ChubbyThePhat posted:This is also my experience. What a day. The users were actually really positive outside of auto complete not migrating (new outlook profile). The devs though. gently caress the devs. We had meeting after meeting "What will break when we switch tenants?" and meeting after meeting everyone said it would be fine. Of course a million things break and those devs are now screaming the loudest. We also apparently had users who only collaborated with the office 365 sharing with office documents instead of using the shared drives.

We encourage our users to collaborate through O365 Sharing, OneDrive or Sharepoint over using the shared drives. Supposedly one day we will eliminate the shared drives entirely. A couple months ago we did an org-wide UPN change. Guess what was broken for 2-3 days afterwards?

Delicious. I just don't like the idea of onedrive/sharepoint be invovled with people's office documents in a shared capacity.

I really hate people who won't even try really basic poo poo. Someone calls in. One of their two monitors just went black. Sounds like a loose cable to me, can you check? Oh, you did check. Alright, I'll get someone over there. *start writing up ticket, asking for more information* Wait, you didn't check the cable? Then why'd you say you... never mind, can I just get you really quick to pull the power cable and plug it back in to make sure it's seated correctl... no you won't? You don't know how to unplug something. really?

My intuition is that they actually want a new monitor and are trying to find a way to claim their current one is too unreliable to do their job.

Managers screaming "Don't waste your time loving with the computer, we have an IT department. Don't touch anything, just call them and they will fix it. Now find something else to do while your computer is broken." And it turns into an attitude where they believe they are too busy to troubleshoot over the phone, and aren't allowed to do simple poo poo at the request of IT.

If I /really/ like the users, I will migrate their autocomplete to the new profile with MFCmapi. It's not a hugely painful process once I figured out how the hell it worked. I don't like many users that much.

If the brand starts with "S" and ends with "amsung", not really. Wait for it to request a power-cycling because it otherwise can't handle a routine cleaning print. Or locking all ongoing jobs because it's out of toner (with no notice) or just because it feels like it. I do kind of want to sideload Kodi on it, so I'll look productive while actually watching cartoons...

If it's old and/or leased then yeah whatever, but replacing the imager isn't a difficult task. If there was a plan to keep this machine around then it's probably worth repairing. Obviously if half the machine needs taking apart then gently caress that.

If you did a migration between Exchange servers, wouldn't the autocomplete data have come with that? IIRC it's stored inside the mailbox.

Sure. https://github.com/stephenegriffin/mfcmapi download the tool here Export: -- Sessions > Logon > Outlook profile (this is the one to copy the cache from) -- IPM_SUBTREE > Folder/Account you need -- Drill down to Inbox folder, right click, and open Associated Contents Table -- Look for the line that has IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete, right click, Export Message -- Chose MSGfile format (unicode makes your life much easier) Import: -- Sessions > Logon > Outlook profile (this is the one you import to) -- Same as above, find IPM_SUBTREE, find Inbox folder -- Right click Inbox > Open Associated Contents Table *If there is an existing IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete, delete it -- Folder > Import > From MSG > Find your exported file > "Load message into current folder" -- Open their new Outlook profile and the cache should be there If these instructions suck the big dick, send me a pm and I'll clarify as I can.

Have they integrated the autofill with the address book or any other part of the account with Exchange 2016? This has been a problem since, like, Office 2003 or 2007; you'd think Microsoft would have fixed it by now.

Okay, someone tell me that I'm dumb, but LDAP shouldn't do this. Client is trying to authenticate over LDAP with our equipment. Should auto-populate user email address on user login. They only want users from a particular group to be able to authenticate. If I point the search base at the user's group, LDAP authenticates but doesn't populate the email. If I point the search base at the base DC, it provides the email.(Uh) Also, if I point the search base at the user's group, non-group users can still login just fine.(Wtf) It makes no sense!

Why do we give some people computers? Why do we still employ these fuckers? Our 'R&D manager' has been here like 25 years. Can't use a computer to save his life. Spends most of his day in Solidworks (3D CAD). And when I say that, I mean clicking back and forth because he doesn't know how to do poo poo. Today's ticket: Tried to access wiring folder in AutoCAD directory. Need access to all AutoCAD folders in that directory. Works fine. He's using the file open dialog box and there just aren't any AutoCAD files in that folder to open up and look at. Also it took him a good 10 minutes to figure out that's not the folder he wanted to be in. He has to spend at least an hour a day futzing around in Windows if not two hours. Just give this mother fucker a drafting table.

Peachfart posted:Okay, someone tell me that I'm dumb, but LDAP shouldn't do this. Search base is where the ldap lookup starts at. Think of it like looking for a file in a directory tree, you can start at the root and search every sub directory, or if you know roughly where it is you can start further up the tree and not search everything. You want a filter if you want to constrain to a certain group.

They did maintenance last night and there was a brief connectivity hiccup to the SAN because multipathing didn't do it's job on like, 2 VMs. Our poo poo is so redundant that it wasn't even noticeable to the customer. Yeah, let's fix it, but let's not even OH WAIT NO JUST KIDDING LET'S EVERYONE FREAK OUT! My boss is losing. his. mind. This is a sev1. VMware's getting bitched at for not being fast enough to respond. It's all hands on deck, and I can't see him but I'm pretty sure my boss is pouring sweat. Dude, 2 out of a couple thousand VMs lost connection to storage for a few minutes, causing a few clusters to failover. Who the gently caress cares?
