Windows Update

All Internet computers should have Automatic Windows Updates. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/306525 for instructions on configuring.

When maintaining computers, run Windows Update manually to make sure everything is up-to-date.

Install all critical/important updates, but check with Rick before installing any optional updates.

Don't worry about Windows Updates for computers on the intranet.

Trend Micro

Run a full scan and save the results to h:\wwwroot\it\computers\scans\IPAddress.txt.

Disk Cleanup

Click Start, then Run, 'cleanmgr.exe /d c'

For more advanced information:

Drive Mapping

Note: There will be changes for drive mapping domain PCs in the future.

Drive mapping scripts are currently at H:\Harper\Connection Magic

MAP.bat unmaps drives (to make sure there are no errors when mapping), it then maps selected drives and runs continue.bat on H: or J: once connected.

SERVER.bat runs continue.bat on H: or J:, UNMAP.bat unmaps all potential drives.

For usage information of connect.py, navigate to its folder (Usually C:\scripts\), open a command prompt, and type 'python connect.py --help'.

Miscellany

Try to maintain each computer monthly:

• Use the Leave Calendar to help schedule maintenance on computers.
  You can also contact personnel directly to schedule maintenance.
• For computers assigned to personnel, always let them know when you're going to do maintenance.

If Excel gives a warning, "The file you are trying to open, , is in a different format than specified by the file extension," follow the ExtensionHardening instructions at https://www.extracomm.com/Extracomm/FAQ.NSF/0/3ACF4AF056A7790848257AD400279396.

All Internet computers should have an AG Services Database icon on the Desktop, pointing to h:\agdb\agdb.exe. It should not prompt you to run. If it does:

1. Open Internet Options.
2. Choose Security, then Local intranet, then Sites.
3. Click Advanced.
4. Add 128.192.142.240.

Access should be one of the following:

• Internet
• Intranet
• Open Usage
• Offline
• Not found

All computers should have the same administrator log-in password. You don't need to know user passwords, but you can reset them as needed by logging in as administrator.

New employees can request a UGA MyID from http://eits.uga.edu/access_and_security/myid/. Note that this works in Firefox only!.

If you find any computers not on this list, let Rick know.
