dox posted:We've got ~70 clients on it, over 1000 users... haven't had it go down in any significant way in the past two years. Usually just minor things like can't add distribution groups via OWA for a day or what not. Maybe we're just lucky. I left my old job last month, so up until then. The complete and total lack of communication from MS support probably made it seem worse than it actually was, though.

evol262 posted:That might be the problem -- almost everyone on my team used to be an admin. He was a build engineer for the Galaxy team, and apparently spent most of his time trying to explain to the developers how Linux worked and why the things they were doing would never work. All of this. Not all of the developers are terrible, mind you. When SOMEONE shipped a device with a /dev/something providing full 777 permissions to THE ENTIRE DEVICE MEMORY, a friend of mine got to explain to Samsung's security team what Linux file permissions were and why this was incredibly bad. Of course, my best example is a public one that I had no involvement in: Polaris Viewer DOCX VML Shape Tag Remote Code Execution Vulnerability quote:Sept 26, 2012 - ZDI e-mails vulnerability disclosure ZDI-CAN-1658 to security@samsung.com. It contains a vulnerability advisory and a proof of concept. Edit: If it's the Bridgewater office, let me know how the interview works out.

Bigass Moth posted:gently caress Cisco licensing. Cisco pulled an amazing play with their video conferencing endpoints. I have a bunch of C20, C40 and SX-20 systems, most were on version 6 or 7 of the software. Upgrading them wasn't a big deal as most of the fixes are on features we don't use, and generally things worked well enough. We got in some units on the latest firmware 7.3.3 and after deploying them, I saw that I couldn't see out the camera from the webui. This was handy for troubleshooting, and let me help without interrupting a call. So the latest version removes that feature, and hides it behind a new license key. If I get this key before the end of the year, the upgrade is free. Anything after January will add 100 bucks to the price. Admittedly, 100 dollars on a 9,000 video unit isn't much, but goddammit. Cisco's reasoning is they don't want to be in trouble depending on wiretap laws, which would explain disabling the feature by default, not removing it. So gently caress Cisco.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Thanks for the input. I really like my job now, honestly, the increased money is nice, but I really don't need it. I only started this path because I thought I was going to be let go, but since they're assured me I'm not losing my job (they got rid of a few people, but that was three weeks ago and there's been no more restructuring). Still do the Interview dude. If you get an offer you can always leverage that into a raise.

Log into the Admin Dashboard and click Support->Overview in the left-hand menu. Then click "View details and history" right below the "Office 365 health" schema. That page will show you an extensive overview of what's going on. Example  You can click any of the little green/yellow/red icons for a detailed explanation of that specific event, or just click the RSS icon for an RSS feed of the whole thing. Example  It's hardly fair to claim there's a lack of communication from MS on this. Crowley fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Oct 23, 2015 |

Bob Morales posted:Fortigate puked. Disk drive isn't showing up, it boots but it doesn't really get anyway. It'd be cool if the indicator lights did jack poo poo or if Fortigate had ever replied to the ticket we put it on Friday morning when it froze up and we had to reboot it. Asked me if I wanted to do a disk check but it would take 10 minutes and I needed to get us back up online right away. Should have ran that like Friday night. The RMA unit took a poo poo today. Looks like the exact same problem, HD or whatever it uses for storage puked. Any suggestions for NOT A FORTINET firewall? We only have 10/10 connection, would like traffic monitoring capabilities and VPN, we have 100 users behind it.

I cannot stand sales people that don't understand bits vs bytes, especially when used in their marketing material. I just got this fiber proposal for one of our locations and it's got a "100Mbps" line listed as $450/month (about market average for 12.5MBps), then a "1GB" line for $1200/month (a loving steeeeeal), but they're all utterly confused when I ask why one is listed in bits and one is bytes and what the actual units they're trying to represent are. There's no way in hell I'm signing anything until we can all figure out what exactly you're selling, people.

My wife just started a new job and they have an infrastructure guy there (with a very similar title to mine, so she tells people we do the same thing) who apparently checks what people are viewing in real time. It's not an issue to be on Facebook, for example. But you can't be on Facebook for too long. As in, he will come over to your desk and say "hey, you've been on Facebook for too long." It sounds like an awful job.

My web history at work is full of all kinds of crap, but everything I'm expected to deliver gets delivered when it's supposed to be and the feedback I get from everyone as part of the performance review process is solid. It turns out that the majority of the time if you treat people like grown ups you get great results! That guy who's job is to monitor how much Facebook people use had the shittest job ever.

J posted:How you gonna post that and not explain why you would do such a thing to yourself? Started on 2010, decided to upgrade to 2016. It wouldn't connect to the Exchange server, because it has to be able to auto-discover in 2016. I'm not on the office network, I work from home, so I don't expect it to work, so after waiting for 3-4 minutes I realize my mistake. I roll back to 2013, but the installation fails and I can't figure out why. I roll back to 2010 but the installation fails and I can't figure out why. I reinstall 2016 and try to connect Outlook again, and after 10 minutes it works. Whew. For a while there I really thought I was going to have to run Outlook in a VM until I felt like rebuilding my machine.

I pretty much buy in copies of Office 2013 home and business and call it a day which is why it's so low, I'd happily give 365 a spin if we weren't such drat cheapskates. I think when baby's born and next year rolls around I'll try and jump ship, I have to cut so many corners and play McGuyver all the time I'm afraid I'm eventually going to turn into "That" crappy sys admin without the proper guidance and environment.

Sorry shipping dept but no, your emails from your shipping vendors aren't being gobbled from the spam filter. They are simply not emailing you. No, there is nothing I can do to make them email you and no I don't have a resolution for this. Stop asking this every time your boss gets on your rear end for shipping delays. I am not here to bail you out.
