WOCSD Tech Talk

WOCSD Tech Talk

Thanks for checking your emails. The installation of the hardward for the new network has been successfully installed throughout the district. 14 new copier/printer/scanners have been installed throughout the district. There are many changes with this new network system. Changes are difficult to learn, especially when we are all about getting ready for the new school year. Please be patient, by the middle of September all will be better.
On August 15, the server at the elementary school crashed. We have a back up to July 11, 2006. We are in recovery mode as well as setting up new users on the new server. If you go into school to work, as long as you have your work on your desktop you will be fine.
If you try to print, (we have new copier/printers with some slick options, training required )on your XP machines, use the START button, FIND, and search for the new printers. When you select one, wait while the driver installs.Then print. This will be the same printing process at each school.( At the WHS, you will need a printing code in order to use the copier/printers to print.)
Apparently, the WJHS server crashed sometime in the spring. What data was recovered is now on the new server. Your old laptops are set to find an old server. We are working on setting laptops/desktops to find the new paths. If you come in and want to print, you can find printers in the same fashion as at the elementary.At WHS, we have moved all the data to the new server domain. As you come in we will need to set your computers to the new paths. Printing is in the same protocol as the elementary. The wireless networks are not all functioning yet in all the schools.They will be soon!
Please email me if you have a meeting and will need to get on the server.We will do everything we can to get you up and running. Any questions, please email.
