Goddamn there are a million options available in this thing for sites and pages and users, and I'd prefer we set it up right the first time so we're not getting a thousand tickets a day about not being able to see or open or upload documents based on permissions.

That's how it works in most European countries anyway.

It's a tech solution to management problems. Some managers choose to write down when their employees go to the bathroom and then berate them, others choose to look up their web access logs and berate them for looking at The only difference is the fact that bathrooms are something that has been decided in courts millions of times and private internet access isn't. Both are detrimental to efficiency and employee comfort.

Here it's allowed for security and continuity of the network, if the employee agrees. So not for micromanaging your workers, but for detecting an attacker exfiltrating data or whatever.

A job offer came in. Apparently, my fame precedes me, as some big wig with the county I live in contacted me to specifically offer me a director position with the county. Could not tell me what the job consisted of. Could not tell me what benefits are offered. COULD tell me that after a few years I couldwork up to the salary I currently make. It sounds like an absolute dream. Also, like clockwork, the GM from the television station called to inform me that, if I wanted, they would consider hiring me back for my old position, for less than I was making before. Really, all of these dream offers coming in

Marketing: we want our web company to migrate our website to AWS IT: OK cool, are you going to load balance? Autoscale? What about the 10 different systems on prem that the current website connects to Marketing: we'll just move it and you can fix what's broken

GreenNight posted:Marketing: we want our web company to migrate our website to AWS Yeah; there's a lot of that going on in the industry.  Guys we have to move to the CLOUD. Something something webinar its better Ok; sure. What's your driving reason? Cost savings? Rapid scalability? CapEx/OpEx? DR advantages? What are we prioritizing in the migration. Uhhh; we'll figure that out after we move But our approach may change significantly because we have applications that were developed in-house without a cloud deployment in mind. The type of re-engineering that needs to be done will depend on our actual goal and requirements We'll figure that out laterMy title is officially 'Cloud Architect' so I'm far from resistant to change / implementation, but the above re-enactment is something I've run into several times over now.

I don't know if I'm flagged as sysadmin for this. Best way to check? And the two things right now are I can't have more than 3 queries open, the fourth just says you can't have more than 3 open then fails, but actually runs the query first. Is there a way to have a new query just open over an existing one? And if I use tab completion, it works fine, but auto complete in a field with auto filled connected fields won't fill the connected ones. Since I have a few frequent flyers for tickets already, that's unfortunate. Any way to address that? ETA: I need to change some userAccountControl attribute in AD for 15 users. Can I make powershell do this? If so, how? This'll be my first use of powershell! Bunni-kat fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jan 25, 2017 |

Let me preface this by saying that I know this is a massive fuckup on my part, so let's keep this a judgement free zone. So, a blocked website has snowballed into reviving an apparently dead Windows Update server and a restructuring of our entire system. A ticket came in about The Washington Post website not loading. It wasn't being blocked on the web filter or the firewall, but will load on Windows 10 machines, but not Windows 7. Long story short, I discovered that faculty/staff computers haven't had updates installed since August of 2015. A majority of our network and domain is handled by a consulting company, and I trust it to them to keep everything in check. For the most part, they've done absolutely fine, except for this issue. Apparently, my predecessor insisted he manage updates and then just didn't. So, now I'm working with my network guy to get the update server back up and functioning, as well as rekajiggering all of our computers to fit into an update schedule. We're also going to be setting up group policies to push program installs/updates  In my defense, I've never had experience with either of these types of systems, so this is going to be my first time using them. I'm super stoked.

He's just desperate to have me back but can't get corporate to hire me back at even my old wage, must less what I would require. He's also got a ton of pride, so he'd never actually admit he needs me back. He just frames it like I surely hate this new job and I'm always welcome to come back to the paradise that is the television station.

larchesdanrew posted:Let me preface this by saying that I know this is a massive fuckup on my part, so let's keep this a judgement free zone. It's really easy, the only gacha is the default on WSUS is not 80 / 8080 which the GPO will assume. Setup the GPO the computers report in push updates out. Note pushing several years worth of updates at the same time can bog stuff down. Try and get 3-4 months at a time per month. Going weekly or even biweekly will get complaints. Inform people that patches will be on %data% (second Tuesday of the month, is when MS does it, you want to be a month behind, or lag a week?) I usually do 3rd Tuesday push everything approved in test group to everyone and everything that was pushed to my test VM the previous week to the test group. Most people are behind a month, but this prevents stupid stuff like outlook locking up due to an update from being company wide and manageable. Oh users in test group have this must be an update! Also keep an eye for any crazy exploits you need to push out off schedule. Pushing out programs is basically just PDQ deploy. You work for a school though, see if you can get SCCM, if you plan on moving into large scale companies that is something that is hard to get experience in, is expensive, and MS will usually give to schools for free / really cheap. SCCM will do the pushing out of programs and the updates as well as image computers for you! Pushing program out via GPO is asking for problems since it delays startup and if a user gets tired of waiting at "please wait" a pulls the plug they can break that software in new and exciting ways. You should be able to set all this up with google on your own in a day or two without any experience in the software, WSUS will seem like it is doing nothing for a bit since clients take a bit to call home I like to set it up on a Friday and check back in on a Tuesday.
