New Computers

We have received the new computers for 2011/2012. This includes 10 iMacs and 5 MBP's for the 3rd floor hallway and NATLab and 8 mac mini's to drive the hallways screens. Joseph is in the process of preparing them for prestage imaging with Casper.

Workstation 14

The MacPro Workstation 14 is currently in the Apple Genius Bar for repair. This computer has been particularly buggy since we bought it, and most recently it has failed to reimage using netboot/netinstall, Casper Imaging, and from an OS X boot disk. They are running extensive hardware diagnostic tests to determine if it needs to be replaced.
