was high time to update the BIOS on our Dell computers. I taught my employees all the steps that they needed to take update each computer's BIOS. It took a lot of time, and it was pretty mindless work. When everything was said and don't most of the computers were updated. In the end, a lot of time and money was wasted on the project. There has to be a better way...
