Since I work in the IS field, we all know how it is, no real work, sitting in front of the monitor and get fatter.
Well, I recently volunteered for the IP merge project. And my "plate" is full of work to do now. (which explains why I don't post as much crap as I used to.)
Due to the various mergers, we are moving every branches to the same subnet. We can only do that after-market hours, so I don't
show up to work until 1pm, and work until about 9pm everyday.
Basically, I show up and start doing spreadsheets of the branches we're doing that night, get the old ips and figuring out the new ips for the servers, network printers. We're doing four branches a night and six branches on Saturday (Yeah, I have to work Saturday now).
During the change, I "PCDUO" into both servers at the branch, reconfigure ips for the network printers on the printer server and on the jet direct card; turn off DHCP, then finally change the IP on the member server and then the BDC.
They test the NEW ISDN on the new network at this time, if it doesn't work, we have to revert back to the old setting. If it works, we go forward and move all the devices to the new switch.
Tedious isn't it? (I gave you guys the short version..... )
Anyone else doing actual work in the IS field??
