We have ongoing problems with the student computers due to their age, the age of the network and the sheer volume of use.
Here is a list: #22 is awaiting parts for repair.
#16 and #6 apparently lost power supply, but had an easy remedy of unplugging and reconnecting to the power strip. (Sometimes turning off the power strip will produce the same result, but it usually requires an unplug/replug.)
Losing control of the mouse and keyboard is a known issue with DeepFreeze that I think I've written of before. Remedy: do a cold reboot. Wait to see if the computer does an automatic reboot within a few minutes after being turned on again. If it doesn't reboot yet another time and let it go through the automatic reboot. This usually does the trick, but it's time consuming.
Most of the downstairs computers and the two near my office are on the GSU AD. If students have trouble logging into computers in the pods, send them to a computer that's already on the new AD. Then their GSU credentials will work.
