IT Report: Week one at new job

So I’m going to start this off quite simply and succinctly. I am so enamored with OS X Server and the Apple Remote Desktop tool that returning to a Windows-based network literally makes me want to cry. This is the greatest server setup I’ve ever dealt with. It’s amazing, simple, stable and all around just great. Other than that I’m dealing with the typical getting systems updated and correctly configured.
Right now I’m in planning stages to overhaul the account management and equipment management policies. So far it’s going swimmingly and I hope it continues to go as smoothly.

Overall after the first week I’m totally thrilled about the place. My boss is great, my Corp. IT Director is great, my tech Mike is awesome and everyone else I work with seem excited to see what I can do about cleaning up the network and making it a faster, more reliable stable one.

In other news, still looking for a house down there and so to decrease the costs of a car rental and wear and tear on my friendships with Jason and Angela I’m going to relocate temporarily to a extended stay hotel until I find a house (I figure this will also motivate me that much more to find a place quickly since I miss the my family like crazy plus hotels are spendy :D

I’ll try to get a more verbose posting up with a daily rundown but that might end up moving to its own blog at dreamflicks.com
