il: Diff for "ImageChecklist"

These are the things to watch for when creating a new lab image. You should be able to answer each of these yes or okay. Details will vary a little between intro and advanced labs.

• Check Printers
  • fzxconf should be setting these correctly (check web if need be)
    • check that C:\fzxconf\fzxcof.exe exists

    • check that you can read http://bellman.physics.wisc.edu/media/fzxconf_data.json

    • check that it is scheduled to run
• Check Software
  • plugins update
  • excel/word/msoffice

  • datastudio starts & connects to PASCO box

  • GNUplot (if applicable)
  • XServer XMing (if applicable)
  • Firefox/MSIE
• Check Passwords

  • Student account has no password & is regular user

  • Student can't make changes
  • 407 should have a password known to instructors

• Check DeepFreeze

  • enabled, changes revert

• Run Updates
  • manually run
    • windows update
    • flash
    • reader
    • java
    • firefox (or whatever browser (thinking aloud: MSIE gets updates through Windows Update...))

  • set checking to off or manual

  • kill all pop-up balloons (java & adobe)

• Check Scripts
  • fzxconf.exe works

  • fzxconf.exe is enabled and scheduled (set to run at login by Task Scheduler)

  • bellman.physics.wisc.edu is alive and has apache running (should be added to nagios monitoring)

Most of these will stay the same when doing updates, but some will need to be run any chance you get (e.g. Windows Update).
