Client got sent a drive from the manufacturer to replace a failed one in their RAID array. Instead they just used one that was "kind of the same" that they just had lying around. It was, of course, not recognized by the array and they were really confused why

If my hiring was related to the results I'd walk. If they just wanted to know how much "training" you'd need okay I guess. If they want you to know CISCO stuff then they should put CCNA as a requirement and just use that instead of giving a test. As I've let my newly updated resume fly after enjoying the time off from my last garbage position, the difference between "CCNA preferred" and "CCNA required" seems to be a matter of which way the wind blows. I'm studying for my CCENT to get CCNA afterwards, but holy poo poo the jobs have simply been all over the place on wanting CCNA. I suppose it's due to my skillset/potential title as much as anything else. Infra engineer, sysadmin, availability + capacity management, I don't think any of those have a concrete definition anywhere ever that I've seen as of yet. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 22:24 on Dec 10, 2015 |

Dude who did it has replaced drives with me before, they just assumed that since it was a Hitachi 3TB drive that it would just work. All while the box with the correct drive was on their desk. And in this case it's black with a red stripe cause it's Nexsan

Also, please fix the image so that it installs software based on the department the computer will end up in. And have it install the user profile of the new user, set up email, configure the signature for company standards based on what role they'll be in, and set the background to "Welcome *Employee Name!*" Then have the image change the foldable cover on the Surface so it's color coded by department. OH and if it's not too much to ask can you make the image so that the device releases a dove when the new employee first comes in to the office? We feel that a lack of perfectly timed dove releases is a weakness in the imaging process.

I bet even the background could be done with a little bit of trickery.

A recruiter email came in for a dev position and lol at this REQUIREMENT, not even preferred: - Dev 501 or the new Dev 2 certification Yea sure whatever the gently caress that means. I looked it up, sales force has its own dumb cert, cool. Like I'm gonna do that instead of just learn any other language. when I grow up I want to be a salesforce developer! I also liked this line - 5+ years Salesforce experience a developer I guess it should be "as developer" but it still makes me laugh at how dumb it sounds at first and the bullshit requirements they are enforcing.

Disabling always leaves room for a fix to be made. The thing to learn is NEVER DELETE. There is never a good reason to delete an active directory user/computer object.

They were never disabled, moved, or deleted. I guess in case we find out we REALLY need that same server name for a server that was decom'd in 2009. Corporate policy was "just kinda forget the AD object exists". I'm right there with you on "don't delete immediately", but if we've changed naming schemes more than once since the last time the object was touched, I think it can shuffle off this electric coil.

Corporate policy was "just kinda forget the AD object exists". Just disable the object and move it somewhere. I just can't think of a single downside to keeping an object. If you never need it again, great. It also keeps things consistent. Really old stuff has very little chances of every being useful. Stuff that isn't so old has a better chance. If things are never deleted, simply disabled and moved, you run a better chance of not making a mistake yourself. Goes the same for other working in the environment.

Agree 100%,, there's literally no reason to delete stuff in AD, it's not going to poo poo up your environment to disable and move to a DisabledComputers OU or whatever, it's what we do, I have probably 1000 disabled objects, and the odd thing is, yesterday I had to revive one server that had been disabled for 2 years because a fire happened and the store closed, they are about to re-open using the same identifier! Not that I couldn't have created a whole new object without an issue, but whatever

I had an interview once where they wanted me to do ANDING to find total usable hosts when provided with ip and mask. This was for a project manager position with .NET dev stuff. EDIT: Just remembered 2^n -2! (I don't and never will work in networking nor have I ever gone for a networking job) I'm certain a lot of companies go and get a questionnaire from somewhere else and just shrug "It's I.T."

I think I would be really confused if someone started asking me subnetting questions for a range that huge. Yea, having a understanding of how they work and why you'd use them is one thing, but doing poo poo that Cisco uses to simply pad a test is dumb. Awhile ago, the help desk people were encouraged to start getting basic level certs, for some reason the supervisor thought they should get A+ certs. I said they'd be a lot better off with a Network+, as no one gives a poo poo about the A+, its not like they fix computers there. They were concerned that a Net+ was too difficult and anyone who did get it would probably leave. I found out later that the supervisor had failed the Net+ a few times and resented it.
