  Testing Services Lab Image

The Testing Services Lab is located in TDS-112.

The name of the current version of the image is TDS-XP-AMD3.GHO, and is 1.42gb in size.  This should be on Ghidora already, under the Images/CFL/TDS folder.

It is made up of a base Windows XP image, with all the service packs and patches installed, and the Internet version of Compass, an ACT testing software for assessment.
The printer is TDS-118-LJ4250tn (10.1.42.188), and should be printing from Tray 2 by default.
The system automatically logs in with the Compass user, and starts the [CompassInternet] testing software.

There are two partitions on the image, the first having the OS and applications.  The second partition has the [CompassInternet] install files, and the printer drivers.

Also, it should be noted that there is no link to the old [CompassWindows] that resided on Glory.  If network communications outside of the college go down, then there is no assessment with the [CompassInternet] software (hence, the Internet portion of the application name). 
There might be a chance to use the old software again, if a new server box is purchased, and stored.  The problem with having it on Glory before was that if anyone was testing while backup operations were underway, the databases would corrupt, and student data was lost.  This is the primary reason we are using the Internet version of Compass.
