BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Sites that do not have an Administration File Server are known as “Peer to Peer” sites. They have only Administration Workstations with one workstation that performs the nightly backup process.
NOTE: Peer-to-Peer and Preschool sites should contact the Service Desk (CSC) to log a call for
assistance from an Infrastructure Support Officer (ISO) to set up new computers. There are additional steps and modified scripts that are required to be installed when setting up.
Schools that have an IBM eServer, HP or DELL Server are classified as Administration Network Schools. Admin Staff are able to set up and install their site’s new computers onto their Administration network using these notes.
Important: You must be logged on as Network Manager and use the Manager’s account to set up this PC on the network.
Please read the notes below and follow the Step by Step instructions. The first two pages are preparatory only and not part of the setup notes.
The school administration image has been created with the assumption that schools use DHCP as their IP addressing service. If you are unsure whether your administration network uses DHCP or static IP addressing please follow these steps to determine.
1. At a workstation already on your admin network, right mouse click on My Network Places and choose Properties.
2. Right mouse click on Local Area Connection and choose
Properties.
3. Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and choose
Properties.
4. From there you will be able to determine whether your network:
Obtains an IP address automatically (uses DHCP) Specifies an IP address (uses static IP)
This information will be required for the setup guide notes commencing on Page 5
If you wish to transfer your email messages and address book to your new computer, please follow the instructions on page 2 -
Backing up your Outlook PST file.
Appendices at this end of this documentation include
1. Adding a Workstation to a Network with a Static IP Address 2. Setting up a new Email Profile in LearnLink
BACKING UP YOUR OUTLOOK PST FILE
If you wish to retain your email messages and addresses, then you will need to know the location of your .pst file.
On your OLD WORKSTATION:
To locate the .pst file if you are using Outlook 2003
1. Click Start, Control Panel, and Mail
2. Click on the Data Files box or highlight your profile name and click properties, then click Data
Files
3. If more than one .pst is available, the current one is the one showing as “Mail delivery location” under Comment. Click Settings for the path
4. If it is located in a network drive you will be able to re-link to that path on your new workstation once setup
5. If it is located on a local path, e.g. C:\documents and
settings\default\local settings\Application Data\Microsoft\outlook.pst then you will need to copy that .pst file to a network drive through Windows Explorer. Rename the .pst to the user’s name so that is it easier to locate and does not get overwritten. (It may be necessary to View Hidden Files and Folders to perform this task)
To locate the .pst file if you are using Outlook 2010
1. Open Outlook
2. Choose File > Account Settings > Account Settings, and select the Data Files tab 3. Write down the Path of your .pst file
4. If it is located in a network drive you will be able to re-link to that path on your new workstation once setup
5. If it is located on a local path, e.g. C:\Users\My Documents\Outlook Files then you will need to copy that .pst file to a network drive through Windows Explorer. Rename the .pst to the user’s name so that is it easier to locate and does not get overwritten. (It may be necessary to View Hidden Files and Folders to perform this task)
For assistance in setting up your new Outlook profile, after you have finished setting up the workstation follow Appendix 2
It may also be a good idea to make a note of the current location for My Documents, check what
printers are installed, and save the current user’s Desktop, Favorites & Fonts folders to the
DEPLOYING THE IMAGE FROM THE DVD (RE-IMAGING)
