Bigass Moth posted:He thought the rack mounted ups was a switch? Just clarifying because that's so stupid I had to reread that many times. Yes, he "configured" a rackmount ups for like an hour before the day was over - took him forever to find a cable to hook up to it. We made many jokes about a 1-port switch. Different guy than the one referred to in the quote, though. e: I hope  e2: fixed previous post to be more clear. Ugato fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jan 18, 2016 |

I still wish variable length subnet masks could somehow be acronymized to VSLM so they could be called Vee-Slams.

It's cool when Marketing tries to dictate IT policy.quote:As of this morning Person Who Quit (pquit) is no longer an employee here at Company. I am not sure of the process but I wanted to ensure that her remote access and all permissions were removed. I guess ignorance of the process is permission to assume we don't have one in place. And yes; he told us what the former employee's AD username is, as if we wouldn't know. I told him that we have an offboarding process and if he wants us to keep this person's files, it will be a restoration from her latest backup put on a share... and that such a request will require a separate ticket. Then he replied thanking me but spelled my first name wrong

One thing I can't loving stand is a client that tries to blame us (the MSP) for problems they create for themselves out of their own incompetence. Case in point: Client router fails on site last week, secondary backup router picks up, we get an alert that the hardware failed but everything on site appears to be up. Our network guys look at the issue, confirm everything is good, we call the client and update them on the issue. Unfortunately calling the main IT contact went to voicemail, so we left a message and sent out an email including him and 2 other site contacts so they're aware of what happened. Main IT contact flips his poo poo saying we didn't contact him. He didn't check his voicemail because he didn't recognize the engineer's phone number who called. Instead of checking his voicemail anyhow, or email after that, he goes to one of the other site contacts and asks her for an update. She's on a call and can't answer right away, so he goes to the third site contact and finally gets his update on what happened with the router. Not once did he check his phone messages. Not once did he look at his email to get the update. Yet in our meeting today, this idiot is sitting at the head of the table playing with his goddamn phone most of the time. We reiterate that our first method of contact is always phone, because during an outage it's the fastest way to get in touch. He tried dancing around the issue and kept stating that email is his main contact. So I ask how he expects us to contact him by mail in the event of a power outage or network problem, since they have an Exchange server on site. Typical deer-in-headlights staring at me like I grew a second head, until I explained that if power goes out, or network goes down, Exchange can't send or receive messages, period. Brought it up in simple terms, as "your car won't run without a battery, how would you expect your server to work without power or internet?" and he finally understood and agreed to keep his phone handy. We made sure he added us as contacts for the future too. How are people this loving dense?

Dr. Arbitrary posted:"A less experienced technician comes to you for help. The Chief Engineer is cheap and doesn't want to buy new backup hardware. Buffalo Terastations are melting and catching fire in the server room. The technician is pretty sure his Chief Engineer has Tourette's, autism, severe paranoia and an addiction to huffing Sharpies and licking used toner cartridges. General Manager doesn't want to deal with the CE but wants the backups fixed, new access points bought and installed, new workstations quoted, new firewalls and switches, a budget of $373 and accounts already set up with CDW and TigerDirect. What is your course of action?" There we go, tailored to fit almost any situation! Dr. Arbitrary posted:What's your opinion on the giga- prefix? Giggle-bytes, duh. Or jiggly-bytes alternately.

A ticket came in...quote:Getting messages my Cntrl is pressed down. Curser running across screen. Strange messages. That last line is his email signature. I couldn't replicate the issue when sitting at his computer but I could watch it happen to him. Hard reboot and replacing his wireless peripherals with wired equivalents didn't fix it. Then he took it upon himself to "borrow" a spare computer to hook up at his desk and still had the same issue. Eventually I tracked all the wires coming out of his computer and discovered that someone, maybe my idiot predecessor, maybe some prankster, had at some point put a second keyboard under his desk against the wall, run the cord up through his desk, and plugged it into his computer. When he leaned back or scooted up close, his feet would hit the modifier keys and cause erratic typing/clicking behavior. I couldn't replicate the issue originally because I am several inches shorter than he is.

We got power supplies out on the plant with the naming scheme _APS1, _BPS1, _CPS1, etc I'm trying to get everyone to say it out as words instead of letters because I'm a loving child and want to see if I can get management to start saying "bepis". So far it's not working out but I'm going to keep trying
