Danith posted:Ya but even when their VPN'd in they can get the popup over and over again. It's like the credentials on the laptop aren't matching whats on the server and they don't update unless you try to log on/unlock account Next time it happens, have your user run klist purge and see if it fixes the issue the same way logging off and on does. If it does, come back here and mention what kind of VPN you're using and with what sort of credentials, because I think you can just solve this problem instead of helpdesking it into submission. To answer your original question: try winlogon.log and netlogon.log.

I was planning on upgrading my rig anyway, Fallout 4 is just giving me a decent excuse (Also since I'm apparently the only one of my friends with enough willpower to wait until the steam sale to buy said game)

notwithoutmyanus posted:So are you saying you have buffalo routers? Well, yeah. Everyone flocks to the same channel because of poor automatic channel select algorithms. Part of it is they can't talk to one another, but it also sounds like the neighboring routers have a bad (long) polling interval when checking for congestion or interference. So everyone is on 11, notice bad SNR or co-channel interference during a poll and does a quick scan and notices 1 is underutilized. So they all flock there. Rinse. Repeat. spog, do yourself a favor and move to 5GHz if your client devices support it.

Am I the only IT professional in the world who doesn't really care about FO4? I'm not big on crafting, and these days I don't want to spend hours exploring stuff - I wanna play a game, kinda. It's hard to describe. I'm also That Guy. You know, the one who thinks that FO3 wasn't really all that good of a Fallout game compared to 1 and 2. It's me, I am the goony goon :-( Co-worker complains of Outlook being slow. I advise him to close/reopen. He complains it's taking forever to open a menu. I advise him to close/reopen. He says it's slow switching categories (mail, contacts, etc.). I advise him to close/reopen. "But isn't it an Exchange issue?!?" He's the Chief Engineer of the radio station where I now work I JUST STARTED HERE IN SEPTEMBER, THINGS ARE GOOD, I DON'T WANT TO BE THE NEXT LARCHES I don't report to the CE and my boss has told me that I can safely disregard any instructions or concerns the CE has

At my old place a middle-aged guy came in to get his gaming rig upgraded to be able to play BF3 and it was one of the very few times I was able to say "I guarantee this proposal will play BF3" because I just bought him all the same parts I had gotten a month earlier  That dude was really cool, not at all who you would expect to be a huge gamer.

FO3 and NV were fun games, but they weren't really Fallout games to me and were not as good as the first 2. I'll get 4 eventually, but no real hurry. On the other hand, I'd much rather be home playing Legacy of the Void than in the office today...

Now it's 1) come home exhausted from bad commute and baby kicking my rear end previous night 2) cook dinner for whole family 3) help daughter with homework 4) do 5 other chores 5) oh hey it's 9PM, maybe I can get in 20 minutes of Metal Gear after the kids go to sleep. No just kidding, do 2 other chores. So yeah, I find I have less patience for things in games that I would have spent hours on before.

My thing with Bethesda games is always "wait until the DLC and modding community fixes the save-deleting bugs and makes the game actually fun to play", so in the meantime it's LotV.

Wasteland 2 was an okay replacement, but not the same. Vegas was lightyears better than FO3 in my opinion, but I've got a soft-spot for Fallout's specific brand of cheesiness. But I haven't played much lately other than a bit of hearthstone in the last 6 months because most games are poo poo :/

That came from here: imgur.com/gallery/CYdAO There are several things that point to it being fake or staged. The orientationof the card, the auspices of how it was found, etc. The top comment says it's psilocybin but I'm pretty sure it's just a joke. I don't know anything about mushroom growing so I have no idea.

A ticket came in: Outlook is crashing An employee sent out a company-wide email, a newsletter with graphics in it. Shortly after, we started getting calls from all over reporting that Outlook was crashing. We determined that the message was causing Outlook to crash. I applied Windows & Office (2013) updates to one user's computer, rebooted, same issue. Had all affected people delete the message either in Outlook (Safe Mode), or OWA, or on their smartphones. Outlook worked normally after that. Now, to find why it only affected some people and not (for example) me.

I am in a similar situation I would love to play fallout 4 but two very young children and a full time job make that a non starter for now. I guess I will do what I did with 3 and NV. Wait for the ultimate edition with all DLC and bugs fixed then buy it when it is on a steam sale for 5 bucks. I still haven't actually played New Vegas yet.

The one where you have to use your own devices, but can't ever use your own devices. Also, more "no you shut up dad": CE has a strict policy of employees never using their our equipment to do personal stuff, such as working on portfolios, demo reels, resumes, etc... He insists on them using their own computers and transferring footage to personal external hard drives to edit footage at home. Except, no one is allowed to connect an external drive to any computer on the premises, going so far as to disable the USB ports on all computers. If he ever sees a resume or portfolio or demo reel he deletes it and laughs about it later. So, him being an rear end in a top hat basically means no one can ever leave this place because they can't edit their portfolios here, but cannot transport the footage outside of the building to edit it at home or store the footage on premises. That's an aside to the actual story, it's just another example of him being an actual Disney villain. The real story is that Sports has been requesting a new laptop for months now, since we're in the middle of our huge annual football season. No laptop has ever surfaced, so they have to use their own personal computers to edit footage onsite when they travel out of town. One of the sports guys brought me his computer because it wouldn't boot. This puts me in a predicament because I'm not allowed to fix people's personal devices during work hours, but he'll be using it for work purposes with the News Director's blessing. I've got nothing better going on, so I decide to look at it. I suspect it's a faulty power supply. It doesn't do anything when you push the power button. I tried shorting the power on pins manually and got nothing. Also, the MB and PSU lights pulse like the power flow is wonky. Anyways, I'm searching around Hoardville for a spare power supply to get them going tonight when CE walks in and asks what I'm doing. Looking at a computer. Whose computer is it? Sports. That's not one of ours. Nope. Then why are you looking at it. They'll be using it for sports coverage out of town the next few days. No, we don't do that. I do. No, we aren't getting in the habit of looking at people's personal devices. We are for the next week and a half. You've got more important things to be doing. Like? What about the studio belt packs not working? That is in no way my problem at this point. That is strictly an engineering issue that has been brought to you personally multiple times for over six months now. I've given you my diagnosis and you've refused to acknowledge it, which leads me to believe I'm actually right but you have no way of fixing the problem without admitting it so you're just going to ignore it. Go harass some more city workers or something, I'm busy.This led to a staring match that seemed to last for days. Probably not the smartest thing I've done, considering we were deep in the bowels of a Hoarders version of Moria and a mentally unstable man stood between me and the only exit. He eventually muttered something about other peoples devices and stomped off. Literally eight minutes later he was trying to joke with me about two women having lesbian sex because they were walking down the street together? It's definitely Aspergers. P.S.

In TYOL2015 how have people not figured out conference bridges. A client called me with a question and then proceeded to put me on speaker so that they could call someone on another phone and then put that phone on speaker. So I had a dude sounding like he was underwater trying to ask me something. Christ. All because they couldn't figure out how to NetBoot. pr0digal fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Nov 11, 2015 |
