poo poo pissing me off: My manager, an incompetent and micromanaging dicksneeze. Luckily I have the last rounds of interviews with a different company in a couple of weeks. The notice period here is 2 months, so if I all goes well my only job here the last 2 months is make the life of my manager a living hell.

'Preparing new file server' ticket or whatever On Datastore in /data, I created four new folders, "mkdir purchasing", "mkdir orderrelease", "mkdir supervision", and "mkdir monthlysalesreports" in preparation to move these folders from PDCV2 to Datastore. Once the folders were created, I updated /etc/samba/smb.conf with the users/groups I would be creating for these folders. Datastore - /etc/samba/smb.conf [purchasing] comment=Purchasing Files path=/data/purchasing public=no writable=yes printable=no valid users=@grp_smb_purchasing_rw,@grp_smb_purchasing_ronly write list = @grp_smb_purchasing_rw read list = @grp_smb_purchasing_ronly create mask=777 directory mask = 777 [orderrelease] comment=Order Release Files path=/data/orderrelease public=no writable=yes printable=no valid users=@grp_smb_orderrelease_rw,@grp_smb_orderrelease_ronly write list = @grp_smb_orderrelease_rw read list = @grp_smb_orderrelease_ronly create mask=777 directory mask = 777 [monthlysalesreports] comment=Monthly Sales Report Files path=/data/monthlysalesreports public=no writable=yes printable=no valid users=@grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_rw,@grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_ronly write list = @grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_rw read list = @grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_ronly create mask=777 directory mask = 777 [supervision] comment=Supervision Files path=/data/supervision public=no writable=yes printable=no valid users=@grp_smb_supervision_rw,@grp_smb_supervision_ronly write list = @grp_smb_supervision_rw read list = @grp_smb_supervision_ronly create mask=777 directory mask = 777 I created generic users for the four folders I was looking to move today from PDCV2 to Datastore (Purchasing, OrderRelease, Supervision, and MonthlySalesReports). I opened an SSH connection to Datastore and created the users and set the passwords, adding it to the password list. Now that the users were created, I went through and created the groups and used usermod command below to add each to the corresponding user to the following groups. Groups Added To Datastore - /etc/groups grp_smb_orderrelease_rw:x:742: * buncha usernames * grp_smb_orderrelease_ronly:x:743: grp_smb_supervision_rw:x:744: * buncha usernames * grp_smb_supervision_ronly:x:745: grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_rw:x:746: * buncha usernames * grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_ronly:x:747: grp_smb_purchasing_rw:x:724: * buncha usernames * grp_smb_purchasing_ronly:x:725: I confirmed that the user was added to the groups by running the command "groups purchasing", "groups supervision", "groups orderrelease", and "groups monthlysalesreports". [root@DataStoreV2 etc]# groups purchasing purchasing : purchasing grp_smb_purchasing_rw [root@DataStoreV2 etc]# groups orderrelease orderrelease : orderrelease grp_smb_orderrelease_rw [root@DataStoreV2 etc]# groups supervision supervision : supervision grp_smb_supervision_rw [root@DataStoreV2 etc]# groups monthlysalesreports monthlysalesreports : monthlysalesreports grp_smb_monthlysalesreports_rw After adding the users to the groups, and the new shares were added to /etc/samba/smb.conf, I restarted samba by running the command "service smb restart" and confirmed that samba restarted by running "service smb status" which returned "smbd (pid 38931) is running...". I also ran the command "smbstatus" which shows all connection to samba which I confirmed users were connected. I also verified I could access samba shares on Datastore on my PC to be 100% certain it was working. I verified my new user was working by modifying my login script and confirming it was mapping the drives using the new user rather than production. **Complete** [root@DataStoreV2 samba]# service smb restart Shutting down SMB services: [ OK ] Starting SMB services: [ OK ] [root@DataStoreV2 samba]# service smb status smbd (pid 38931) is running... Once this was done, I tested on my PC, connecting to each share using net use and verifying I could connect, create, modify, and delete files in each share. I plan on switching users over to use Datastore this week for these four directories., **Pending Login Script Updates** EDIT - 1/16/2020 - MB - ORDER RELEASE MIGRATION FROM PDCV2 TO DATASTORE - COMPLETE This morning, I went through TbfUserLoginScripts and updated all users with a drive mapping for \\Datastore\orderrelease\ which is now hosted on Datastore instead of \\PDCV2\OrderRelease. I updated J---- , Q---- , J, E, and P. I marked their old mappings inactive and marked the new ones Active in TbfUserLoginScripts. I tested on each PC that the mappings worked correctly. On \\PDCV2, I have moved all the contents of the F:\OrderRelease\ to F:\OrderRelease-OBSOLETE. I let J---- know that all of his users that map to Order Release are now mapped to the new server. **Complete** EDIT - 1/16/2020 - MB - PURCHASING MIGRATION FROM PDCV2 TO DATASTORE - SCHEDULED - 1/17/20202 I prepped the login scripts in TbfUserLoginScripts, adding mappings for Datastore for \\Datastore\purchasing which are not marked active yet. My plan is to updated users tomorrow morning to use \\Datastore\purchasing\ instnead of \\PDCV2\orderrelease\. I gave J---- a heads up that I would be updating Purchasing tomorrow. **Pending Migration - 1/17/2020** TbfUserLoginScripts User Accounting06 AccountingIntern *a bunch more users*

Speaking of tickets, someone removed my access to the ticket system sometime this fall. I still get the email notifications, but trying to open the ticket to look at it just redirects me to our self-service page. Part me wants to just leave it that way, but eventually I might need to actually open a ticket for something and it would be good to be able to skip the self-service system.

Does anybody have any experience with walkie talkies (ok, ok, PMR radios if you want to be all proper about it) and interfacing with something else? I'd like to be able to give 6-8 people in a warehouse a radio but allow for people in the office to call into the group that the radios are on if they need to get a quick answer on something or let them know a delivery has arrived or whatever. Obviously with the one-way nature of radios that could be tricky but a system where a phone user dials the radio system and then a radio user pressing to talk lets them talk while the person on the phone stays quiet could be workable. Is this something that exists or is it such a usability nightmare in practise that nobody bothers?

If you don't have an established radio system you could also use something like a DECT system to potentially accomplish the same communications goals in a more phone-like fashion.

The users historically ran a repair script to replace the corrupted access files using a horrendous windows scripting file. It's an absolute bullshit solution that I (attempted) to kill with this move by implementing for coworker PDQdeploy to repair remotely. But they're getting daily corruptions and the ideal version of windows 10 that doesn't exhibit this, 1709 ENT, is EOL this year. The thing is my coworker never brought it to my attention and he just did thing that always worked. I can't fix or troubleshoot what I don't know.

There are ways to provide rule based elevated access to certain applications. If it's going to be a long term thing, you really don't want them to have general admin access, and have the budget for it. Ivanti is one such example, I'm sure there are more.

Speaking of desk adventures... At my new job, I don't really have an assigned desk. Due to space limitations, I'm essentially sitting at an open desk that other team members use when they are in the building. These team members have permanent desks in another building. I lost my spot twice today when I left for various meetings. Even better, both people that sat in my spot have been sick recently. Ok, no problem. I went and chatted up a couple of sweet old ladies down the hall. Turns out they have a small office that has been vacant for a while and they offered it to me. I'm setting up shop in there and my team will have to pry me out. Hughmoris fucked around with this message at 05:09 on Jan 17, 2020 |

Things are _much_ more civilised when you know you're chained together for a few more months. At a previous job I worked to the last day, handed everything over all professional-like and that was it. --- After nuking all our Windows Server 2008 boxen there's only one left. It runs exactly two license servers and absolutely nothing else. Windows Server in general has been entirely excised from the environment. We've been debating whether to buy a Server 2019 Standard license but looking at the core counts on the hypervisors and the utterly insane licensing terms of Windows Server, we settled on dumping the license servers on a Win10 LTSC box and washing our hands off the whole thing. gently caress license servers, seriously.

Most license servers are just flexlm/lm tools. As long as the MAC address and host name is identical you could replace them as you like. We in-place upgraded our Autodesk license servers from 2008r2 to 2012r2 without a hitch but I think I could have done the same by just reinstalling from scratch while keeping the license file
