00.Enable Accessibility

Run this once per computer and then reboot.

01.Login student user

This will log in the student user from the login window.

This adds exceptions for the TestNav sites to run in Safari.

02b.Chrome exceptions

This adds exceptions for the TestNav sites to run in Chrome.

03.Java exceptions

This creates Java exceptions using exception.sites.  Only use this method if you cannot deploy a DeploymentRuleset.jar.  Also be aware that I have had mixed results with this and it really hasn’t been working well since Pearson has updated TestNav.

This opens the System Check site so you can quickly see which computers it is or isn’t working on.

05.Click “Start” button

Click the start button on the System Check site so you don’t have to touch each computer manually.
