Cross-posted from the Microsoft/Windows thread: Going over migrations plans for server 2003 (ugh) to 2012. There are a myriad of file shares and special permissions that have built up over the years. Since I am running a VMware environment, is there any reason I could not just: 1. detach vmdk from current 2003 VM 2. attach vmdk to new 2012 VM 3. migrate shares from whatever registry key they are stored in 4. create DNS CNAME to point old server to the new one 5. done? These are straight file shares, meaning there are no installed programs on this server that this should cause problems for. I am just so tired of this server. There are references to the UNC path buried in programs that I will probably not get much help digging up. Barring that, does anyone have experience with the File Server Migration Toolkit from MS?

Both the DisableStrictNameChecking and the SetSPN command. I've just recently gone through this in my test environment before doing some similar migrations, and without these changes you'll get various different types of errors on the client as it tries to access the shares.

Spring Heeled Jack posted:Cross-posted from the Microsoft/Windows thread: NTFS will copy the group permissions over. Assuming you just have share\sharename and then map that to a drive share the root share again and make a cname of the old server name for the new server done. If not share each folder out which is still like 30mins of work at best unless you have a real mess of shared folders without subfolders.

Not so much pissing me off more unnerving. Our work is on a big health and safety campaign at the moment. That is all fine, but then they also announced life insurance for us all so our families get paid out our annual salary if we are killed or seriously hurt. Now today under the health and safety notice board they have a bunch of information about wills and setting u trusts to handle estate affairs etc.  does management know something we don't?

ponzicar posted:If they were announcing themselves as the beneficiaries, then you would need to be worried. That is a fairly well known tax dodge, pay for life insurance for a bunch of employees with company as beneficiary reduce taxable profit due to this added operating expense. Then when they eventually collect insurance payouts are apparently tax free. But in this case I think it is the company trying to show that they are a responsible employer who cares about the employees and their families. Although how much they care will be seen when the collective agreement is renegotiated in a month or two.

I work at a company that has a 24/7 tech team for client production outages. I'm not in the same office but I'm in the escalation path. Sometimes clients call me directly for production outages. I'm used to other jobs where I get dumped on and just do whatever. Here, though, my manager gets angry at me when I help customers that break the process, and he will interrupt the call and make them call the hotline first. Its magical. I'm not used to being treated well and I almost hugged him the first time he told a customer to hangup and call the 24/7 hotline.

I'm not used to being treated well and I almost hugged him the first time he told a customer to hangup and call the 24/7 hotline. I don't know why clients don't enforce this themselves. Tickets make us accountable so we can't just blow it off and they're paying for a 24/7 helpdesk. All I ever get is grief over this because they're too busy to call it in (while I see them reading their phones and newspapers) or get thinly veiled racism towards Indians. poo poo pissing me off: Dell. Latitudes don't play well with the old docks and flicker. The TB15 dock doesn't work and got pulled from sale, but some VIP wants his triple monitor setup AND it has to be from a laptop AND it has to be Windows AND it has to be easy WHERE he's gotten the CIO involved because two monitors just isn't good enough. It's getting close to "this isn't actually possible with current technology" but good luck denying him this setup. The Skylake USB 3.0 driver thing is really slowing us down too.

My work HP (an Elitebook 820 G1) will do three monitors from the dock, two on DisplayPort and the other one on VGA. It's three maximum through, you can't use the internal display as well.

I mean that as all file shares are down and it looks like the file share got cryptoed and you know what just restoring it tonight and having a few drinks will make my day so much easier than a bunch of users complaining about it in the morning. It ended up that my boss, who is on vacation and was supposed to be completely unreachable, replied to the email with "she's all set" and no further details.  Happening at the same time and I'm sure related, our scale out file server rebooted. My boss had been making changes to it a few hours earlier so I have no idea if he is responsible for this or not. The outage took out every server VHD for ~10min and 3 never came back up. My inbox was full of alert emails by the time I got VPNed in. Had to restore one server completely from backups and now have a licensing problem with another. At least this time we had a major incident while my boss was incommunicado, we had a backup solution I had confidence in and was able to use successfully. Good job, Sirotan. Now if only we had a proper monitoring system in place... :/

A few months ago at my last job, the CFO's laptop got hit with ransomware. A CFO who liked to retain about 30 years worth of work data, for reasons I'll never understand. To make things worse it was an especially nasty ransomware where the only known method of removal is to restore a backup and hope the infection is recent enough that it didn't hitch a ride on the backup itself. The only problem was there were no backups. I was expressly forbidden from backing up user data due to "privacy concerns", and there was nothing I could say or do to convince him otherwise. I was even instructed not to back up Citrix, because "it will just be quicker to rebuild it anyway", which worked out great for us when the battery on the server's RAID controller literally exploded. I was there with him until the small hours of the morning digging through stacks of old USB external hard drives to recover as much as we could. No paid overtime, because "why would I pay you extra just to do your job?" Thank christ I'm not working there any more.

If anyone comes to interrupt my lunch for something I just say "I'm not at work" or if it's a true 'h poo poo gotta fix' moment I then go back to lunch and add the time. Also got the balls a month ago to actually demand that I write the actual time I have off for breaks into my timesheet. 1 hour lunch break was barely 20 minutes. I want to get paid that 40 minutes I miss each day. Humphreys fucked around with this message at 12:00 on Sep 6, 2016 |
