Started looking at reworking the domain level baseline policies. To this end, i searched for a (preferably free) tool that would diff two group policies, as this would make things a bit easier. Tried one, but gave errors when used. Also came across "Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM) that helps you better manage Group Policy objects (GPOs) in your environment by providing change control, offline editing, and role-based delegation." Downloaded and read up on this a bit, perhaps for a future discussion.

Page 5 HP4100 printer seems to be failing. Worked on diagnosing the error on the LED display, and recearch indicates it might be a bad ROM SIMM. Tried to figure out if there was a way to flash the firmware; no luck. Looked at current HP offerings for a replacement printer.

Worked on DC full backup scripts that backup to a network location. Still not working right.

Worked with Billy to get the Nagios monitoring client installed on hte WolfTech domain controllers, and configured the OIT Nagios server to monitor them. Took a look at the 1.4 version of the "check_ad.exe" component of the Nagios client package, and asked mpunderw to build me another msi with the updated client in it. Want to test this in the WolfTest domain before trying in WolfTech.

Patched print servers.
