Since it has been a while I just wanted to update my last post that listed our current projects with the progress that has and hasn’t been made.
We are now in the 2008-2009 budget year. Due to us changing Internet providers we have reduced our budget needs for the current fiscal year. The big project that we’ve received funds for is replacing Shelby with a new ChMS system! (My early favorite is Shelby Arena but this is just my opinion without a team of staff talking to multiple vendors.) This promises to be another busy year ahead of us!
We did finalize ISP bids and moved to Phonoscope from Data Foundry.
Microsoft Forefront Client Security tested well and we have migrated to the full product. This is not the easiest product to implement. I am hoping for big benefits in the future as this is further integrated with MOM and SCCM.
We have deployed Windows Server 2008 in a DC and File Server role and a Terminal Services Gateway. Server 2008 is an excellent upgrade.
Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager, has been deployed but not fully utilized.
Still preparing for staff Office 2007 training. I am very nervous about this deployment and all of the helpdesk calls because of the interface change. Will look to do training after promotion Sunday in late August.
Prepared, tested and deployed new 8 core HP DL360 G5 for use as our third VMWare Server but now this server has Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 Server Core installed and is being setup as a member of a Microsoft Hyper-V cluster.
We’ll deploy Exchange 2007 after the Hyper-V cluster is operational.
After Exchange is virtualized, upgrade and re-purpose physical server as a Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 server to manage VMs and Hyper-V servers.
