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
  • Check Software
    • plugins update
    • excel/word/msoffice
    • datastudio starts & connects to PASCO box

    • GNUplot (if applicable)
    • XServer XMing (if applicable)
    • Chrome
  • Check Passwords
    • Student account has no password & is regular user

    • Student can't make changes
    • 407 should have a password known to instructors
  • Run Updates
    • Make sure Windows Update will also do "Microsoft Updates"
      • Manually run windows update until no more updates available
    • TEM (Tivoli Endpoint Manager) should update most software automatically, but manually check the versions of these programs

      • Adobe Flash
      • Adobe Reader
      • java
      • Chrome
    • TEM should be set up to turn off update balloons
  • 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)

  • Rename computer to 'instr1' and shutdown ASAP (to avoid having TEM rename the computer again).

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).
