Got the weirdest request from Finance they have a huge mailbox used for travel coordination (we have a very mobile staff) and in that inbox are subfolders by year , then location then month, then week......then PO number (!!!!) so naturally this makes searching for things a drag. And performance sucks. The OWA option was shot down as they think they can have backup and data retention with a copy of the mailbox stored on a VM hosted in the building, the issue being if they need to rapidly look up a series of PO numbers or other details they can get an intern to login to the box and pull all the long term records. The cherry on this cake is they'd like a tool that wasn't outlook based to search the PST (Im suggesting PST- they wanted the mailbox structure translated into explorer folder structure with MSGs as the files) . Does this even exist cos I cant get poo poo online except for a free PST Explorer which I don't think can cut it Can anyone steer me in the right direction? Is anyone out there wasting time coding this kind of poo poo? FRIDAYS.

At least Scott Adams had the decency to give us a rough dividing line between old Dilbert and blatantly using his comic as a mouthpiece for his diatribes with the change from the classic shirt and striped tie to the red shirt.

Honestly I'd place it at when he dropped the email address to submit office stories from the panel margins, which was a bit before then. Since that marked when he no longer thought he needed all the real life office stories the strip was built on.

He handed me a stack of floppies that seemed like it was a foot tall, and said, "Put disk 1 in the first computer and follow the directions. When it's done, take it out, and move it to the next computer. The put disk 2 in. Do that all the way down the line." The line being 30 computers per classroom, across two rooms. Hell, that's cocaine to anybody. Sugar + water is incredibly addictive.

ABSENTEE SUPERVISOR is on a call with C-LEVEL WITH WHOM EIKRE HAS A POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP, which was in progress since before EIKRE arrived. The office is absolutely silent except for the telephone conversation, which resounds with perfect clarity immediately next to EIKRE's loving face as he sits at his own goddamned desk, and not in, for example, one of the three other empty rooms in the suite that have closing doors. Do you have access to nuclear weapons?

iospace posted:But why? The reason is valid. We run dynamics AX 2012R2 for our ERP. It's *incredibly* sensitive to latency and maintaining 220 end user client versions has been a nightmare. I totally support the project, but the ignorance of what something like that will cost just makes me grouchy.

That's what we did with MS Dynamics GP at one job. Then the most recent job we had the ERP cloud hosted and everyone just used a web GUI. Except a few people who needed a different version, they used Citrix.

Thanks Ants posted:Windows Virtual Desktop has launched into public preview and it actually looks quite impressive. That's going to be my life next week I think. Agreed, it's looking loving baller. I'm thinking of, well, rethinking how I provide desktop availability in outages. Not having used Dynamics before D356, was there no way to move to the m365 option from past installations? Or was it hyper clunky to do so, like moving from SP Server to SharePoint online?

I was rummaging through my shared drive and stumbled on to a couple old gems from tier-1 I had stored away because they make me smile, and it's probably been long enough that I can share them without worrying about identifying garbage. A ticket came in. Guy tries to back up his win7 machine before everything gets imaged to 10, is surprised to discover the harddrive is full and there's a giant nested structure of PC Name/Backup/PC Name/Backup... folders on the desktop. quote:It was discovered that the customer attempted to backup his Desktop onto the Desktop of the same computer he was backing up. As the backup utility performed a backup of the customer's Desktop, the backup utility was also attempting to backup newly transferred data. Essentially the utility was attempting to backup itself. This scenario essentially caused a perpetual backup loop that eventual filled the customer's hard drive with multiple redundant backups of the customer's Desktop. I still think about that every time I hear this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVB_DI4ajKA And my personal favorite: A ticket came in. "User who is teleworking today stated that she was working in a Word document when suddenly, what looked like a bug was moving around her screen. She said it looks like a gnat. She stated that it doesn't matter what she's in, the bug stays there, moving around. I had the user shut down her computer and unplug it." Of course, this got sent to the Malware team, because why not. They punted it over to the computer touchers where it belongs, and lo and behold. quote:I took a look at a video of the bug that user took and it looked like a real bug that was in the screen. User left a message for me at the end of the day and indicated that she tapped the screen and a real bug fell out of the screen. Therefore, I'm closing out this ticket as resolved since it was a small bug within the screen. Attaching the video. Closing ticket. I still have the video, naturally.

The problem with this is that I manage 9 direct reports so I have to be in the office We've outsold our staff considerably and it takes 2-3 months to get a new hire to actually be useful, I'm burning out quick and I'm not sure how we're going to do all this.
