Has this happened to anyone else?

No tickets coming in: Unbelievably, I finished all of my work and left no tags for others to complete with five hours left in my last day at this gig. Not like I was trying very hard and would have given no shits if I left unfinished work behind, but for the first time ever I did not. :feelsgoodman:

I *can* do all of that but I will *not* do all of that, considering that the folder that she's speaking of has exactly 4 files in it, all named in a very particular order, which is the same for its nearly 16,000 sibling folders which she uses on a sub-hourly basis. So it should be easy, right?

We don't do auditing so good luck if you gently caress something up on a network file share.

I'd hope that the quickest retribution to come to this user would be wasting management's time by CC'ing them on this dumbass email.

Finally reimaged that HTTPS hosed up laptop today. Works like a charm now, still dunno what was borked on it. I ended up removing the network card from Device Manager and rebooting it to reinstall/repair the network stack and that didn't help either. I just wish we had enough bandwidth at my office that I could image here instead of taking it to the main office downtown and wasting three hours watching progress bars. Even with one guy out sick and another going home at 10am to keep out of OT, the three of us onsite haven't done poo poo today. I think it's the first day in over 2 months that the email helpdesk team has been in "remote resolution" (fix it if you can) instead of "catch and release" (read email, make ticket, send to onsite support). I actually got to study for my 680/685 tests.

I may be missing the point too. Why on earth do you want a file share in your environment without auditing or shadow copies? It seems..... pointless. Do you not back them up either? Why have it at all? I am just missing something I guess.

EAT THE EGGS RICOLA posted:
The Exchange admins have defaulted Outlook 2013 to 3 months of email in cached exchange mode. EVERYONE is overlooking the "get more from Exchange" link at the bottom of their inbox/whatever other folder their in. When we only have 80GB HDDs in the machines and a fresh image leaves them with just over 30GB free, I see the point in limiting the OST size, but send some education out to the users, drat.

And if you only have 80GB drives in those things then they are probably poo poo and old anyway. So the limit makes a lot of sense. Assuming that the search will still return results for the whole Inbox I can't see much of a need to be able to scroll back past 3 months.

For those who we're looking for an update re: Meraki shenanigans, I ended up tweeting them and about 15 minutes later they "were able to make the change" and record that I attended their sales thing. Then I called the guy to confirm my address and he never called back. So I guess that's still a maybe? I'm not too concerned at this point. It would be nice to play around with in the shop but I'm pretty much convinced I don't want to rely on this guy for anything related to actual business.

Caged posted:And if you only have 80GB drives in those things then they are probably poo poo and old anyway. So the limit makes a lot of sense. The machines are 5 years old and we're getting about a 10% HDD failure rate on Win7 upgrade, usually from Bitlocker making GBS threads itself when it starts encrypting. It's been an interesting couple months. I really hope the hardware refresh that was schedule for last fall happens after the new fiscal year. Sequestration and the shutdown hosed up so much stuff. Search is only returning result cached in the OST, but also has a "get more from exchange" link at the end if the search results that everyone is ignoring.

Quick question regarding best practice for naming an Active Directory domain. It used to be they were normally all called <companyname>.local but now MS is recommending you don't do that. So is it now best to use a subdomain of the companies internet domain e.g internal.<companyname>.com for the name of the Active Directory domain. Is this correct and what is everyone using for the new domains you are deploying? I ask this as we are about to finally start retiring a bunch of old SBS 2003 setups for various clients.

Is this correct and what is everyone using for the new domains you are deploying? I am not an AD guy, but thats what i recommend. (using a subdomain of a domain you own) Here's why: 1) RFC 6762: .local is for MDNS. Don't use it for other things. 2) IANA is drunk with power and creating new TLD's all the time. A company i worked for used .int, which was later snatched up by IANA as a TLD. 3) There are bits of software that are stupid and will freak out if it sees a non-normal TLD. I had one that freaked the gently caress out at .wan 4) AFAIK, there's nothing like RFC1918 for "safe" TLD's to use for your own stuff, so don't make any up. EDIT: Nope, it wasn't int company that was saved by forsight, it was someone else. Too tired to remember straight nitrogen fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Mar 31, 2014 |

A request came in: approximately 110 image CDs need to be burned in the next two weeks. I suppose I should have been suspicious about the massive stacks of blank CDs that appeared last week. Not sure whether to be pissed off or overjoyed at the chance of ~9 hours worth of pay.

I call bullshit because  Unless you really are upset because you were running a network between when the domain name concept was implemented in 1985 and .int specifically was created in 1988...
