Someone let something bad into the network, AV woke up and blew it away, taking a critical DLL with it. This was before ransomware was really a thing fortunately. My team wasn't even responsible for fixing it, but the helpdesk folks weren't able to figure it out so I started experimenting on my machine and fixed it locally. From there, we started cloning CDs and touching workstations until we'd hit every machine in the bank. It was a very long day but hey, I got a spot bonus and a nice dinner out of it.

The amount I have heard this guy on another team say how he doesn't have enough time to learn PowerShell so he's just going to do and touch every PC/mailbox/DL/whatever individually through a GUI drives me crazy. He'd honestly rather spend a day walking a floor than spending half a day writing and testing a script and then 30 minutes deploying it, and then take another day next time a similar request comes up rather than another 30 minutes of deployment - not needing to learn how to script over again. If it works for him then great but I keep trying to let him know that one day he's going to start missing deadlines as everybody around him just gets stuff done, and then it will be too late.

Why didn't you have a method of pushing the dll over the network? Were they dead in the water completely?

I think we had to boot them to safe mode or something, but time and beers have not done much to improve my memory. This was around 10 years ago and long before this particular bank implemented any kind of automated imaging. I assume they're at that point now, but I do know they got crypto-ed a couple of years ago, much to my amusement.

Im the only powershell toucher on my team, because the other two will only use linux and or python. Although there might be some irony that one of our deployment scripts is a python script that runs a powershell script.

I know it's just going from one massive corporation to another but for some reason a Google OS creeps me out a little bit. Implicit in this comment is that I trust Microsoft more, which also seems like a bad idea.

I wish they would just add ChromeOS device support for Intune so we could more easily manage the ones we have. We're starting to push out cellular Chromebooks to some of our users as replacements for their iPads. So far so good, but they aren't able to use Android App version of the M365 software because conditional access is blocking their logins. Our conditional access rules block any mobile device not enrolled via Intune.

It'll take 90 days before you start to feel like you belong, and probably 6-9 months to feel comfortable with things.

I'm also in Tier 2 looking to be my group's L3 but I was also approached by another department and would be a lateral move. Make 15-20k more or keep doing what I'm comfortable with is what's in my head now.

Thanks to the recent talk about password managers I have been going through and adding all our passwords to keepass and have come to the conclusion that most people are complete idiots who should not be allowed to set a password in anty way shape or form. Even the IT staff who should know better set such bullshit weakass passwords its legit scary.
