New Core Migration: Financial Aid

Leave a comment
Last night the IP range for Financial Aid was reconfigured to accommodate more workstations and printers in Kerr.
Cyder/IP change
Old ranges:
10.214.18.5 – 10.214.18.20 dynamic
10.214.18.21 – 10.214.18.84 static
New ranges:
10.214.18.5 – 10.214.18.55 dynamic
10.214.18.56 – 10.214.19.253 static
The result of this move was moving all hosts in bulk up into the new static range. Additionally, this new IP space will accommodate all workstations and printers in the CN_StudentAdmin security domain. This will become more relevant as we migrate these departments to the new core.
Printer change
Old IP printers were removed from workstations and replaced with new print queue printers.
Printer address: \\iscs-printq\KAd-108-Ricoh-MP-201
Printer IP: 10.214.18.90
Printer driver: PCL6 Universal v4.6
Security group: CN_Printers_KAd 108 Ricoh MP 201
ONID GPO: TSS – Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
TSS GPO: Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
Printer address: \\iscs-printq\KAd-220C-HP-LaserJet-4200TN
Printer IP: 10.214.18.87
Printer driver: HP Universal Printing PCL 6 (v6.0.0)
Security group: CN_Printers_KAd 220C HP LaserJet 4200TN
ONID GPO: TSS – Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
TSS GPO: Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
Printer address: \\iscs-printq\KAd-220C-Ricoh-MP-5002
Printer IP: 10.214.18.89
Printer driver: PCL6 Universal v4.6
Security group: CN_Printers_KAd 220C Ricoh MP 5002
ONID GPO: TSS – Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
TSS GPO: Printer Deployment – Financial Aid
Note: The GPOs only apply to the department’s users OU and domain users in the security group above.
Resolved Issues
IP printers were supposed to be removed automatically but weren’t on many systems. We resolved this manually given there weren’t many machines.
The reason for this is many printers were installed incorrectly with port names like 10.214.18.21_1. This likely occurred because an existing port wasn’t used when setting up printers. I’m looking into a way to accommodate for this.
Unresolved Issues
Just about every machine we logged into with our User+ account resulted in the error below. Most folks were running Office 2010 which could be related. I will submit a ticket for investigation.

Print server implementation for Financial Aid

Leave a comment

CN Financial Aid Customers,

Telecom will be expanding the network space you currently reside in to accommodate more workstations and printers in Kerr. Additionally, the Community Network will be migrating your printers to our print server and deploying new printer configurations to your workstations.

When: Tonight, starting after 5:00 PM

What do I need to do?

Please leave your computer turned on and logged off; the easiest way to do this is to simply restart your computer before you leave for the day. Note that your first login after the migration might be slow as the new printer configs take effect.

Services affected:

– All CN supported computers running Windows or Windows Virtual Machine software.

– All networked printers.

How is printing going to change?

– Your printers will still be available to you as before but will show up differently (see attached image).

– You may need to select a new default printer and reconfigure your printing preferences.

– Printers will no longer be manually installed. If there’s a change to existing printers or new printers are added, only the print server needs to be updated and everyone will automatically get the change.

Community Network technicians will be available on-site tomorrow morning to address any issues or questions you may have.

Thank you for your patience while we apply these changes.

Your CN Management Team:  Scott Emery, Lucas Turpin, Lucas Friedrichsen, Chris Sinnett

Windows 10: Updated ISOs and MAK keys

Leave a comment

New Windows 10 ISOs have been uploaded to \\software.oregonstate.edu\software\Microsoft Desktop OS\Windows 10. These are the official release ISOs from the Microsoft licensing site.

New MAK keys have been added to KeePass as well. These keys should only be used on systems that can’t be on the domain or won’t be able to check in within 180 days. Please note that the current KMS server will not activate Windows 10. Work is being done on the back end to fix that and a notification will be sent once that’s completed.

Windows 10: Updated ISOs

Leave a comment

I downloaded updated ISOs for both RTM builds of Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit and put them up here: \\software.oregonstate.edu\software\Microsoft Desktop OS\Windows 10

The two versions are the Current Branch (CB.10240…) and Long Term Services Branch (LTSB.10240…). I’m assuming we’ll want to install the CB…here’s a good explanation: http://windowsitpro.com/windows-10/microsoft-describes-new-business-servicing-branches-updating-windows-10.
