The same is true if you want to use security groups in either On Premise or AAD to grant full access / send as for Exchange online mailboxes; they need to be mail enabled. It's pretty trivial to use PowerShell to mass mail enable the groups and then hide them from the GAL at the same time. A little time syncing (depending on location) and you're done

We used to get this zip code software for our IBM. Every few months you get a CD in the mail (that you pay for) and then the IBM guy had to load the disc up

I asked if he could just download it instead of paying for the CD. he called and asked and they said no

A couple months later they email saying they siwtched to downloads only. My theory was the CD burner broke

Jesus Christ is that ZIP/CITY? We still get that via CD in the mail.

The guy in the cube next to me is literally singing with his headphones in. It is days like these where I am reminded how much I would like to work from home.

At one of my last jobs the guy would watch Netflix or Youtube in his cube every day and instead of laughing out loud he would giggle and rub his hands together. Eventually I started tracking every time he did that and it got to over 25 one day so I told my boss and he was put on any printer ticket and imaging computers all day.

I knew a guy who got told his vehicle was inappropriate. But to be fair, he was visiting customers and was driving his wife's farm truck because some of these customers lived out in the country, down lovely roads and so the 'image thing' was a valid issue.

Actually, now I think about it, that also happened to me once. No credit check or formal warning, though.
At the time, I said something along the lines that as they weren't paying me much, I chose not to prioritise a shiny car but if they paid me more, I'd upgrade.

If a company gives a poo poo about someone's vehicle then they are welcome to provide one they feel is more appropriate. Does it get them to work on time? Cool, it's doing the trick.

I read it this morning and thought it was great considering I had to attend a company wide "Anti-Bullying & Harassment" training seminar on the same day. While nothing particularly unlawful had actually taken place you can bet a court would want a drat good explanation to back up their justification, but if I understand American law you're pretty much SOL regardless.

What's people's preferred way to run console applications as a Windows service? I have a big VM in Azure that I am going to power up on-demand as it's used to render images, and I need to load up the render node and pass a very basic command line switch along to it to tell it where to look for jobs.

Is there any reason not to use the PowerShell New-Service command?

I would use a machine level startup batch instead of a service for that. Unless you need the script ran after a specific service going up it�s more flexible that way.

WTF for the day:

code:

#   BOSS Note:   To prevent Linux from using the port numbers that FORMER EMPLOYEE is using here, we have to reserve the                                      
#   port numbers.   This prevents linux from assigning them when making outgoing connections.    Example:  FORMER EMPLOYEE wants to
#   use port 34356 but ds keeps using it to connect to erp.   ds.ourcompany.com:34356 -> erp.ourcompany.com:3306
#   to reserve the port numbers edit /etc/sysctl.conf and modify the net.ipv4.ip_local_reserved_ports entry.   Currently it looks like
#   this:  "net.ipv4.ip_local_reserved_ports=34354,34355,34356,34357,34358,34359,34360,34361,34362,34363"
#   save the file and then run "sysctl -p" to reload the configuration from the config files.  Ports should be reserved.
#   DON'T FORGET TO CHANGE THE BACKUP SERVER ALSO!!!!
#
for port in $SQL
do
  #production
  nohup /usr/bin/php /usr/local/apache2/www/ATBarcodeListener.php $port >> /home/RFIDtickets/ATBarcodeListener_$port.txt &
  #devel
  #nohup /root/php-build/php-5.3.5/sapi/cli/php /usr/local/apache2/www/ATBarcodeListener.php $port >> /home/RFIDtickets/ATBarcodeListener_$port.txt &

Daylen Drazzi: Mar 10, 2007; Why do I root for Notre Dame? Because I like pain, and disappointment, and anguish. Notre Dame Football has destroyed more dreams than the Irish Potato Famine, and that is the kind of suffering I can get behind.

So I'm finishing up my third week of Short-Term Disability after getting an abscess. Got admitted to the hospital right after New Year's when I had an unbearable pain when trying to sit. loving thing was super-infected and the tissue turned necrotic. I was in the hospital for 5 days because I also suffered acute kidney injury (either from some of the drugs or because of the contrasting dye they used for the CT scan). Abscess was 3" deep and about the size of a loving oversized golf ball, and the tissue that turned necrotic was the size of an old silver dollar coin.

I'd managed to avoid hospitals for drat near 47 years, and all of a sudden I was admitted twice within 6 months. Not my finest year. Work, fortunately, was very understanding. I figured I'd have to burn my PTO and sick leave, but our HR department was like "nope - call this number and start STD. Concentrate on healing and taking care of yourself. Your job will be here when you get back." I was actually shocked - pretty much every job I've ever had was all "gently caress you for getting sick. Get back to work peon!" and then my current employer ruins my image of all companies as soulless machines that dispose of broken parts with careless abandon.

I once briefly worked for a commodity trading business that did a full background and credit check on all new hires. I had to have a private conversation with the president of the company about my student loans at the time because they were concerned they were too large (around $25k) at the time. Basically I had to explain to him my plan to pay them off, which was an odd conversation... my plan depended on me being gainfully employed and thus earning income to pay them off!

About 4 months into that job they announced that while they would still be doing credit checks they wouldnt concern themselves with student loan debt anymore. They were shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover that the majority of applicants under 30 had some sort of student loan debt.

But I guess when you inherit the company from your father and get all of your post secondary paid for by your parents this comes to news as you.
