I am Network Manager for Private School in York and think i will make great use of this forum unlike so many others that seem to be full of 10year oldes with no idea.

Hello

I'm a Network Manager at school in Southampton.

I started in August 07 as a temp to cover the then current Network manager's leave in September. I had no IT support background, other than intrest in computers. I learned a lot from the Network Manager in the first two weeks, and then on the eve of his two weeks leave he quit! So what was only supposed to be a months contract has turned out to be much more!

I found Edugeek when looking for answers to some problems I was having, and found it very useful. I have just started to posted too.

I'm just in the progress of upgrading the hardware at the school (replacing all the desktops, servers and laptops - staff and pupils) so its challenging but fun! I have to say I never enjoyed a job so much!

Andrew
Network Manager.

Hi:

I'm Dante. Presently working as technology teacher and (sort of) LAN Administrator at a K to 12 school with a population of about 350 students in northern Manitoba, Canada.

I administer a lab of 25 Macintosh machines, and a few others in various classrooms. Also deal with user accounts on the Novell network, and troubleshooting various machines (Windows and Mac, printers, etc) around the place.

And, yes, I'm a geek! Had the whole apartment networked with NeXT slabs while I was in University, and they were setup to run AFP so I could access them with my PowerBook. Enough said!

Longtime lurker, finally joined.

Network admin at a northern BC school district. We're a rather large Windows network (40 servers, 1500+ workstations) with a school or three of Mac thrown in the mix. Seeing as we're getting budget slashed and layoffs everywhere (including me, ha!) I thought it would be a good time to join up.

FYI: I originally found this site by Googling "SuccessMaker sucks".

hi all,

i work for the 4th largest school in england (thats what i have been told). 2,359 kids, over 200 teaching staff. Network size of around 600+ pc, 12 servers, 40 plus printer and interactive whitebroad and projector in every classroom! theres only 2 of us (network manager has a very bad back and does all he can) so kept very busy!

Got a massive project over the summer with some 200 dell's and network cabling being re-done in the ICT block!

Hi welcome to the forum! Hope to see you around.

If you don’t mind me saying don’t you think that is a small network compared to the size of the school?

[EduTech]

Welcome to the forums! hope to see you around.

echo what FN says that does seem small for the amount of kids n staff lol.

But whats the deal :P if it works and u do what u need to do in school with the minimum amount of kit. better for urselfs
