It helps that the CEO is a CCIE and engineerings network is separate from corporate. It was basically a "gently caress this I'm not dealing with 6 different distros and a BSD" situation.

Anybody have any suggestions on a self-service password reset/unlock portal? I'm playing with ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus, right now. Seems simple enough (for a Tomcat service). Now the question is: Will our users use it, or just find it simpler to call our Helpdesk line?

Just for the lols I opened rdp on a throw-away machine I've got to the internet to see what kind of attention it would attract. I expected a lot, but not quite ~1200 attempts an hour a lot. The internet sucks.

Thread regular Dick Trauma used to work in 911 dispatch so he might be able to give some perspective specific to that kind of transition. He's been very scarce lately though, and I'm honestly a little concerned about him.

Thanks, everyone. I posted in the other thread, too. I've interviewed for a few positions so far but the pay is very low compared to what I make now. My area (southern NJ) really sucks for IT. I'm testing the waters to see if it's worth leaving a 12 year career + pension just for a better schedule and a different kind of stress.

I've used too many photo services over the years. apropos of nothing, I did finally find this photo shoot heh. lol_liability.jpg. Me climbing up a narrow-rear end tower on top of a larger platform on the roof of the 38-story TIAA-CREF building in downtown Denver, with no training or qualifications other than the dudes who were supposed to do it watching me. Circa 2011. The field guys were very adamant that it was a bad idea to walk in front of those microwave dishes...  Looking west to the capitol building  Mile High Stadium in the distance, to the right of the insane radio dish Christmas tree  I miss very little about that job, but the opportunity to climb all over cool places was fun!

Traffic Reporter posted:A former coworker of mine would rave about Kemp load balancers, but I don't really spend any time working with them as part of my job. The people they had working their booth at ms ignite last year seemed nice enough though We just bought a pair of Kemps for a side project based on their cost alone. I couldn't justify A10s for the low traffic of an engineering test enterprise lync pool. The UI is straight garbage, but their templates worked right out of the box, you can have them up and running for most typical tasks in an hour or so. Its funny, they were so cheap I didn't even consider them load balancers when I was thinking of Cisco/F5 and the like.

God dammit, it may be time to start the YOTJ process again. I've been with my current company for almost exactly a year, and came from an absolute trainwreck of a place so i'm very happy to be here. Current company is a pretty good place to work, no calls after hours, decent boss, good benefits, and a fantastic commute. I've gotten hands on with all of the major systems, made a lot of significant changes for the better, and the project list for the upcoming year would be good items to have on my resume. Except for the fact that they didn't make any money last year and are now implementing cost-cutting measures. To include no merit increases. And the bonus goals check from last quarter just hit my bank account, and it's 1/2 of what it normally is net, even though my boss said he was putting me in for the full amount. Time to raise some loving hell as soon as I get my ADP statement. Cost cutting measures, fine, but you don't gently caress with my paycheck. And yes, I have it in writing.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:PCI audits This, holy crap this, our team lead basically plays linebacker with these idiots and beats it into their heads that 99% of the stuff they want to look at is not in scope because of how we've got our stuff configured. The problem is that our client used to handle credit reconciliation but now all that poo poo is shipped off to a third-party and never touches any of the equipment we manage. *edit* at some point I think the auditors demanded we give them a domain admin account for :reasons:, but I could be incorrect, since, as said, our team lead keeps them out of our hair.

Auditors in any field tend to be hired based on their ability to follow a checklist as closely as possible, IME. Just because it doesn't make sense, doesn't mean it's not on their form, and that's what's really important.
