Hell, schools have been doing this for a very long time.

 In other news I've achieved peak IT. My job description was incredible basic work but for whatever reason I'm migrating Lotus Notes servers. Our 2003 dell laptop without a battery wasn't cutting it anymore. I still don't know how the networking works here, nor do I know how our barracuda spam filter works (it seriously might not be doing anything), nor do I know how the firewall works. Nobody can tell me either because nobody knows. I'm the only IT guy in the building until Friday. IBM won't call me back

Pasting ACLs into a config file uses the same syntax as overwriting one. I always hesitate to do the copy. It doesn't help that it takes ages and the whole time you're wondering if you just kicked yourself off. Yes I know your session stays but I still get all paranoid. gently caress ACLs.

The entire time I've worked at my current job, there's been a bookshelf full of old technology books, completely untouched by anybody working at the company. Today, I got very reluctant approval to throw out some of the oldest books in the shelf.    However, I was told to hang onto a Javascript book from 1996 and any books on Foxpro. Maybe this is the first step towards permission to get rid of those Pentium 3 servers sitting in the back

I don't live in the bfe and the amount of money that it would take to uproot the wife and child to another state would have to be silly. I would have a better chance at long lost relative willing me millions at this point than a random Indian recruiter making my wildest dreams come true. The goat man sounds a lot better.

My TS clearance came through today. It took over a year to adjudicate. Just a heads up for anybody that is in the pipe right now. I submitted my eQIP on 6/10/14. Had a meeting with an investigator last August.

Interesting apologist statement. 1) i think it's naive to assume that the Chinese government are the only people with your PII given the descriptions I have heard of the security of those systems 2) it's serious loving info if it includes secret and top secret investigation materials. These people are going to need more than lifelock to protect themselves.

If you're referring to OPM, that wasn't the problem, and I can assure you two things: 1) proper documentation could have prevented it. 2) definitely a layer 8 issue.

1) wrooong 2) mmmaybe? There were a lot of factors, from opm getting it's funding from sister organizations who don't want to give a dime to overhead things like "security" to them having a single guy responsible for overall security (who left in May) to siloing and general red tape, there wasn't one cause you can point to.

What exactly are they expecting here? Here is my WSUS server, I approve updates on test groups, then approve them on production groups after X amount of test time. How much more policy has to be written?

One of the first things you do in Navy Boot Camp is assemble a stamp kit, you then stamp your social security number every article of clothing you own, with the exception of socks I think. So, yeah, when they're having you put your SSN on your underwear, they're not really into keeping pii secure.

How much more policy has to be written? edit: specifically, they were unhappy with the fact that our testing procedure was to approve the updates on a small subset of PCs and if there were no complaints, approve elsewhere. They wanted us to document that there were no complaints. They also did not like that PCs which were decommissioned more recently than the time they would drop off the report showed as missing (recent) updates. adorai fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Jun 25, 2015 |

Cut my teeth on that suite We are right at a year after migration from GroupWise 8 to Office 365 and there are still some complaints about what GroupWise could do that Outlook/Exchange can't. It is one of my strongest triggers because I spent the first 6 months at this company dealing with one of the post offices or MTAs falling down practically daily. I've heard from the circles that GroupWise 2014 is pretty awesome though. We spent MONTHS in contentious meetings arguing about crap because people were terrified of change. We had people who had literally never used anything but GroupWise because they hired in 15+ years ago and never had email before that.

Come to think of it, you might be right and it might have been my dog tags lying out, I know for a fact those print the full SSN, because another sailor got Comcast under my name and the unpaid bill showed up on my credit report.

If were at the lower levels you may not have been exposed to it too much, but I can't tell you how many times I've seen operations/admin staff send spreadsheets with an entire company or battalion's SSNs, DoBs, and NoK over Gmail or download it to personal devices.

I am trying to migrate our current email system from Lotus Notes 7 to a different physical box to Lotus Notes 8.5. Right now the current system is pretty spread out. I have an old laptop being the console. LN1 is the internal mail LN2 is the external mail A very old laptop is the console for LN1, LN2 does not seem to have a console at all. I was going to move this all to a new physical box that has one VM. The new LN1 is in the VM. The new LN2 is on the host. Both servers will have the admin console. This sheet that I made is all the information I have and can get about the networking.  The HP switch is where all the workstations and the rest of the servers are and where I'd be putting the new servers. Is there any reason it's setup the way it currently is? No idea.
