I'd like to thank Alejandro, Benazeer and Jason Carver for help
installing and deploying the new deathtongue. We used the standard
installation procedure to install Pismere and later installed Office.
We ran into a bit of a problem: managed software was not
installed after the GUI part of the Windows setup concluded, although
it was installed after we next rebooted.
We were unable to convince the administrator account to have any
possword other than the default profroot; if you change the password,
it changes back at next reboot.
A passwordless sipb0 account was created as a local user; local policy
was edited to deny network access to this user.
The local administrators group was modified to add hartmans, asedeno.
As part of the deployment, we installed the extra memory and DVD ROM
drive we bought. The cdrom drive removed from the machine is setting
in the DVD ROM box on top of old deathtongue. There is also an sound
cable sitting in that box; I need to ask Jason Carver whether there
was a sound cable already in the machine or whether he forgot to
connect the DVD's sound output to the internal audio.
None of the boxes--the computer's box, the memory box, nor the DVD ROM
box--appeared to have packing slips, so I'm assuming that these were
already given to nim as the computers were received.
