NAME IP=192.168.1.xx DESCRIPTION SPECS
csfsrv02 IP 21 from TN sophos + DHCP + ghost as of 4/29/09 + Renaissance via Joe 8/18/09 C: 62gb free out of 67gb
mac server IP 26 from Brimmer to access it from a windows machine you can use a free VNC Viewer here. If you are using a MAC then it should have its own client to remote in. The username is root and the pw is the same as the domain administrators. When using VNC Viewer you only need the IP address and password (not the username).  (Note: For this to work you have to do it from a computer inside the network or over a VPN connection) 
csfsrv04 IP 41 first class + domain controller (windows active directory) + first DNS: see Stefan note below C: 12.5gb free of 20gb
D: 64gb free of 128gb

IMPORTANT THINGS TO BACKUP quickbooks, raiser's edge, renaissance, athena, home folders July 11th

Ghost Notes



APPETIZER
1. On a functioning PC, connect on our network using REMOTE DESTKTOP
2. Connect to server 2, then launch multicast server.
3. Give it a session name, e.g. Yankees Stink
4. Now check the radio button LOAD TO CLIENTS
5. Choose BROWSE and navigate to this location where Joe put a folder
on the C drive called GHOST IMAGE that contains multiple files
C:\Ghost image \Dell gho
6. now Click ACCEPT CLIENTS on the right


MAIN DISH
1. From the PC WE ARE IMAGING, boot off the pink JOE floppy
2. With the arrows, select multi casting
it says installing packet driver and IP address for 
if it cannot find DHCP server then reboot
now it wants session name, e.g. Yankees Stink
it will say SELECT LOCAL DESTINATION .. just OK
when it says Destination Drive Details, choose PRIMARY 3
proceed with disk imaging? yes
now the machine is waiting

DESSERT
1. Now go back to the same machine where you had the appetizer and click SEND

THE NEXT DAY
1. Remove the floppy and reboot the computer perhaps with DOS COMMAND of ???
or you reboot by power off and power on
2. After restarting log on as local administrator which had password of
 storefrontxxxyyy where xxx are 3 numbers and yyy are 3 letters
3. On the newly formatted imaged machine, there will be a file on the desktop
called NEWSID
4. Open it so that you can change the computer name on that screen ... this involves
--> choosing RANDOM SID
--> using the name of WLIAG# so we can keep track
--> WLIAG1 was done on 4/30/09 ("we love ian and giuseppe")
--> WLIAG4 was done 5/26/09 from Jason ... I am not sure where 2 and 3 are
leave all defaults as they are and click next next next
it will scroll for minutes as it applies the SID (security identification device) and 
updates the registry keys

eventually we boot
then reboot
then join the computer to the domain and you are done ... see this page where it says
"HOW TO JOIN THE COMPUTER TO THE DOMAIN"

Server and Tech Things To Do

--> Stefan and Roger were at Storefront from 9am to 7pm on Friday 8/30/08 
... they got 3 donated servers installed (Buckley 320 GB, Harpeth Hall TN PowerEdge 1550 and GA)
--> as of 7/10, Sean has the backups going directly to the E: firewire drive 
... they got printers moved from CSFSVR1 to CSFSRV07 ... they got 4 new HP printers installed
 on CSFSRV07 and also got Sophos worksing
--> Sean needs to adjust acronis

get asthma database formerly on server 1 working
turn off server 3
find out if the drives from the PowerEdge 1650 that just died can go into the PowerEdge 1550 
from Justin Dover from TN

Sophos

--> sophos ID number written on a label ...em0624458268 ... third character is a zero ... 844frs104 (ends in 104) --> we need to get Sophos working on all PCs and then all Macs Roger has set it so that the sophos updates are at night Roger suggests that people be instructed to leave computers on at night --> when in sophos and it asks for administrator login and password, we need to use use storefrontschool\administrator and not just administrator ... see note below --> we use 9 byte password that we got from bruno which is recorded on password sheet ... csf + 3 numbers + 3 letters --> Adam Gerson says NOT to deploy SOPHOS on the Macs ... from a PC, I was using \\CSFSRV02\InterChk\ESOSX ... Adam showed me to use this command from a Mac smb://192.168.1.21/interchk/

Now for each CLIENT PC

STEP ONE: on each PC, go within CONTROL PANEL to add/remove and get rid of SYMANTEC anti virus or get rid of AVG ... if AVG, get rid of two things p.s. for SYMANTEC ANTI VIRUS, you may need the password of "csf + 3 numbers + 3 letters" STEP TWO: then go to classic view and turn OFF windows firewire all under W ... leave it off classic view control panel then windows firewall change to off STEP THREE: then go to server -- perhaps by REMOTE and deploy sophos for that pc ... the SOPHOS server is on 192.168.1.21 or CSFSVR2 programs sophos enterprise console also sophos console go to unassigned now drag the computer from UNASSIGNED to CSF it takes 20 minutes or so to find computer name go to RUN then type CMD then type HOSTNAME username: cstorefront\administrator works password: gid ... three so far we have done DEV2 ... EAST2 ... EAST7 ... LAB07 ... EAST6 ... FINANCIAL (Dorian Brown 10/31/08) Daniel Brewer PC (named DBrewer on 12/18/08)

notes with Stefan on turning a Windows PC into a network machine if it has come from Dalton or Buckley or has never been on our network


CSFSVR1 = 192.168.1.20 CSFSVR2 = 192.168.1.21 (old one was turned off and moved to basement) ... pretty sure that the Harpeth Hall TN Server is now CSFSRV02 as spare server CSFSVR3 = 192.168.1.22 notice that the first three are of format CSSVR# while the next few are of form CSFSRV## CSFSRV04 = 192.168.1.41 CSFSRV05 = 192.168.1.42 (now toast as of late June 2008) but Sean and Stefan said to avoid using this IP number CSFSRV06 = 192.168.1.43 TROI CLIENT PC = 192.168.1.44 (running First Class SYNC and First Class Archive) CSFSRV07 = 192.168.1.45 CSFSRV08 = 192.168.1.46 ... pretty sure that this is now the 320 GB Buckley Server to be used for Acronis CSFSRV09 = this is the Sophos server not sure of IP numbers... hope that Stefan and Roger made this 192.168.1.47 more notes from Roger and Stefan .36 computer lab west .38 grade 3 printer click here for list of printers with IP numbers they go from 23 (Comp Lab) 24 (MagiColor Bus Off) 25 (MagiColor Dev) 31 (Front Office Xerox) 32 (US MW Xerox) 33 (Dev Xerox) 34 (Color 2600n Comp Lab) 35 (Color 2600n Front Office) ... 36 (???) ... 37 (Adjowah HP2015dn) ... 38 (HP2015dn) 40 (HP2015dn) ... whoops 42 (HP2015dn) which used to be a server HP toolbox FX ...

Oct 20 2008 Update re Server and Fixed IP

The request for public ip to the FileMaker server has been completed. The IP will be 63.139.199.118 with port tcp5003 open. Please let me know if it's working or not. Once this step is completed I will make the necessary dns changes for it to resolve to a name. Steve, we are still looking into a secure way of allowing file sharing over the internet from that server. Feel free to contact me with any questions. (Roger)
I am at home now and while neither of the attached FMLaunchers would work, I was indeed able to access Filemaker via fmnet:/63.139.199.118/SF_UI (Steve)

July 2 2008 Update

when I was away in Milwaukee and California, we had an issue that was resolved by Peter Herzburg from KWAH coming to 129th street ... he fixed something on the roof and installed or fixed DHCP on server 4 ... he may have been completely unaware that DHCP was running on server 5 and that that server had failed ... or it may be that the problem on June 25th was UNRELATED and before server 5 crashed

Hey Steve, Just wanted to fill you in on today's visit.    There were 2 problems,
one was a loose fiber plug on the roof and the second was that the
dhcp service stopped on csfsvr1.    It is started now but it does seem
flaky and I don't have a lot of confidence in it.   To prevent any
immediate problems I have started the dhcp service also on csfsvr04.
Here are the scopes of each.
       csfsvr1   192.168.1.120  -  192.168.1.199
       csfsvr04  102.168.1.50  - 192.168.1.119
At this point I don't know what caused the problem but it may not
really matter.   I think you said csfsrv1 was getting decommissioned
soon, right?   Let me know what you'd like me to do.

however

my notes from Sean Hamilton were that the server at IP 42 was handling DHCP + DNS (redundancy) + Acronis ... well that server is now toast and IT IS POSSIBLE that it was toast when Peter was called in ... Ian came out yesterday and confirmed via Dell that this server (which ran Acronis + DHCP + DNS as redundancy) is now toast ... meanwhile, we have the server at IP 43 running Renaissance and QuickBooks Pro (cruicial)

Quick Summary by Steve 7/3/08

notes with Paul on installing barracuda May 16

... 66.155.241.202 is our external IP for bbs.cstorefront.org current e-mail points to above ... instead we will make mail point to our barracuda which is at 63.139.199.117 ... spam.cstorefront.org will be the way users check their quarantines ... all quarantined mail will come from OurSpamFilter AT cstorefront.org ... right now, we are using 3:33 am for notifications ... daily ... can be changed by user ... scoring is from 0 to 9 .... we are blocking at 6 ... so if more than 6, it dies if between 5 and 6, it goes to quarantine box if from 3.5 to 5, we tag the e-mail

192.168.1.19

this is the firewall that controls what ports are open or closed as well as what Web sites are blocked ... it has external IP of 66.155.241.202
