Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 55 | THe next survey is up and running (apologies for the delay ... I was trying to actually have a life ... I'd heard that it was fun, but it seemed over-rated to me) How many desktops do you support? I am not looking for laptops (even under a laptops for students scheme) or even admin desktops ... just plain old classroom or IT Suite boxes (or terminals for those that want to pick hairs!) |

Rep Power: 9 | I didn't realise people had so many desktop computers... I'd say my desktops only take up 10% of my standard week both hardware and software wise (at least it has been that way until recently because I am now replacing and imaging over half of those, plus I'll end up with quite a few more). |

![]() | there are two of us, add to that the 146 staff laptops (which cause more grief than all the desktops put together) |

Blog Entries: 12 Rep Power: 33 | I only have 80 to manage, plus 80 laptops and admin machines (plus printers and the like). But this number will be growing soon as we are replacing a room this summer and the old ones will become thin terminals so I will then have 110 desktops... Do other schools do this? Use the old machines after they have been 'replaced' - by putting them around the school? |

Rep Power: 18 | Errr, at a guess here, as I've not got exact numbers. around 350 student desktop machines, about 80 or so staff admin machines. Then add onto that, 10 servers, 4 technician desktops, around 90 student laptops, and about 160 or so staff laptops, 26 wireless network access points, about 60 switches in 11 cabinets and more cabling that you can shake a stick at! |

Blog Entries: 1 Rep Power: 67 | I presume this is per desktop per school, yes? If so, practically none. I only really do servers and networking now. Granted if there's an emergency other the other guys need a hand I can muck in and help though. |

Rep Power: 0 | Main school 350 desktops 120 laptops 4 win 2003 servers 1 G4 Os9 server each feeder (shared support - although I seem to do most of it!) 80 desktops 60 laptops 1 Win NT4 or 2003 server Total: 830 desktops 480 laptops 11 servers 7 sites. On my own. Fortunately the councils comms department run most of the network hardware so switches etc are mostly covered by them unless it's an emergency. |

I don't look after a big school, so I think we only have about 60 desktops - but this number is growing all the time. | |
