The Iron Rose posted:Honestly, it's a big shame so many people in IT are introverts. Nobody talks to each other! I've been home today and the silence is loving glorious. However apparently one of our sites is closing next week "as a test", here's the rub... - Our VPN infra requires certificates to authenticate - Windows devices are fine, they automatically get certs pushed to them - Half of this office uses Mac equipment - Although we have Jamf it only has a barebones setup - Macs are not fine, they dont get certs

Also Mac's don't support certs that are valid for 10 years. I think it's anything valid for more than three, but I'm not certain. That breaks a lot of garbage self signed certs that companies make because NO ONE ON EARTH UNDERSTANDS CERTIFICATES

Terrible communication skills applies equally to both extroverts and introverts. Your team's behaviour has nothing to do with being talkative.

Is anyone else actually getting poo poo done at work this week? I have done nothing at all today besides talk about COVID-19, attend meetings about COVID-19, discuss WFH logistics with my boss, fellow team members, other teams, post on Slack about what other schools in the state are doing about COVID-19, make gallows humor about COVID-19, update KB articles about COVID-19, and just generally feel stressed out about COVID-19. We are the largest university in the state and no decision has been made yet whether we are moving to a virtual instruction model even though all other major universities have today announced they will. We all know it's going to happen but are sitting on our hands waiting for the announcement. Arghh.

I looked on Glassdoor and everything was so positive I was getting suspicious. One of their recruiters reached out to me a couple weeks ago and I had an initial call with them this morning. Everything felt really positive and the call ended with the expectation that they'd be scheduling me for the next stage in 2-3 days. It's weird, over the last 2 weeks I've gone from barely caring that they exist to being legitimately excited to have an opportunity to work for them.

Turns out all the work I did setting everyone in the company up with Zoom and being 100% SaaS with no on-prem infrastructure paid off! It dawned on everyone that they can just stay home with no impact at all.

I am so sick of hearing about COVID-19. You can't just magic solutions out of thin air with 0 notice. I'm sorry your business continuity plan didn't consider something like this and I get that you want 100% productivity while making no sacrifices and spending no money, but I honestly don't loving care. Top it all off with the state of healthcare in this country and the way the primary is going and I just don't loving care about the fake "well it looks like we're doing something" bullshit. At this point it's like trying to stop the normal flu. Good luck with that without any sweeping societal changes.

Welp they finally announced all classes canceled for the next 2 days, resuming Monday in "alternative" (remote) formats until April 21. All gathers of more than 100 people canceled. All study abroad canceled. No directives yet for staff.

Two of our sites have had confirmed Covid cases. Still not been told to work from home. Great management. also big lols: our always on vpn server has never had more than like 3 people on it concurrently. Pretty sure it'll instantly die if even 10% of the 2.5k laptops we have try to connect. Also 2020 and still no org wide chat.

Currently overhearing a conversation about our VPN and VDI solutions and it sounds great. I've been planning on moving our VDI over from Hroizon cloud to Azure Windows Virtual Desktop, persistent to non-persistent and just haven't been allowed to make it a priority yet. I have a feeling it'll be a priority shortly.

I have one lob application left that people need the vpn for. Everything else can be done from anywhere with a web browser as long as they have the ms authenticator app on their phone. Only one department uses this application, so I only have to worry about 14 users on my VPN. Our biggest concern is being able to process checks in the event our building is closed, so we're setting up a micr printer at a remote site for that purpose.

Sirotan posted:No directives yet for staff. You'd think, considering current developments, that it would be prudent to perhaps involve IT in planning so people can do their work remotely. But, as usual, nobody seems to consider involving IT in this, so when the state ministry decides to close the university they'll be shocked that nothing was prepared. I don't feel like wildly implementing things like a headless chicken when there's a good chance they'll never be used. So, so far, only select few people have VPN access, and only two people (colleague and me) have "backdoor" access via ssh tunneling over a bastion host.

On the flip side, we were on our weekly team meeting with our manager and he asked if any of us were feeling impacted by COVID-19. To a person we were "We work 80-100% remote normally so this isn't anything different." The only impact is setting up office hours with our customers and helping them figure out their Teams/Zoom/WebEx poo poo so we can set up virtual office hours. My customer today forgot to set the meeting to unmoderated so I sat there with a "waiting for someone to let you into the meeting" message for twenty minutes while trying to get a hold of her to change the setting. #WeWillRebuild

We are predominantly cloud with not a lot of on-prem stuff left thankfully and that’s already set up through zScaler. However, our technicians provide support services to hospitals so staffing is probably gonna be a real challenge soon!

I feel like I'm stuck in a self sustaining loop. My job is boring as poo poo and 95% of it is making phone calls and sending emails. I want to change career paths, but I have no idea what I want to do, and I don't see how I can get a feel for anything else besides what I've been doing so far(NOC Engineer). Has anyone ever had this issue before? If so, how did you deal with it?

Our VPN setup right now is equipped to handle maybe 40% of the company trying to work remote. 30% of the company have jobs that aren't doable remotely, and the remaining 30% have jobs that can be done remotely, but they are so technologically illiterate that I'm not sure they could work remote regardless of how much we tried to hold their hand. And we sure as poo poo don't have anywhere near enough laptops to give out to cover any sort of significant increase in WFH demand, and there is no loving chance the management would buy any to fill that need. They are mostly conservative boomers who are loudly in the "It's just a flu bro" camp.
