April 15th, Last Day at ITS

Just researched some more and worked on the Powerpoint presentation for the project. The presentation is looking good and just needs a few more things added to it. Our group should be ready to go by the time Tuesday rolls around.

Today, Mike had Dan and myself work on imaging five different computers. We first had to go get the computers from a storage room and bring them back to the ITS office to unpackage them. Once we had that done, we hooked up the power and ethernet cords so we could begin putting the image on the computers. It only took about five to ten minutes to deploy the image to the computers, which was a lot less time than I thought it would take. After we checked each computer to see if everything worked right, we re-packaged the computers and took them back to the storage room.

Not much going on around ITS today, so I decided to check out the FOG GUI and do some research that could help us with our presentation. I found that FOG was very easy to use and provided a wide array of other services than just imaging. Dan also informed me that he was finally able to get FOG working and created an image one of our computers on Monday. This is a huge step for our project after many weeks of struggling with Clonezilla and trying to solve problem after problem. Overall, FOG turned out to be a much better choice than Clonezilla due to the quick installation time and a GUI that is much easier to use than Clonezilla's.
