A ticket came in today regarding inability to connect to the corporate wireless network... A colleague fiddled with the laptop for a bit and ended up having the guy connect via ethernet because he needed to do things. So later this afternoon I grabbed a couple of laptops off the shelf to configure to send out to a remote site. I noticed that they couldn't get connected via wireless either. Upon closer inspection I see that they cannot authenticate to the network. Hmm. Oh. A couple of days ago our boss shut down the Cisco WCS server which also happened to be the RADIUS server responsible for authenticating connections to the corporate wireless network.  So tomorrow after I get done at the dentist I get to reconfigure the controller to point to a new RADIUS server. Yay!

This is what I'm constantly terrified of. "Oh, this server has x, y, and z roles, they're all migrated, we can get rid of it." except there was l, m, and q that were never documented. (sfwarlock) as far as i can tell it ain't doing poo poo anymore since (redacted) is now hitting $OTHER_SERVER (sfwarlock) but given this environment, there's probably some undocumented skunkworks black ops production-critical process on it.

After playing catch-up on the thread for the last week; blackswordca lives in my city and I'm currently looking for work. It's almost enough to make me cry myself to sleep in terror  In other news I will seriously take you for beers blacksword or donate you some liquor or something. Dear god. edit for content: Currently fighting with an ubuntu server that refuses to get out to the web. It can ping just fine, can resolve DNS just fine, but will not get over TCP or anything. Currently attempting to remove the SVI for the vlan (which houses only this server and one other management machine) and use the internal interface of the firewall as the gateway. Essentially just turning the switch into a dumb forwarder. This after fighting with WSUS all morning. ChubbyThePhat fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Mar 27, 2014 |

Install Windows posted:MUMPS was designed for use in a hospital environment, there was currently at least one guy still alive who was over 120 years old, so the start date should be set for before he was born because negative time values are icky or something and the designer wanted the oldest guy alive to be able to be admitted to the hospital's systems with his true age.

Got it fixed. There was a redundancy mismatch between the firewall and HSRP. Seems this came about as a design failure from a few months back that got overlooked. Time to go home and play videogames all night

I'd say that if you have a system that you know backing itself up somewhere, you should know where it's backing up to as well. On a more realistic note, there's only so long you can hang onto old hardware before it either gets trashed or repurposed. "But someone might come back in a year and complain" doesn't really fly on most bosses' radars when the Marketing department needs a new FTP server and there's nothing left in the budget because you blew it all on iPads.

Three tickets came in. - Please confirm the IPS has been updated to prevent this 0-day exploit with no patch that was released 3 hours ago. - Please confirm you have applied an update to make sure malware cannot be executed. I am not providing any actual detail, just the fact that there is some malware somewhere. - Make the IPS drop connections to our webseals so the poorly configured POSes don't maintain nonactive connections and crash the whole system again. Hmm let's see. No, no, this is not a thing that an IPS can do. Job well done Rend!

So I found out today that a couple of our production servers crashed for some unknown reason a few days ago. We were not notified by our server monitoring software, either. Turns out that our monitoring software requires our application servers to be running in order to notify us when they crash.

Not really a ticket, just a really scummy email from Cisco/Meraki. I did the Meraki "free AP for watching a sales presentation and talking to a rep" today. I even stuck around and listened to the whole thing even though it was basically someone reading the website and demonstrating it. Before I could even call the rep afterward, he emailed me to say "sorry, I see here that you didn't show up. If you want to sign up for one in the future let me know." I replied that I was there (and could prove it since I asked a question and took a screenshot of the reply), and of course he's no longer answering. Aside from an obvious ploy to avoid having to send the actual AP because they probably got more people attending than they expected, I'm not sure what to make of it. I know most companies are lovely on a regular basis, but what the gently caress?

Sonic Dude posted:Not really a ticket, just a really scummy email from Cisco/Meraki. That's weird. Getting my AP was painless. A simple confirmation of my shipping address over the phone. In fact like 6 months later they sent a follow up e-mail asking if I had any questions about the webinar and please confirm my address for (another) free AP. I didn't take the second AP, but they didn't seem scummy at all. In fact trying to give them away basically.

It might work well now, but if it ramps up and you need help, it might be awkward to ask for more staff when you only do 1/20 the industry standard workload according to your metrics. Tickets will also help you analyze large scale events better than "hey, anyone else seem to be getting a lot of calls about FooMunger throwing errors?" Sorry, we do enter every item that we work on into our system just so that we can give the client info on what we have done each year. We have had the contract for around 15 years and they reup on a 5 year contract each time. We are loved by our clients which is pretty nice.

So last week I posted here about updating the iLOs on ~400 systems because of some goofy poo poo causing panics and reboots. Well we just got sent this today: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/si...ette.cachetoken Distillation: If you are running an HP DL380 G7 with a Linux-based OS and the hp-health monitors installed, AND your iLO is v1.61 or higher, AND the iLO (not necessarily the system) has been up for ~40 days, you could get this issue. We had 30 hosts reboot/panic in less than 24 hours almost exactly 40 days after being updated to 1.65.

I heard back from him this morning, but even with a screenshot taken during the presentation of an answer to my question, he's claiming I was a "No Show." The worst part is that I was genuinely excited about their management interface. The stuff we sell and configure now is like pulling teeth, and the demo showed them configuring site-to-site VPN with a checkbox. It's hard to stay enthusiastic though when you get directly accused of being dishonest.

I attended a webinar and after a quick phone call was quickly shipped my AP- and I know many who had similar experiences. I'd just attend another webinar and get it over with if they refuse to budge (a public message/tweet might help). You just have to leave the window open so it's not much of a hassle for a $300+ free product to play with.

Yeah, MUMPS is alive today only because of two things: 1-Having built in general trees that work fairly efficiently lets them get away with a lot of the dumber aspects of the language 2-A lot of software vendors are tied to the platform without any way to migrate off without rewriting their code from the ground up. It just isn't enough like any other language to try interpreting the code to a new platform.
