Title: San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Information Technology Department Network Diagnostic Tool Server
Presenter:Fernando Garcia

Abstract
Currently San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Information
Technology Department does not have a way to monitor network configurations
and performance testing other than manual tests.  The time it takes to run
theses manual test can be time-consuming and the data is not collected so
these test are done in a case-by-case basis.
Building and implementing a Network Diagnostic Tool server can solve this 
problem. The NDT is designed to quickly and easily identify a specific set
of conditions that are known to impact network performance.  An NDT server
can determine: duplex mismatch conditions on Ethernet/FastEthernet links, 
incorrectly set TCP buffers in the user's computer, or problems with the 
local network infrastructure. Lastly, the test results may be easily 
emailed to the appropriate administrator to assist in the problem 
resolution phase.  Implementing this server will allow the department to 
continuously monitor the computers on the network and diagnose the problems
easily.
