I think this depends a lot the size of the school. Take for example the school I work with, a parochial school of about 700 students and about 50 staff members, one campus with three buildings. We've got about 300 computers and 8 servers, one large core switch and a few access/distribution combined switches. In this environment I'm basically the one man show--I'm sysadmin, second level help desk, I run a student technology club that meets every week (which I would say is similar to the guy teaching a networking class, yet mine is only once a week) and I do all of the hardware troubleshooting, new equip. installation. I've got two helping me, one on the software side and and one on the hardware side but most things end up coming to me. In this situation we are not part of a district and run our own network. I think when you get out to much bigger networks like with multi-school district networks then it gets much more complicated. With being close to the source locally it would be much easier for me to pull of a project like this guy is asking about wheras in a large campus like a college or something it would be more problematic as there are a lot more aspects involved and things that could go wrong. Though I'm in an entirly novell based server environment so I may be biased in regards to viruses since my servers never get bothered by them--its kinda like macs and all of my windows pc's wipe all changes at shutdown except for staff machines which are isolated into a separate VLAN from the student machines (also separated via ACLs preventing traffic from crossing between the vlans, all vlans are only allowed to directly access the server and interenet gateway vlans in my setup).

I'm in the U.S. too, but the only networking class I've been in definitely wasn't taught by the sysadmin. Matt Jim Popovitch wrote:

Here in the states it's usually the networking class teacher that
stays
late and doubles as the sysadmin. :-) -Jim P. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.grok.org.uk/full-disclosure-charter.html Hosted and sponsored by Secunia - http://secunia.com/
