Magenta Construction

9:42AM - 6:19PM (8 Hours 37 Minutes)

9:43AM

Starting a little late, not feeling too well again. I've got to stop working until 8 or 9 o'clock because I don't really, I don't know, I can't do it anymore, I guess. So I'll have to be finishing up earlier so that I can wake up earlier and not feel like crap. But anyways, I'm on now. I responded to an email that Daphne asked me yesterday about the phone. Today I'm going to add Chris's, you know, Vlad's and Paul's, configure those two things. And then I'm going to look at the mobile phone so try to get that out of the way. And hopefully if I have enough time, set up a configuration policy for the computers so I can automate that.

12:05PM

Hopping on a call with Jack from LBM Tech.

1:05PM

Updating all, well adding all the users into the PBX forum system.

1:29PM

All right, I've added all the users assigned extensions, created an extension numbering plan. I deleted all the old users, so I'm gonna have to resend the instructions. There's some straggler extensions, 100, 101, or sorry, 10, 101, 20, Greg's 710, 101 used to be from Phil, 104 used to be Luke, 200. So there's a couple like ones that are just here. They are, you know, Jamie, Luke, Greg, Phil, they're all forwarding to other people. So that's not the issue, it's just, I wanna figure out a way to get them out of this view, just to clean everything up, just so it's easier for me to manage because it gets pretty complicated in a PBX system to do this stuff, so. Okay.

1:30PM

Right now I'm going to log into GDMS and YMCS and I'm going to provision all the phones so that they are consistent, have the correct extensions, and show a correct name on the line so that people know what extension they have. I'm also going to print out stickers with all the user extensions. So actually let me do that now because that's going to help me as well while I'm doing this so that I'm not flipping across pages and I have an easy place to reference the extensions.

2:30PM

Creating that prank list.

3:18PM

All right, all the phones should be cleaned up. Everybody has an extension. Give me a sec to figure out what I gotta do next.

3:31PM

We can make making all the default voicemail recordings now.

3:52PM

All right, all the voicemail recordings are done and I've uploaded all of them now to... I don't think I'm going to clean out the accounts right now, give me one sec, I'll take a look.

3:55PM

I'm going to set up the follow me otherwise people may get confused when adding call forwarding

4:04PM

All right, I've set up all the follow me by default. I should create quick instructions on how to do this, but that's gonna take a couple hours to write up probably. Let me think about this.

4:06PM

I just noticed there's a problem with Daphne's phone, so I'm going to look into it. I think it's because of the way it's connected to the network.

4:55PM

Now it seems I've fixed it.

4:55PM

Check GDMS tomorrow to see if the connection to Daphne's phone is still good or if it entered an abnormal state.

5:04PM

writing everybody an email with their login information.

5:32PM

All right. All the emails are sent. I think we should look over the phone tree at some point in time as well, just to make it a little bit easier to use. I think we have too many menu options, and we should create groups that will be associated with the workgroups and shared mailboxes. That's something that I'm going to have to discuss with a couple other people at the company, how best to structure them.

5:32PM

Restructure phone system and clean up the IVR to make it easier to manage.

5:32PM

I'm going to redo the After Hours IVR system now to update the extensions.

5:38PM

All right, all the user extensions were added to the IVR.

COMPLETED TASK: Data on Greg's computer can stay there.

5:47PM

COMPLETED TASK: Where are the two hard drives that were here before? One was an external drive, one was an actual hard drive.

5:47PM

I found one of the external hard drives that has a terabyte of data on it. I'm going to bring that and connect that to the network share. There is one more hard drive missing that Greg had. I'm going to reach out and see where he might have placed it.

5:48PM

Reach out to Greg and find out where he put the other external hard drive, or just the regular hard drive.

6:14PM

I've cleared out some of the files on the external drive. I have it ready to go back. I'm going to put it in my computer bag so it's ready to go.

6:16PM

qrtr.magentaconstruction.com I need to add this, and it will be a general QR router for everything that we do in Magenta.

6:19PM

All right, I've done pretty much everything that I could for today. Tomorrow I'll have to focus on getting the computers to somehow take the settings from the MDM. Yeah, that's it for now.
