Anybody out there deploying Azure Resource Templates with the button in git repo like this: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/active-directory-new-domain-ha-2-dc only private? I've cloned the repo, set up a token in github, set the token in https://resources.azure.com/providers/Microsoft.Web/sourcecontrols/GitHub, triedthe stuff from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33239397/deploying-website-from-private-github-repository-using-arm-templates, but every time I get a "// Error loading template from (site)". Just wondering if I'm going down the right path.

Karthe posted:What's a good way of determining how much I should be making given the work I currently do and my work experience? I'm currently being underpaid for Angular + Django app dev for a Japanese IT consulting company in LA county (this includes daily use of Japanese for communicating with my boss). Before this I worked as a sysadmin/network admin/helpdesk monkey for a small company for three years, and before that back in college I worked for one of the administrative IT departments for four years. Ask your current job for a raise. Cherry pick a salary you'd be happy with, and take it to your supervisor and say "Industry average pay for the job I am performing is X, which is Y less then what I'm making. I'm not threatening to quit, but eventually it won't make much sense for me to stay here". I used that exact line back in July/August and my new boss gave me a 12.5% raise, and my coworker a 10% raise. It happened yesterday, and he (coworker) was blown away. He said that since our last boss had given us 8% last year and then quit that that was the end of the gravy train and would never have asked. I was confused, as in my opinion you absolutely have to ask to be given what you want.

Who am I supposed to tell when I'm putting in my notice? I told my direct manager/team lead and he said to tell HR, I told HR and they said ok and that I don't need to fill out paperwork or anything but I don't think the director of our department knows yet?

Trying to troubleshoot an exchange problem and the other guy doesn't want to listen to me, so now instead of just an issue with our public folders our entire exchange server is down and I'm just getting to sit here and watch it burn. Cool day.

I know, I was trying really hard to not get pulled from where I am now for at least a year to have some longevity, I made to 5 months  I didn't really plan on leaving and told this recruiter I wasn't interested in the position due to my short stints at jobs, but he talked me into at least putting in for it and I ended up getting it... Working with HP at a cleared facility at 1.5 times current pay, I guess people with any Cisco knowledge at all are hard to find in the midwest. The security clearance was the big deciding factor for me. Not having to drive to clients in a 100 mile radius around where my actual work is will be nice too. I've effectively job-hopped my way into making almost 3x what I was making at the beginning of the year though and no one has brought it up to me as an issue yet either so...

I think a bunch of lateral transitions would be a little more of an issue. I'm honestly jealous. CCENT scheduled for mid December! I even wasted the money to buy myself a router (and now I wanna get a switch too). Anyway, not to derail.

I think it might be necessary for learning how to reset passwords in ROMmon too, but don't quote me on that.

When I was a student I used Packettracer, because there was no way I could afford to buy that much equipment or pay my hydro bill for it. It worked fine.

I started my first IT job about a month ago doing help desk support for a company's custom software. There's also on-site training/installs (which i am not doing yet) but most of the support is done via WebEx. I think I'm terribly bored already. Most of my day is spent waiting for the phone to ring, with calls taking 5 minutes-2 hours depending. Today I've taken 3 calls and gone to lunch. Woo. Apparently call volume varies wildly depending on the time of year (we're in package tracking/accountable mail) but I think some days are less than 30 tickets across 8 techs. Most of my background (education) is in networking, so I guess I should work towards the Cisco certs I intended to finish once I'd graduated. I like my job (i just wish I had more to do, I suppose) and everyone is super chill, but maybe that's the problem. How do you guys in lower volume help desks/etc stave off this boredom? Good lord.

Oh yeah anything is better than NOT being in the field, you're still building skills: Customer service skills, troubleshooting skills, you're learning how to handle people on the phone/remote work and stuff like that. If there's not really "other duties" for you to do during down time, I'd go full bore and read up for certs CCNA, MCSA whatever your flavor is.

I read in the OP that this is a good place for general chit chat IT related. Today one of our racks came in from the integrator, yay! This doesn't look promising:  The other side looks less so:  Finding out what's inside is easy when the non-removable lid is opened for you:

Cross post from certification thread: I'm one test from wrapping up my 2012 MCSA. Thinking about the MCSE after. Given about 10 years experience to stand behind it: is the MCSE worth my time in terms of job value? I'm leaning yes but maybe I'm off base. Already have CCNA and Sec+ to go with it (and the experience as mentioned)

One time in the navy me and one other guy slipped dropped a half-million dollar 200-pound rack down a ship's steel staircase and it bounced off every step on the way down. No one saw us do it so we kinda dusted it off and plugged it in and it worked fine!

The shippers insurance is going to cover it, and our integrator will start manufacturing a replacement immediately. We will even get to jump the line in all likelihood. This is 100% pure comedy.

I'd like to go back to the fact that your picture is hilarious because it's got the tidy velcro wrapped cables up at the top and they route directly to the cable management on the right hand side where they enter Salvador Dali's idea of an equipment rack
