A ticket went out to a vendor again... The users complain that events they sync between clients are missing data fields at random, and the server log states that the server is "unable to get expired field from client <computername>" at the exact time that the users complain. The vendor swears up and down that that log entry shouldn't even be logged at error level, it should be info/debug and is completly irrelevant to the issue at hand. Five times now this "irrelevant" log entry shows up with the exact same timestamp and client name that was attempting to send the data the others didn't recieve. It's commonly the only log entry in the same HOUR that the error occured. Totes unrelated guys, lets dig into this SQL error log entry 2 hours later instead.  (Client-server sync doesn't even involve the database  )

Please share this script. If I have to try and walk a person through bringing up a command prompt and typing "hostname" one more time I'm gonna snap.

If I could I would, it was something I cooked up at my last job and forgot to copy when I left. It basically involved grabbing the hostname and then making a dialog box. I am utterly poo poo with Powershell so there's a huge chance someone will be along soon having spent about 20 seconds typing something up that runs first time and works perfectly.

Gotta be able to play Angry Birds as Rome burns... edit for content: A manager poked his head into a meeting where we were discussing some failover scenarios of an application environment. In this particular case we were talking about a pair of NAS devices primarynas and secondarynas set up so that primarynas is read/writable and replicates to secondarynas which is read-only. Without knowing anything about this nas pair other than what I mentioned above, I proposed a solution where \\primarynas\share was mapped to X: and during an outage a script would automatically execute as local service containing: code:So he got pissed because he had to refer to a NAS share as X: instead of \\nasname because he saw my scribbles on a white board during a brainstorming session. Goddammit I hate it when managers come behind the curtain of the great and powerful Oz. If we gave him a solution that said, "Here's the X: drive. It'll always be up" I bet this would be a non issue. Instead he's getting all pissed off at a half-thought-out solution to a problem he barely understands while tossing out "CLOUDCLOUDCLUD!"

So schools open again next week in the city I work for. Some of the teachers are back. We get a "loud humming sound" and "no internet" report by phone. So we check it out. the router and all the switches have the fans on max. We found THREE switching loops in rooms. Yes lets plug a consumer grade switch you bough into all 4 wall ports then all 4 computers into that. That is NOT going to cause an issue. Oh I have a red blue and 2 grey cables lets loop the wall back into itself and link 2 computers together! And the last one they have 2 drops that are just cables from the ceiling (because our electrification that runs our stuff is lazy). Well 1 is for the teacher computer and the other is for the student computer, but she now has 4 student computers. She plugged both into a switch our predecessors provided. The last IT people were fired for being incompetent. I think enabling spanning tree is on the list of things to do now that we know its disabled. But we have so much other stuff to do its just not completely doable. I mean we also need to rebuild the domain its called CITYNAME that's it. Not CITYNAME. or CITYNAME.LAN just CITYNAME . You cannot have a DC newer then server 2008 because of this. Server 2008 R2 yells at you about the domain name. I really really hate the old group. Before you say getout boss totally gets it and is the one that got rid of the old staff. We just have to deal with stuff our job is to fix the mess. An understanding boss makes the mess tolerable. It's also fun to see her face when we tell her some of the messed up configs. I really want to just redo our entire network its all kinds of wrong. My favorite is our exchange server was set to allow up to 1TB attachments, we set it to 10MB, but apparently sometimes police need to send large things so its at 300MB now. We probably should look into setting attachments by group or something, but we are still understaffed while fixing this mess so its kind of fix things that are broken then fix things that will become problems if you fix everything currently broken.

A toner came in... Then another one. Then another one. Then another one. My company contracts our printer services out to Dell. As part of the contract, they fulfill our toner needs, but all they do is check every few weeks for a low toner and send one out without actually checking the click count. I don't print much so my toner has been 'replace toner now' for months. Result? I've gotten a brand new toner every 3 weeks for the last 8 months.

Well 1 is for the teacher computer and the other is for the student computer, but she now has 4 student computers. She plugged both into a switch our predecessors provided. Steps for enabling spanning tree; 1. Pick root bridge/set root bridge (spanning-tree vlan/mst [vlan/msti] priority root) 2. Turn on spanning tree (spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst/mst depending on your requirements) 3. Wait between 1 and 5 seconds depending on the scale of your network The concept that you have a production network not running spanning-tree is a joke. Even if you don't have a single loop in your entire network, and every port is perfectly controlled there is 0 reason not to run MST (or PVST+ if you don't have more than 50[?] vlans).

abigserve posted:1. Pick root bridge/set root bridge (spanning-tree vlan/mst [vlan/msti] priority root) You're assuming all the switching equipment is from Cisco.  Joking aside, everyone's assessment is correct; there's no particular reason not to have spanning tree and port security enabled, and every reason to have them enabled.

Or if someone hasn't enabled STP then they probably haven't set a console password either. Edit: Are we due a 'gently caress HP' yet? They've moved everything around on their support website, again. Now if I enter the model number of a ProCurve switch it takes me to the support page, and on the firmware tab: quote:Downloads for this product are not available through this website. Obviously neither the Enterprise or Home and Home Office pages know this product exists. Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 09:29 on Aug 29, 2013 |
