Church computers and the network are now part of the Tech Team. We installed a firewall with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) so the treasurer and staff can work from home. Reconfigured QuickBooks and Servant Keeper as server based applications with remote access.
Acquired 12 identical industrial computers donated from a local pharmaceutical company who graciously configured them with fresh legal copies of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office Pro. We setup a domain network with roaming profiles. This means each users desktop experience followed them regardless of which computer they logged into. All computers were configured identically with all user files replicated to the server. These features made problem solving a breeze. If a computer was acting up all we had to do it swap it out with one of our spare computers and the user could pick up from where they left off.
The plan was to replace these computers every two years following the rotation cycle of our donor company. Unfortunately this fizzled out when the member contact left church membership.
