We have to change all of our students’ passwords on our LMS since they’re instituting more stringent password requirements. This would be fine except that there is no way to bulk upload a password list. Time to spend all day changing each one individually.

Merijn posted:Just expire the lot and force the students change them on the next login. Sigh. If only it were that simple. Passwords are assigned by us to the kids since there are multiple, unconnected services they need credentials for, and some of the kids in question are as young as 9 so we like to keep all of their credentials for these various services the same so they have less to remember. If we let them pick their own passwords it would be chaos, and my job would be reduced to resetting passwords all day because they forgot what they changed it to 20 minutes ago.

We have every user’s password in an Excel spreadsheet. The password to the Excel spreadsheet is the surname of the former director of the school. Kill me.

It has been decreed that instead of earmarking a portion of the operations budget for network infrastructure, all funding for that will now come from the school’s yearly fundraising auction. Makes sense.

Thanks Ants posted:...can fundraisers be used for that sort of expenditure? Do you mean like, legally? I have no idea. We’re an independent religious school so we have a fair amount of freedom in how we conduct business. I assume that the director of operations, from whom this decision came, has made sure it’s kosher, but he has kind of a tenuous grasp on reality so I honestly don’t know. The way the fundraising auction works is that if a teacher or principal wants some big-ticket items for their classroom or building like a wall-mounted touchscreen or set of iPads or whatever, they fill out a form called “Fund-a-Need” and it’s placed on the auction block for wealthy donors to bid on. A lot of our students come from monied families so the fundraising dinner has a lot of rich bigwigs looking to throw money around, and flashy items like that generally get funded in this way. Personally, I think it’ll look loving ridiculous if we’re trying to get basic institutional needs paid for like this, particularly since we just raised tuition by a thousand bucks this year, but hey; I just do what I’m told.

Thanks Ants posted:Get little brass plaques made up for each network switch that you buy, and have a really small pair of curtains in front of it when you first power it up. Perfect. As a bonus, it’ll make them easier to identify if they need service. “The James Quincy Fauntleroy switch is down!”

I don’t know whether to blame Windows or the hardware but it’s annoying as poo poo.

Our wireless networks are named after mathematicians. Riemann for student-owned BYOD, Euler for school- or teacher-owned devices, and Archimedes for testing/non-user-facing stuff. I like it.

One of our B&G guys almost bled to death on the roof a few years ago. Sliced his arm on some protruding metal edge somewhere. His boss found him unconscious up there after thinking “you know, it’s been a while since I heard from Preston” and deciding to check up on him. They always work in pairs now.
