nielsm posted:Don't filter on DistinguishedName like that, if you're only interested in objects under a specific OU use the -SearchBase parameter instead. (Is that a real OU in your environment? Do you want that in a post on SA?) At this point I don't care, but thanks for the thought. -searchbase keeps returning that I can't search outside our admin DC, whereas filtering distinguishedname at least killed that error. I'll give your code a shot and see if I don't hang myself. Edit, yep, same error, supplied distinguishedname must belong to one of the following partitions:'CN=Configuration,DC=Foo,DC=ca , CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=Foo,DC=ca , DC=ADMIN,DC=Foo,DC=ca , DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=NorQuest,DC=ca , DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=ADMIN,DC=Foo,DC=ca'. What I need is on the EDU DC. And yeah, I guess I do care, so I'm going to go back and edit the DC out. Bunni-kat fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Aug 25, 2017 |

But if you do the Filter on DN does that actually find any of the relevant objects? From the error when you use -SearchBase it sounds like your PowerShell AD module can't actually access any other OUs at all.

Telecom saga continues... CenturyLink fails for the 3rd time.. But finally got more to the story. No one ever bothered to submit the order to "engineering" so no one ever bothered to even try running the line to the building. They finally figured this out after the 3rd attempt at installation. At this point neither provider is going to have service active by opening day (and we ordered back in in the first week of June!). In fact neither provider has even started the work to run lines to our building. So I am having to bring in a CradlePoint router from Verizon Wireless just so we can get internet service! Hopefully they manage not to gently caress that up too.

Once that was put in, import-csv plus your script worked perfectly. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR THE HELP. I worked through lunch bashing my head figuring this out, so I get to go home an hour early.

Is there something in chrome and certificates that makes it so much different than loving internet explorer? I have been in the process of properly assigning certs to admin consoles and such for https, but for some reason chrome hates them but internet explorer sees them as being fine.

People really are helpless. I'm on probably 2 calls per week where we end up sitting around doing absolutely nothing until the meeting organizer arrives, and that person is invariably late because meetings run long and things happen. It's not their fault. We know why we're having this meeting, do we REALLY need the PM to open the discussion with the questions we all know are coming?

Are they actually meetings that need to take place and can't be solved by a few emails, phone calls, chat messages or whatever - or are they meetings that managers use to fill their days with and draw out to the allocated duration?

Chrome recently removed support for certificates that use the deprecated CommonName field only, and don't have a SubjectAlternativeName. Most guides out there for setting up an internal CA don't mention this, especially since it's a total pain in the rear end to do in OpenSSL (you have to either add the SAN entries in openssl.cnf or pass them through as envars). It's fairly painless when requesting a cert through AD CS though if your CA is on Windows.

Herewith, the end of Marvin Yellowstache and this whole lovely environment. (I was let loose on my own Wednesday afternoon and there's so much shadow IT going on here it's ridiculous. There is at least one case where someone brought their old personal laptop, stuck it under a desk, and made it a fileshare with the aid of an external drive. Which of course is now full of files with names like Zootopia.2016.720p.BluRay.DTS.x264-FuzerHD.mkv.) A few things I learned today: - The proper way to plug in a new device, such as a USB mouse, to a docking station is to do the following: -- Shutdown -- Undock -- Plug in the new thing -- Redock -- Boot up - Wireless keyboards and mice are useless because only one or two people in a cubicle cluster can have them, otherwise they create "destructive interference" which leads to people typing and mousing on each other's computers. Therefore to be fair no one is allowed to have them. (Plenty of people have them.) - Programs with installers usually install viruses* along with the program. But if you can download the program just as an .exe which doesn't install, just runs, it's perfectly safe and doesn't have a virus. (*: Which, to be fair, is too true these days.) Today, though. Today... Marvin will sometimes close a ticket even before he does the work so the SLA doesn't time out. (The SLAs there are ridiculous, I have to admit. 4 working hours to close a high priority ticket sounds good on paper until you get three of them at once, because any work stoppage is high priority, right?) That is not a thing that I do, which meant a few of mine timed out. That led to me having a friendly little chat with our boss (who I only met at the interview) about what an SLA is and why it is very important to actually do work. Then... Agrikk posted:throw you under the bus at every opportunity until you are fired for cause sfwarlock posted:(This bit him in the rear end about 3 pm today when he handed me a laptop with the post-it "update the bios" on it. It shut off mid update. It is now a paperweight. I looked up the ticket. "Randomly turning itself off." is the key phrase there.) Guess who got bus-undersided for this paperweighted laptop. Which he claims he cannot recover any data off of. (Knowing this guy, he probably opened up the hard drive, scrubbed the platter with a wet wipe, dried with compressed air, then broke out the sata-to-ide converter to try plugging it into a 40-pin IDE cable. ) That led to another fun conversation in the mid afternoon. While I was on the train on the way home, my phone rang. It was the dude from the company that got me in here. He reiterated all of the above and then added that the client said I knew very little about IT and had a bad attitude on top of that. It's not my first gig from him, so he is aware of how off base they are, but he said he has no choice given that feedback but to remove me from the contract. Gladdest I ever was to be fired, I just hope that it doesn't affect my ability to get future gigs from that company.

At least your half-completed pod showed up on the ejector rails for you to bail before you got really stuck there. That place sounds like it's exactly one cryptolocker away from insolvency.

Marvin will work 'really hard' on the issue and recover the data a few days from now, proving how awesome he is, and how much of a good idea it was to fire that rear end in a top hat sfwarlock.

What the flying gently caress Sorry for comparing you to turtlicious, and it sucks you got fired for essentially being too competent. I feel like some of Marvin's behaviors have been learned to save his rear end from management willing to fire him for not immediately knowing something without googling it.

poo poo pissing me off: support contracts. Doing budgets for next year, it would literally cost us less to mothball our core switches and replace them with a new-gen stack with 3/year support than it would be to re-up. Gave both quotes to my director, I don't care either way, operational or capital. I'd honestly rather just build a stack of new switches, I get more 10gb and 40/80gb ports this way. edit: I guess I can stack these cores on top of the HP cores that are still in my cube. I'll build a tower of cores.

To add to this (and depending on how fuckered your AD infrastructure is), you know how Everything* In PowerShell Is An Object? Half of everything can be a drive, with New-PSDrive and the ActiveDirectory module as the provider. You can specify a domain and domain controller, map it as an AD drive, and treat the users, computers, and groups as objects, while the OUs are kind of similar to folders. Walk down the tree and get-aduser! Create a new group in the OU you're currently in! The possibilities are limitless! The possibilities are also objects. code:This may not be worth it if you don't have a Active Directory forest that's aspiring to its leafy namesake, like I do. BUT IT'S FUCKIN' SWEET.

I was kidding, I'm bad at it so I don't blame you for not realizing. There's no way it's for customers' benefit. It's so they can churn out more hardware to keep sales numbers up. If it was to our benefit then your still-produced cores would be cheaper to re-up.

That's a pretty good point. I'm more concerned that this supervisor isn't submitting the new employee through the onboarding process implemented early this year. I guess this one is worthwhile to raise a stink over. Wish me luck, this is the same supervisor I mouthed off to a few weeks ago. He's gonna get real tired of me!
