Microsoft 2010 Product Activation

ATTENTION FOLKS,

We are still trying to perform activations of the Microsoft Products across the computer labs, but we may not be able to get to them all before xmas.

If you are needing to use Office, you have a few options:
1)  Use Office 2011 on Mac
2)  Use Office 2007 on Windows (we have 2 versions of office installed on the computers, 2010 is the one that requires activation, 2007 does not)
3)  Use Office Online via Outlook.com (log-in with your username@lesley.edu), then click "Documents"

We apologize for the inconveniences this has caused you.. but please understand we are working diligently to fix them for the future.
If you need to talk to someone, please feel free to yell at Richard Phung, the Labs & Classrooms Coordinator at UT by emailing him:  rphung@lesley.edu

or post on our facebook.

WINTER MAINTENANCE BEGINS!

First Quarter Maintenance has begun!

So, while the majority of folks are away during the winter interim, we at the Labs & Classrooms office have been diligently working on getting the labs updated for the Spring 2011 semester.
This is a major overhaul of all systems… basically, pressing the "reset" button on everything.
This includes:

1. Re-Imaging the computer labs --- this involves fresh, installed-from-scratch computer configurations for ALL of the computer labs, kiosks, and computer classrooms.  You can see our maintenance schedule for these areas here:
   http://lesleylabs.blogspot.com/p/maintenance-schedule.html
   
   BEWARE.. while we are flipping these computers, they will be unusable (OFF LIMITS).  Please refer to the signs *posted outside the doors to the computer labs* and the schedule.
   
   The configuration of these machines will be posted in a later note.
   To get up-to-date notices on the actual maintenance procedure(s), please checkout our twitter feed:
   http://www.twitter.com/lesleylabs
   
   
2. Cleaning and repairing keyboards & peripherals. --- we will be scrubbing-down and replacing keyboards and mice.  Also, we're adding brand-new mouse-pads and security hardware.
   
   
3. To put to bed malfunctioning A/V concerns, we are going through all of the digital labs and classrooms and are manually testing all peripheral components in these spaces.  This involves rigorously using the DVD/VHS combination players, Auxillary Audio Inputs, Demo Stations (where available), and computer inputs in ALL areas.  We are also replacing cables, restocking cables, and repairing connections (the little connector pieces).  In addition, we are balancing the audio amplifiers, color-correcting + focusing the projectors… *for brightness and image sharpness.

Overall, this maintenance will take the better portion of the next 3 weeks (Starting January 3 until January 21)… We appreciate your patience during these times.

That's right, folks.. we are reformatting the computers in the computer labs at AIB. This is a fresh start for the Fall 2009. This is a painstaking process that begins with a completely fresh installation of MacOS (or other OS), and a piece-by-piece installation of the software for the academic curriculum(s) that use these facilities... In addition, we install supplemental programs (tools, codecs, apps, etc) to aid in general productivity.


Inevitably, there will be troubles with the selection of software...

IF you are a FACULTY, STAFF, or STUDENT that will be using the digital studios in the Fall 2009 and would like to request SPECIAL SOFTWARE, please do not hesitate to come by the office and talk about it. *** THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING SOFTWARE REQUESTS WILL BE THE WEEK OF AUGUST 10, 2009... at this time, the labs will be prepped for school to start.

PLEASE do not wait if you have special classroom needs!
