To be fair if I was an agent of chaos on my way to be extradited to US jails in my 70s, I too would make the same claim before punching that ticket. It’s his last and greatest act! Well, second greatest. The whale loving is kinda unparalleled.

It's John McAfee. Not to go all q-anon conspiracy nutso, but would it really be that surprising if this wasn't his last act? "Faking his own death" absolutely sounds like a McAfeean stunt.

It's definitely plausible, but he was also 75 and had treated his body like poo poo. It's more likely that it caught up to him. edit - oh duh, I hadn't read the news yet and everyone's calling it a suicide. so scratch that. xzzy fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Jun 23, 2021 |

Although MS's "non-persistent" is a bit of a misnomer, because those VDIs continue existing after reboot and only get destroyed on a new golden image redeploy, which is different than how everyone else handles it. So in theory it probably "mostly works," even for non-persistent. And yeah, Microsoft is generally pretty good about supporting their stuff in Preview. They are trying to get the product out the door, after all.

Just in case anyone else is curious about the topic, here's the latest I'm aware of. Although my new place doesn't have Azure Virtual Desktops and seems to have some weird aversion to cloud. They're talking about trying to extend their Horizon deployment to Azure because ??? and we're also looking at running containers in Tanzu for both on-prem and in the cloud because "cloud agnostic" sounds nice oh yeah and we'll use VMware in AWS because ??? and then we'll use VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery for DR and and and.... I'm tired, folks. Real tired. Oh, and all VMs will continue to be on-prem first, with no plans of migrating them because ????

Just wanted to say the postings here were inspirational on how some of you started at low levels in IT and moved up quickly after a few years. I just moved from a horrible job I was at for 2 years. Basically did everything there Tier 1, Tier 2, NOC, system admin, etc. There were P1s happening at that location multiple times a week... crazy place. It's very weird this week starting this new job. For some reason I'm not exhausted when I get home and instantly just having dinner and going to bed. I didn't realize how much that job was negatively affecting my health and my quality of life. Besides that this new position is remote and pays a lot more!

I got into my career before SA even existed, because I could set up a PPP connection on a linux machine and I had a friend that worked at the ISP that hired. Then about a year into it we were all in the NOC thinking this new JeffK thing was the funniest thing ever.

Beyond that though, I can’t count the amount of times I’ve come off like an idiot here so I could sound way smarter at work. It’s been such a joy to see everyone ITT grow and progress in their careers, and I find this community extraordinarily valuable.

If it's non-persistent of either flavor... expect to keep waiting for a bit. After doing some digging today I came across this doozy.  You either have to have on-prem ad or spend money on the new SCCM. Yuck. Personal virtual desktop host pools use intune/endpoint manager just fine.

When I was hired for the new job I was told a reason they decided to hire me is because they thought I be would a valuable hire that would grow with the company in the years to come. Of course my plan is to learn everything I can learn and get experience in everything I can. Once I stop learning and have mastered the job then time to move on.

Supported a customer today (I'm presales at a vendor) because our reporting was off - all users were showing with the same name in our system. After a day of troubleshooting everything in our system, engaging support urgently, we found the problem - all of their users have the same SID - they don't sysprep, or create new users, they just clone devices and rename the user. They currently have thousands of devices affected by this. This is going to be fun.

Yep, that was an interesting e-mail I wrote to the VP of technology. I could theoretically walk away but I'll just wait for them to try and solve it, I told them to engage Microsoft, because in the end I need to sell the product  Also yeah they probably have the same machine SIDs as well. I don't know how it's not causing any other issues (perhaps it is and they just don't know it). Best part is they asked *us* to contact Microsoft to help with the problem. We have no relation to Microsoft, no current contract with the customer or anything, we're just running a POC. Lmao. orange sky fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Jun 24, 2021 |

Yeah, I've definitely got an eyebrow raised over here. Machine SID really shouldn't matter and hasn't for a long time. And "rename the user account" also sounds strange. The individual user accounts should still show up as individual users...?

The individual user accounts should still show up as individual users...? Our system IDs users by their SID, which (in all our other customers, so far, that I'm aware of) are unique because the system is sysprepped. There's something to be said of how we do it, sure, and I'll send a note to engineering that it isn't ideal, but completely cloning a device and changing the username in the system is definitely not the best practice.. And yes, these are local accounts, they're managing them through Intune. I'm pretty sure we're not the only system in existence that tells users apart by SID as opposed to usernames, at least that's how it makes sense (e.g. multiple local users with the same name). So even in the future with other products they could have problems with this. This is not their entire estate, they have some domain-joined ones that don't have this problem. orange sky fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jun 24, 2021 |

Ah, okay, so that detail matters. If a machine doesn't join the domain, it doesn't get a new SID. I guess a company that only uses local machines with only local accounts probably does need a third party tool to tell which machines are which and which users are which.

Yeah when I used to image computers using Novell, all our desktops had the same SID. Wasn't an issue. Not the case now with SCCM though.

A couple of months ago I was passed to a new boss and she is micromanaging the poo poo out of me. After many years of bosses almost completely ignoring me this is especially annoying. She treats me like she thinks I'm stupid and inexperienced. Also she is a terrible communicator, and it's exhausting trying to explain something to her while she talks over me. Like my last boss she is always hostile, as if I did something to her. I'm working on a Powerpoint at her behest (The reason is a long and tedious story I won't go into) and I just emailed her the third version. A few minutes later she replies that she wants it in PDF format so she can edit it and mark it up. Well... ok. I save as PDF and send it to her. A few minutes later she replies that she meant ppt format. But... that's what I sent her in the first place, so I sent it to her again.  EDIT: I can barely remember what it was like to have a boss who acted as if we were on the same side. 2004? Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Jun 24, 2021 |
