My company has a whole blockchain technical community. I really hope it's just used to keep track of the people most likely to install miners in production environments.

Vulture Culture posted:You can tell from the assumption that this is planned maintenance that they should be told about, and not an unplanned outage, that they obviously were completely aware of this the entire time I've read this like 10 times and am not sure what you're getting at. There was an enormous amount of communication about this change, and it wasn't just over email (which, true, I didn't say in my quick shitpost since it wasn't meant to be a drat postmortem document). If someone is going to ignore emails, TV's in the office, chat messages, and direct contact from the helpdesk, I don't really know what else could be done  The helpdesk had them up and running on the new VPN within 15 minutes of their complaint. We aren't monsters. It was just the most human_nature.txt thing possible. Methanar posted:I know that people are mining bitcoin using my datacenter's hardware at this very moment.

If he wasn't aware it was going away, the message would have said 'why is the VPN down' or 'can't log in fix it fix it.' By saying 'why didn't anybody tell me' he's tipping his hand to knowing this is a permanent, planned change and just chose to ignore it. And of course he blames IT to save face.

See my red text? I forget when someone paid for it, but it was due to stupid poo poo like this and very little has improved. I figured I would post this out here and you all can make fun of me / tell me how I should have done this in 5 seconds. Situation: Blank server with a UEFI-only firmware loaded onto it, manufacturer only supports UEFI booting due to the shiny new NVME disks that are in it. This is the first server in a datacenter which is going to be the bootstrap for the rest of it. I want to bring a USB stick to install Windows Server 2016 just in case the janky-as-gently caress java viewer ISO mounter doesn't work, and I don't want to deal with a literal DVD in TYOOL 2018. I know, I'll just buy a USB stick, surely this will improve my life. If I could net install this trivially I would, but I assumed this would be easier. Solution: - Partition+format the USB stick into <=16GB FAT32 w/ GPT enabled. (list disk, select disk N, clean (this is the data-nuking part), convert gpt, create primary part size=16000, format fs=fat32 quick, assign)) - Mount (or copy out) all of the Windows Server 2016 files. install.wim will fail, skip it. - `dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:f:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:k:\sources\install.swm /FileSize:4000` (f:\ is your ISO, k:\ is your USB stick.) You will need to be more modern than Windows 7 to do this, I used a Windows Server 2016 VM. - Test it in virtualbox (  )-- Make a new VM, check UEFI, all the cpus and memory, etc. -- Map through your USB stick -- Boot. Fail to the UEFI prompt. type `exit` to get to the firmware configuration screen. -- Edit boot options to remove the UEFI prompt (moving it to last didn't work when I tried it. Not sure why.) Set your USB stick as first. Save. -- Use the "reset system" option inside these menus. Half-solutions I found on the internet: - Use the Windows 7 USB installer program! -- This only makes NTFS + MBR. - Use Rufus you dufus! -- This only works if your device is considered "fixed" by Windows. Removable class devices cannot have the second partition. ("Windows to Go Certified USB Flash Disks" seems to be the magic term.) -- The author smugly says "You don't need a fat32 boot disk!" Then goes on to silently attempt to create a fat32 slice which includes an NTFS driver. Super. See above. -- The author also smugly says "Just disable secureboot and use my unsigned UEFI NTFS driver! It's not a big deal just do it!" See above, and above that. Also way to add a bunch of steps. - You're a loving idiot for using UEFI. (A comment on a Microsoft curated board somewhere.) -- Probably, but here we are. - Pressure the manufacturer into supporting BIOS forever! -- Nope. They're removing all support in 2020-something and all I can say is thank god. Head in the sanding this isn't helping things. It's been coming for a long time now. Plus, I need to do this Tuesday, not in 3-6 months.

Can you setup the server first in your office with MDT/WDS? Does the server uefi support booting an iso over the internet? Can you buy the server with the OS pre installed?

lampey posted:Can you setup the server first in your office with MDT/WDS? Does the server uefi support booting an iso over the internet? Can you buy the server with the OS pre installed? No - That's what this is for, Internet access is something being setup in tandem (out of band exists - 10mbps), No. (Though if we can get it onto our backbone prior to my arrival I can do a WDS over that, just hoping to do things in tandem. It's already a travesty that we have to show up once.)

Certainly the UEFI boot has the ability to boot off an ISO that is on a USB drive...? Other than that, you've spent way more time than a USB CD/DVD drive costs. I still keep one around.

If this is wasting too much of your time and you know you can WDS, go buy a random shitbox laptop with a normal ethernet port from bestbuy for 200 dollars and use that as your bootstrapper. Don't let bullshit get in the way of your schedule.

This all started out as me being in Target grabbing something and thinking "Gee, I bet a USB stick would improve my life!" Then down the rabbit hole of "I will not be defeated by this..." A $200 shitbox laptop wouldn't for my windows skill level, plus I would still need to get Windows Server onto there. (Which I understand I could do that via a optical drive or hoping it still supports BIOS booting, which I assume they all do.) Overall hoping to add a few ounces to my suitcase, not another laptop. Overall I'm impressed that Windows remains harder than Linux and Mac OS to install on a device. The second USB stick took me 1 try to get working: Rufus + CentOS Everything ISO = installed OS once I knew the Virtualbox trick. Even without it I would have been happy just to see it dumped into a partition I knew would get me past the uefi shell.

IIRC, an mdt deployment, when exported to external media, uses a signed UEFI bootloader and will be able to load your windows images from an ntfs volume. (Should be able to load from another partition on the flash drivd, but worst case you can for sure do this with an external HDD. As you discovered, the boot volume on your flash drive still needs to be fat32.

Anyone here interested in this AMAZING OPPORTUNITY that’ll look GREAT on your resume? There are Senior DevOps Developer internships at IBM available! You won’t get paid but the experience you gain will be worth so much more than just money! https://careers.ibm.com/ShowJob/Id/363789/Sr.-DevOps-Developer-Intern-Summer-2019/ Not sure how you can pay Bay Area rent while not getting paid but I guess you’ll have to look at that as an investment in your future.

IBM internships in the bay area for developers pay the equivalent of 60-75k a year. Summer internships only last 2-3 months. All of the big tech companies pay competitive salaries for interns for developers as part of the overall recruitment process. There are probably smaller companies that offer unpaid internships, but overall not common in IT.
