It would be nice to have Microsoft address it in a way that still provides a supported way to make changes, remove all on-prem Exchange servers and keep AD Connect in place. Like more or less everybody else, I edit things like the proxyaddress attribute directly, but it can't hurt to have more development in that area.

Yeah, this was out of Ignite where I was talking to program managers for the Azure AD team. They didn't specify exactly what form getting rid of that requirement would take, I'm hoping its ability to edit in cloud and write back to on-prem AD, but I guess we'll see.

Considering that a video I just watched said that Azure AD is going to start supporting schema extensions, that seems likely.

It was new to me, but a quick search seems to imply that it was really only usable by graph api calls and not integrated into any other products.

e: I have to admit I wasn't paying very close attention, but it got a "oh that's neat" when I saw the slide. So maybe they were actually just talking about improving support for it.

I've never worked anywhere that stepping out for a cig wasn't a thing we did. it was part teambuilding (10 minutes at a time outside of the office setting), partly a way to get away from our desks to bounce ideas off each other, and part networking with people outside of it

I get things moved along the most when I meet with our architect and another sys admin or two and stand outside smoking a cig (sometimes 2) for 5-15 minutes, best meetings ever.

That's my throwaway email address, so I'm rarely actually giving it out to anyone verbally. I just use it for things that might get me spammed and when I don't want it traced back to my actual real world identity. My personal email address is first.last format.

Also, I was a super early adopting gmail so I got first.last for my name without having to add a bunch of numbers or anything else. It's a major point of pride.

There was that brief moment in time, when people still knew phone numbers and were starting to memorize e-mail addresses/give them out as primary contact information to acquaintances, where a clever e-mail like that was useful.

In my experience, that was also when gmail started.

I can't for the life of me figure out why first.last is not available to me. There are less than 20 people in the world with my last name, none sharing my first. I really wish I'd registered it back during the beta. I'm stuck with first.m.last, and I hate it.

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
In addition to my internet persona email account I have my primary account on yahoo. It was originally supposed to be a throwaway account so I made it a clever slightly wrong phonetic spelling of C I O but then I got laid off and it became my primary account. It's so badly unpronounceable because pronouncing it right spells C-I-O and then I have to explain how to spell it not-quite phonetically. That was twenty-ish years ago. I have so much poo poo wired into that account now it's like that scene in the Matrix where Neo is getting his plugs removed and has all those wires sticking out all over his body.

The other bummer is that I have two legacy google business accounts that I registered during the beta so I get the two domains and hundreds of email boxes and all the apps for free. The pisser is that the domain names are stupid and hard to say over the phone so it becomes another exercise in bad decisions lingering forever. Google keeps trying to get me to make changes to these accounts so they can use it as an excuse to start charging me, but I like them free as they are thank you very much.

I figured it out and helped determine the issue so I'm feeling like a super bad rear end now.


If I wasn't so down on myself about the "math" aspect, I'd find networking fascinating. I know enough to be dangerous so I'll just stick to servers for now I guess? :shrug:

Network is a great thing to be dangerous at. I take great pride in instantly being able to calculate any subnet, but it's not necessary by any means. You would need to be on a pretty huge network for manually summarizing ospf routes or something to be a thing. Even reading a bgp table output is not that important.

I'd rather not post my name, but we're only been able to trace it back to when ancestors migrated into the US in the 1800s out of somewhere in central Europe, almost certainly from what was then a part of the A-H Empire. We think it probably got mangled at immigration to what it is now. The only people with the name these days are my parents and brother, and a small offshoot of distant cousins I've never met, none of which have my first name.

e: It's frustrating, because I really want to know, given how much I enjoy history. My mom's father's side is Irish as gently caress and we're pretty sure it can be traced pretty far back, but we've never tried because Mom was not exactly close or friendly to most of that side of the family, and knowing what town in Ireland my ancestors lived in 400 years ago isn't nearly as interesting to me. /derail

This is me exactly. Great-grandparents from what we think is now part of Belarus around the turn of the 20th century. Name likely mangled. Just my family in NY and some likely cousins in MI with this spelling but nobody knows how they're related. I gobbled up lastname.com and squat it on most social media as soon as I can.

I occasionally get emails for other people. I ended up on the distribution list for someone's preschool class so I'd get emails like "remember to pack a light lunch for the field trip tomorrow" for a few months before they fixed it. I also got a summon for someone's annual car checkup. No credit card statements yet. :)

And also get rid of anyone who has posted retarded shit on the internet."


I got in somewhat early on the gmail train, but still missed first.last even though I'm not overly common. I do share the name of a somewhat-famous 18th-century american poet, and I think someone who was a fan stole it for that. I did get fmlast@ though, so its cool.

My "throwaway" email gets goddamn Gumtree adverts for someone in Aus and also newsletters for a Marge in some retirement community in Arizona. The current drama is that Jim and Diane's new camper almost hangs over the sidewalks, so the community committee needs to have a meeting about whether that is violating any bylaws, and if not, how to create one to prevent this issue.
