A call came in. Problem: Site keeps losing internet connectivity. Solution: Determined the internet connection was flaky and ISP sends a tech locally to solve the problem. After which, another call came in. Problem: Internet now works, but internal apps are no longer accessible. Also, the VoIP system is down. Solution: Jump in the car and go to site to reconnect the firewall the ISP tech has taken off-line and replaced with a D-Link router. Quote the tech: "Those are no good, this is much better".

The best part about all these Buffalo jokes is that all evidence points towards Larches being an absolute loving champ at taking this poo poo in stride and obviously won't actually go insane at the sight of an actual common-noun buffalo, but at the same he'll probably remember all of this joking about them and laugh and seem insane to anyone around because it's only funny to us.

In parallel, engineers are working to move users on the remaining systems to alternate infrastructure in order to remediate impact.

This is pretty much it. I was at the bar Thursday night with some friends when I saw the Oregon Trail buffalo tombstone image and started laughing my rear end off. I tried explaining it, but no one gave a single solitary poo poo.

Kurieg posted:Buffalo! It's Hard Drives Full!  Also, a ticket came in from one of the remote locations.  "Some lady called saying our mobile device hasn't connected in two weeks? I thought only one of you guys would call us. Do you think this is a scam?" "Probably, no one should be contacting you besides us. Did you get any contact information?" "No. She had an accent so it was hard to understand her. She tried to get me to change some settings but I couldn't get it to work following her instructions, so she put me on hold to talk to her Manager and we wound up getting disconnected." The user couldn't change the settings because we had the foresight to deploy these devices with an MDM solution in place to lock them down.  Fortunately the user let us know as well so we could send a warning out company wide just in case.

lodewijk posted:Problem: Internet now works, but internal apps are no longer accessible. Also, the VoIP system is down. A couple years ago a local dsl isp started rolling out router/modem combos. Apparently the isp's techs had instructions to swap out those modems anytime they were dispatched, which resulted in some hilarious (to me anyway) callouts to clients. ISP tech was here and the printer doesn't work! New modem is in different subnet, network printer had static IP address ISP tech was here and half the computers don't connect to the internet, and the other half can't access the server. Half the computers were getting DHCP from the DC, and the other half getting DHCP from the new router ISP tech was here and wireless devices work, hardwired devices don't. Combo modem is also wireless AP, ISP tech just unplugged main router and left it. This client didn't have on premises wireless before. ISP tech was here 2 months ago, and sometimes some devices give conflicting IP address messages and/or are unable to login with trust error. ISP tech had the foresight to set the new combo device to the same subnet as the existing network, but didn't think that DHCP would be provided by something other than the main router

nitrogen posted:Sirotan, her speculum bucket full of laptops.  In other news I am see constant pings from machines at a client on the firewall saying it has blocked Hamachi use. However, I have been through almost every single workstation that has thrown up said flag on the firewall and not one of them appears to have Hamachi installed. Anyone know if LogMeIn likes to ninja hide the VPN client?

Inspector_666 posted:The amount of time I spent telling people and ISP techs "Do not let them disconnect anything that doesn't connect directly to the coax.

I caught a guy playing around with the fiber router we have set up at one of our locations' uplink closets. 10Gbase-SR cables were unplugged and he was looking into the pretty red lights. Guy does not work with us anymore. I do not know how some of these people are getting through the hiring process. These days, my team has mostly-solitary control over who gets a key to the door, so another department can't just issue access "because he's our network guy."

anthonypants posted:LDAP question Hey, guy at least asked. He could've been too afraid to show weakness and charged ahead with taking down your AD environment. Edit: Based on the nuance in his email, he also thinks highly enough of you to very gracefully ask for help. 8/10 non-technical management guy didn't know what to do at a low level, but knew what he needed to do and ask for help and did so in a very polite manner. I don't expect my boss to be able to troubleshoot half of what I do, but he's regardless very intelligent and understands things when explained to him well. He still intuits elements of architectural / design decisions well enough to surprise my team with considerations none of us had thought through to totality. That's good management. YES, MR. BOSS MAN THAT'S POSITIVE FEEDBACK NOW STOP READING MY POSTS. Potato Salad fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Oct 27, 2015 |

One of our applications that are supported by a third party went down today. When we found out we sent an email to all staff telling them it's down and being looked at. Anyone want to guess what the last dozen or so tickets that have been emailed in have been about?

Why do you need managed wireless access points? If you set them up right you should only have to touch them once.
