RE: Local Support Tools (LST)

[David Barr]

After years of restrictions it appears that C2K machines will not the two sides (managed and unmanaged) but a single side. A new super administrator will have the ability to install software as he/she sees fit. It appears that a few schools maybe piloting the CC3 network this month. Is your school involved?   David   -----Original Message----- From: netman@mail.belb.org.uk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of J Cleland Sent: 02 June 2006 09:51 To: netman@mail.belb.org.uk Subject: RE: Local Support Tools (LST)   Looks like C2k are listening to us after all!  If LST, SP2 and the HD convergence does what it’s supposed to, life should become a lot more bearable on the Managed Side!   I was talking to a guy from Northgate who suggested that machine rebuilds would be taking place from September onwards.  Looks like September’s going to be a busy time for Northgate since they’re also supposed to be starting the Primary school installations that month too.  I wouldn’t be surprised then if there’s some slippage in Northgate engineers getting around the post-primary schools.   Best regards,   James Cleland ICT Manager   **************************************************** Belfast Royal Academy Cliftonville Road Belfast BT14 6JL Tel:  02890 740423 Fax:  02890 750607 Web:  www.belfastroyalacademy.com **************************************************** -----Original Message----- From: netman@mail.belb.org.uk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steven Millar Sent: 02 June 2006 09:13 To: netman@mail.belb.org.uk Subject: RE: Local Support Tools (LST)   I believe that we can expect a backup facility and software to allow remote shutdown of computers in the new Local Support Tools (due some time in the future - over this summer hopefully).   Also that the computers will get Service Pack 2 installed and we can say goodbye to local mode. Local mode is to be replaced by an administration user (whose details are to be passed on to the authorised users). This will allow the installation of your own software. Google Earth for example.   This means no more two gigabyte limit but also a visit from your friendly Northgate technician who will have to rebuild each C2K computer (again hopefully over the summer).   I expect the tools are only for authorised users but I do not know for sure.   If you know more about the new tools or have heard of any other interesting C2K news please post the details to Netman.   Steven Millar ICT Support Officer Strathearn School Subject: RE: Local Support Tools (LST) Date: Wed, 31 May 2006 14:23:00 +0100 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: netman@mail.belb.org.uk What LST can we expect to have?
