Here's a really stupid bug: Usernames for our mobile app are not case sensitive. However, if you log in with the wrong case, you'll be able to log in, but unable to actually do anything like check in to jobs or upload invoices. And pretty much all our overseas devs are on vacation for 2 weeks for the lunar New Year lol

Some time later after people complain to my boss... Boss: It's unacceptable that the staff workroom printer is no longer available.

Anyone know anything about Zoho Mail? CEO has seen that it is half the price of GSuite.. As much as I am against switching, money talks unfortunately and I might have to actually end up switching.

How do you compete against other people in the company who work 2-3 hours at home (and on the weekends)? In management's eyes they are seen as the ultimate go-getter etc. Management doesn't see that they're creating more problems because of their half-rear end solutions, they just see them as doing work and helping other people.

If your leadership is focusing on efforts, then there's isn't much you can do about it except try to get them to focus on the results. Showing management requires some sort of data proving extra work or rework is caused by lovely results. Even if gathering the data is possible, management may not be willing to listen which depends on several factors. oh rly fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 27, 2018 |

Not so much pissed off, as frustrated, but we just moved entirely to Skype in the Cloud for Business, with no on-prem component. That's fine. What's not fine is my team wasn't given updated information on how to access and manage attributes like the SIP that's part of our job when someone needs a name change executed. No, gently caress that, I just got in an email quote:I am acting for Lorraine and I need to get her computer password. Thought I knew it but its not working. Can someone please help asap? Thanks

I managed to scavenge some generic universal rack rails from the Datacenter waste/discard pile so I'm fine(old HDS stock, fat powder coated steel rather than chintzy plastic, so they are not as flimsy as the "premium" QNAP rails). I'll have to either grind some extra metal from my junker rack or just buy a new one, it's not the first time a cheap rail get stuck and self destructs on this piece of junk

Do you have any executive backup on that? Our acceptable use policy came in an email straight from the COO, so the exec assistant asking for the password reset on someone else’s account and namedropping the CEO kind of backfired.

The announcement of the training came straight from the President, and the policy owners of Digital Security in general are a VP and the CFO. I also passed the user's response to the senior analyst on service desk, because I have more users with reasonable requests to help.silicone thrills posted:When you do end up figuring out that stuff can you sum up the pros/cons?

The on prem management portal is so dog poo poo slow that I can go get a cup of coffee before the thing comes up. I got the infrastructure guy to give me some info, because I really wanted to know personally, and the big thing is "almost everything is now managed via powershell." It also updates itself from AD more completely, so there's less user management. But the actual admin console is pretty bare bones. We don't use it for phones though, so that may make a difference. If you're good with powershell, it's probably worth it just so you can get rid of a few servers (VM or bare metal). It was a very seamless transition for us once everyone was moved over. The test group who was moved initially to the cloud version couldn't receive messages from on-prem users, but it was all good once everyone was clouded.

Stevewm, put this in terms of "cost of ownership," and "poor customer experience" for a better shot at convincing your boss that you get what you pay for. Whatever they're going to save in costs of email, they're going to spend in additional support and having to fix this poo poo this breaks.

Our Security team that agreed on a base set of assumptions about a new cloud setup for us 3 months ago suddenly decided to change their mind and told our junior dev to start revoking access, api keys, and changing SG to put the new turnup at an immediately halt but they didn't inform our people working on it or the new developers we were onboarding. It went so well I had to disconnect from a conference call mid-call and go walk around outside for 30 minutes. I might be getting to involved in this job and need to calm my poo poo down.

skooma512 posted:You mean goods and services aren’t free? Yeah, currently the plan is to use this as an excuse to expand our network a little bit and host a NAS in a location that's only used for storage of other objects that belong to the company, in a building the company owns. That way we have a data on site, a backup on site and a backup offsite, with minimal overhead but we'll see if I can get that all pushed through. Sounds like it'll be a fun project and it won't cost us anything if we own the site, its just more to maintain. Also its easier to sell a one time cost than it is to sell a subscription based cost. Maybe i'll get lucky and he'll say yes? I don't know, maybe I should have worked for a big boy company rather than a small boy company. Lack of certs, though.
