CSE Chair's Sysadmin Tasklist

• Debug/repair or replace conference room table microphone setup. If debug: individually test microphones and buy replacements as needed. Test cabling from table to computer, is power to mixer missing etc.
• Add sensors and a status website that can tell us when interior doors are unlocked and/or propped open, e.g. for 233 or 221 or 213.
• Add a separate print server machine that can print to the department printer. Fix it so that the Department Printer can be printed from authenticated CS faculty/staff/TAs/RAs on NMT-Weblogin. Fix it so that we (CSE) has accounting of the pages printed on that printer. Control access, for example, of who can print in color.
• Is it possible from CS space to add cameras for additional useful portions of Cramer?
• Cramer 227. Make it more usable and useful
  • re-arrange furniture, request hardware as needed to partition space if further partitioning is desired.
  • Add additional Linux machines.
• Put up on our website information regarding how best to connect to department login services.
• Touchscreen Table: put it on some wheels, or perhaps a low rolling dolly.
• Touchscreen Table: check its worn-from-dragging power cord, replace if needed, possibly with something more protected. Maybe drill a hole and mount a 3-prong power slot so we can plug-in in a more normal way.
• Modify the outside-conference-room digital monitor so that it serves up content from a public URL/location, such as www.cs.nmt.edu/announce/, or selected CSE Discord channels such as Events and Job-Announcements.
• replace the CSE office digital photoframe with a setup equivalent to the outside-conference room digital monitor. Shop and buy the largest vertical-oriented monitor that will fit in the windowsill. Stick a Raspberry Pi or some such on it.
• stand up and maintain infohost.cs.nmt.edu in a way that it stays on and available; provide credentials to Dr. J
• stand up and maintain mgmt.cs.nmt.edu and it.cs.nmt.edu; why does it.cs.nmt.edu forward over to account.cs.nmt.edu? Actually, there was previously an mgmt.nmt.edu that ITC is waiting for us to takeover. Work with ITC to direct mgmt.nmt.edu to mgt.cs.nmt.edu
• implement a server checker that notifies us (sysadmins and dr. j) when CSE systems go down, especially the cs web server.
