What I did today

This took me about 9 to 10 hours today. I didn't take a lunch today. I could have taken a lunch, but I just didn't feel like it. Today, I chose not to take a lunch. I wasn't hungry and I wanted to get things done. Did so.

• Setting up [a laptop] for redeployment.
• Active Directory purge.
• Round robin backup server offsite. Updates. Move files.
• Restage [a machine] for [a user].
• Image and setup [a laptop] for redeployment.
• Install Acrobat on a bunch of Unix systems.
• DHCP for [a user] with Manual changes.
• Misc Tasks that take less than an hour.
• IT meeting.
• Help Rusty a bit with an install.
• Deal with [a user's] printer.
• Join a Linux box to the network.
• Local machine setup 101 with a user.
• Jiggle a cable on a server to bring internal web page back up.

I'm trying to think of something that I learned today. I learned that Ubuntu local user do not like their home folders moved around. Well, I already knew this. I learned that you basically have to set the root password, remove your existing user created at install, move the files, and then create a new user at the command line while pointing it to the new folder to get this done.
