What really helped to studying for my cert exams was just scheduling the exam. Somehow knowing that the exam date was getting closer and closer. Just motivated me to study for it harder.

Been meaning to clean this stuff up for a while. Good job lovely web developers we paid before I got here! Why put websites in the same directory. Just throw them all over the hard drive. And give them stupid names. Bonus: they were all logging to the same 2 log files

In any case, I moved it up to 3 weeks from today and I'm taking it then regardless of how confident I feel. Gonna stop scheduling things so far out.

We have all been working our rear end off this week getting stuff fixed, despite the handicap of not having access to most of the actual code for the software, as we build on top of third party software that isn't open source. We ended yesterday evening with only 5 issues open and all of today to work on them. Close them as "cannot reproduce" right before the deadline.

poo poo pissing me off: Wake on Lan policies for Windows 8 and above. Powering off the machine absolutely kills networking. Microsoft's reasoning for this is that when users select Shut Down, they expect the machine to be completely shut down without the possibility of an accidental wake on lan or any other power up of *their* machine. Except this is Windows Pro on a domain you chuckefucks! The machine's don't belong to the users, and appropriating an administrative power to users is backwards, wrong, and idiotic! At least give admins a backdoor way to get WoL working for a powered off machine through group policy or registry or BIOS. Why the poo poo would I care about honoring the intents of the user in an admin controlled domain environment?!?

Network adapters are explicitly not armed for WOL in either S5 or S4 cases because users expect zero power consumption and battery drain in the shutdown state. This behavior removes the possibility of invalid wake-ups when an explicit shutdown is requested. Therefore, WOL is supported only from sleep (S3) or hibernation (S4) states in Windows 8, 8.1 and Windows 10.

Jeoh posted:So it's unsupported in S4. And then it's supported in the next sentence? Huh. It's unsupported from S4 if you have Fast Boot enabled, but it IS supported if you make administrative changes to disable Fast Boot. From S5, a full Shutdown, it is entirely unsupported and there is no way to make it work.

Holy fuckin moly I just had the stupidest argument with my senior admin about how VPNs work. We have a vendor router inside our network with host to host connectivity to their location over the internet. He says this is a lovely setup because our firewall can't see the VPN packets transferred through our firewall. Yes we can. The original TCP packet is encrypted but a new packet header is added that the firewall can interpret and read. The outside packet is logged. No, once the tunnel is established everything is passed inside that tunnel and our firewall can't see it because the tunnel is encrypted. It's not a stream of data. Our firewall still needs to route from one physical port to the other, which means it needs packet header info with source and destination addresses There's nothing to route, the packets just go through the tunnel When we pass the packets to the internet they still need to be routed by the ISP, so they need a destination IP address on every packet. Nooo, that's not how it works. ISP just sends the packets along the tunnel that's opened from host to host. ISP doesn't hold any route information or memory of the tunnel at all! From the outside, it looks like any other packet, it's just holding another encrypted packet inside the payload! Their host tosses the outside header, decrypts the packet, and routes the internal packet on their network. I don't think so.Fucker, it's not a literal physical tunnel, I studied this poo poo, I know what the gently caress I'm talking about. You've been here 7 years and can't explain how a VPN works??

Thanks Ants posted:Step 1 of the Dell Sonicwall troubleshooting play book is "have you reset the device to defaults and entered all the configuration again?". No, gently caress you, look at the logs and at least attempt to work out what is going on. It's not my fault your config files are some hideous binary things with no way of editing them so any gently caress ups caused by your abhorrent QA processes are going to stick around until you tip the piece of poo poo out the rack and throw it away. Step one of troubleshooting Dell Sonicwall devices is get them the gently caress off of your network.

Also pissing me off today: SURPIRSE! loving PRINTER TECHS. I have a tech out at a remote site setting up scan to email on an office printer. He claims it doesn't work, but then it does, and oh now it doesn't again. Definitely not working now, but that email sent but this didn't. I literally cannot get any useful information to troubleshoot this issue through his dumb rear end. I'm not even sure he can spell SMTP as I have asked for the configured address information at least 7 times.

My site's EMR completely poo poo the bed and they are on an internal disaster. And I'm off today haha. And my coworker decided he wanted to call in today too, even though I told him I was doing the same thing like 5 times. Dropping the team to 2 guys knowingly in bird culture is generally considered a dick move. I offered to go in since I mainly just wanted to get some sleep for a change.

Before that (2008-2012), they were good for SOHO deployments where you just didn't have money for anything else. Maybe they've gotten a lot better, but my deployments after they became Dell branded were all painful and I feel bad for the guy who took over my customers.

They are still blaming the Dell acquisition for the support being worthless. The sales blurb for their certs claim that passing gives you the ability to skip tier 1 and go to someone who knows what they are doing, but I have had their head of support for EMEA admit that there are no support tiers - if the guy who picks up your case has no loving idea what they are doing, then they just work with someone more experienced in the back end but still act as the go-between. It's a shitshow.

Spent a day and a half trying to track down an issue with routing between two sites - one site could initiate connections to the other and receive a reply back, the second site just got timeouts. The company managing the firewall at the far end was insistent their config was fine and the issue must be our firewall rules. Pushed back, included a copy of our configs, packet captures etc. Finally after like a day of head scratching they escalated the issue to someone who thought to do "show ip route" which revealed a static route with a subnet mask large enough to include the subnets on our end of the VPN tunnel, with the interface set to the LAN side. Thanks guys. The customer will have to eat some hours billed at a weekend rate, I'm sure they'll be really happy with you.

AT&T hosed a client of mine like that when we were doing a p2p T1 install between two locations. An hour job of building router configs and plugging poo poo in turned into 3 days of redoing everything and ordering more crap only to find out it would never work because AT&T hosed up the install order originally 2 months prior. Client took our invoice of 3 days labor and sent it to their AT&T rep who surprisingly credited their account for that. Ultimately that job cost us the client because some of the higher ups just blamed us for it aswell. Blessing in the end I guess.

I don't know if this is related, but Verizon dumped its FIOS and DSL on Frontier this weekend and it's been hell for a lot of people. I had to change my girlfriend's mom's DNS settings for her stuff to work. Luckily I switched from VZ's poo poo service a month ago.

That isn't always sound advise. What if there is route issue between you and that dns server? Your Isp provided dns server not only should be faster, but it also should be up if your service is also up. There are times when Google/open Dns might resolve issues, but it's not a silver bullet.

If there's a routing issue between you and those anycast DNS services then being able to resolve addresses that you can't connect to probably won't help you much.

Awful big should there. My personal testing has shown Google DNS to be faster than any ISP DNS servers I have ever dealt with for residential service, and more reliable. I've had Comcast/TWC DNS go down a few times over the years, but never seen Google do so. I know they have, but they have never impacted me while ISP downs have.
