Antioch posted:...from me, to myself. I set up a new DFS server last week, and over the weekend I started moving user data to it. Before I started the robocopy, I removed all the test folders. I forgot my actual user folder was in there too. And I don't have backups set up yet because I didn't have anything set up. No chance you had VSS set up on that file server?

I love when content filters throw false positives. Yes a farm's website is totally a porn site. I wonder how long it will take the MSP to get back to me about the change. And the NAV issues get even more fun. The user was finally able to get on and was subsequently kicked off due to the MSP employee "checking his connection":. Yes doing connection tests to a production server while people are using it is a great idea. EVP of Finance is not a happy camper

I support vets, so I know exactly how you feel. They were going to try a web filter and every single one we tried blocked the websites of the vets we supported (it was so we could grab their numbers in case our system didn't have it, it has a few gaps). Of course, google just tells you the phone number anyway, but we didn't tell the manager guys that. Being able to browse the forums while transferring things is nice.

I had the same thing happen a few times with our fortigate. A weather site is adult content? Hmm... It's trivial to change that on our end though.

It's an easy change...they just won't let me do it for whatever reason. I don't even know what the agreement we have with this MSP is...we just sort of inherited them. The network engineer showed up for one of our early buildout meetings and nobody mentioned he was a consultant. They must drop some serious cash to have a pet MSP who is pretty much on staff there.

afflictionwisp posted:this morning our IPS decided that the SAN replication traffic between two datacenters was botnet command&control I had something similar happen when the "Heartbleed" bug was first publicized. The IDS/IPS at every branch location decided that a few packets of port 9100 network printer traffic where attempts to exploit the bug. The resulting corrupted print jobs caused several printers to spit out thousands of pages of garbage. To make things worse, we did not know this at first because in typical Sonicwall fashion there was a bug with the IPS rule. It was blocking these packets completely in silence despite it being set to do the opposite. It was not triggering any alerts, did not appear in any logs, etc.. It took several days to track down the source of the problem; we only found out the IPS was blocking the packets once Sonicwall support got involved and found it mentioned in some internal debug log.

A while back our firewall administrator decided to block Google Drive, not the website, but the downloadable application. That's fine. But something got screwed up in the configuration. I'm not sure exactly how but one person's Google Drive managed to take up our entire network bandwidth and our ISP killed our connection because it looked like we were DDOSing someone. This was the same admin that accidentally promoted someone's desktop to a domain controller then blamed him when people stopped being able to access the internet.

Can I just say Godaddy sucks so hard? In order to transfer emails from one account to another I have to delete the email accounts, pay for email hosting again, transfer the domain over to the new account, then attempt to recreate the emails. They promised me that the mailboxes should stay with all the content intact but I really don't believe them. The new email system is on Office 365 while the current email is their old platform. Time to cut this over on the weekend and pray it doesn't gently caress up.

Behold, gentlemen! The most damaged iPhone I've ever seen. User claimed it had been dropped from his hand to a concrete floor. When it was delivered to me and I had a chance to see it first-hand I felt obliged to challenge his story. He then amended his tale so that the phone dropped to a concrete floor... and then tumbled down a flight of concrete stairs. I still don't believe him but there's nowhere left for me to go with this. Hope he enjoys that old iPhone 4 I gave him.

It's stuff like that, that's made me glad we've switched to a BYOD model. We have allowances that are more than reasonable for the plans, but if people pull poo poo like that it's out of their pocket.

SamDabbers posted:Or possibly smashed against the edge of a table? The damage shows the pressure on the device having moved from one point to another, rather than a sudden impact. I mean, the dude COULD have held it against something. If he's really heavy and it was in his back pocket when he leaned against the edge of a table, that MIGHT do it, but... most likely it was run over.

We've got client server software where the server side actually requires windows server to be installed in some situations, and back before we had an actual virtualization server set up (E.G. a year and a half ago) we used to have to set up Server VMs on our local machines for configuration testing. And people didn't delete their perfectly functional VMs after the server got set up because our IT department hands out VM leases like they're golden tickets to the chocolate factory. I'm guessing somehow replication got turned on and people were still getting redirected after the VM got turned off.

Sounds like a nightmare to administer. Also sounds like too much money is tied into server licenses instead of poo poo that makes sense.

For the longest time our sole domain controller was a windows XP machine. I'm not sure how he pulled that off, but it was cheaper than buying an actual server license.

We discovered the hard way that is possible to change a global default for ClearCase by running a command on a client. A dev happened to run that command one day, resulting in every new view (local working copy) pointing at his box if the user did not specify where to store the tracking files. Needless to say, that one was tough to track down. I don't know if it was good or bad that he almost never rebooted, and left his machine on over the weekend. We certainly would have found the problem sooner, as I think it was that way for nearly a year. But having it up so consistently resulted in there seldom being user issues. I can only imagine how much more work that box did than every other workstation in his neighborhood before we found the problem.

Maybe we aren't on the same page of what a "domain controller" is because I am pretty sure that's not possible. Just because a windows machine is running software to host DHCP or DNS doesn't make it a domain controller. Either way, it sounds like your shop has hit the wombo combo of having people make dumb infrastructure decisions as well as letting devs run wild.
