It's been a while, but the malware/ad basically said something to the effect of, "Did you know that PORN can find its way on to ANY computer connected to the internet? Use our propritary software to insure that your machines are PORN-FREE! [and some bible verses here]

My company's own helpdesk is so bad at responding and handling issues in a timely fashion. Every single time, I have to send a reminder to them that I'm still waiting for something. "Hey guys, remember that problem you said you'd research four days ago? It still exists." Indeed, this comic represents better service than I get internally.  http://smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=2247

If you told him that the malware would prevent the *internet* from downloading porn to his computer, so that if porn was found on the computer that would mean it was intentionally downloaded by someone using the computer, I bet he would have let you uninstall the malware. And poo poo pissing me off. Most recent employee survey said that employees would not recommend the company to their friends. Because the job is sucking. We are getting very short staffed, and now when we complain about there not being enough people, we get asked, "well, do you know anyone who's looking?" Yay Catch 22.

myron cope posted:Is there a good way to automate removing a home directory? We've automated disabling and deleting user accounts, but their home folders just hang around forever. We disable for 30 days (and anyone who would want access to their home folder/email box has those 30 days to ask for it or tough poo poo) and then delete the AD account. I just went through and moved a bunch of old home folders manually but we're looking to automate it going forward. I made a powershell script that did exactly what you are asking. my script checks if the ad account hasn't been modified for 90 days. If yes it checks each user in the disabled account OU. and then deletes the home directory and account. Let me know if you are intrested in this. Ill post the script tomorrow then.

I have even more crazy e-mails from that dude. Now he's talking about how he's chummy with Michael Dell's prior CTO and how the ISE is the technology of choice at the various DoD Dark Sites he's worked on. Hint: if you've done work for the Department of Defense, particularly their dark/black sites, you don't talk about the black sites. Here's a short one: quote:I think X-io is the largest private storage company in the world. As for their financials.... we have vetted them in the DOD Acquisition process. I'm never letting this guy have my number seeing as he wants to shoot any contacts he has out into the world. I also had to Google Elul 29, which apparently harkens the collapse of world finance or something. Crazy poo poo. I'll admit, it's a little tough to take this guy seriously and not be insulting.

Well if DoD black sites only want computer components manufactured in the US they must be working on old Apple 2's or something. Which would explain a lot.

Naturally, the guy is stupidly rich and donates tons of money to the church annually (upwards of five figures), so we're required to take him as seriously as humanly possible. Other important notes gleaned from e-mails: -The ISE displaced the storage monsters at Wall Street and the last time Les was up there the ISE was in 41 of the Fortune 100 suites in NYC, especially on the Global financial Network (???). -Les has been working on/at/for DoD Dark Sites for 30+ years. I'm sure the government is thrilled that he tells people this. -He can hook us up with a dude with the following description, who I assume works for free: quote:<name> is not commissioned based and one of the most honest hard working persons I have encountered in my 30 + years working at DoD Dark Sites. Excellent problem solver. I met him first at Storage Networking World when competing against UPS, Pratt and Whitney and Oracle for the Computerworld SNW Worldwide Innovation and Promise category Best Practices Award. Start with him 1st then sales person(s). -He really does just rattle off rewards and accolades like that constantly. -Les has all these incredible, super-powered individuals in his pocket and none of them would mind getting called by some random church techie. -Lockheed Martin and EMC tried to stop this technology (the ISE) from entering the marketplace and spent $58,000,000 to do so. As if that's a lot of money to those corps.

Network was hosed yesterday, DHCP cluster was ignoring discovery, phones were getting assigned IPs out of scope, just a poo poo day full of logs and wireshark before I could reboot our gear at the end of the day. About a week ago I unplugged someone's malware ridden torrent server. Guess where I found this  08/18/2015 00:28:11.10 <Warn:ipSecur.dhcpViol> A Rogue DHCP server on VLAN FBK-DATA with IP $voip-gateway was detected on port 34 08/18/2015 00:28:10.00 <Warn:ipSecur.drpPkt> DHCP violation occurred on port 34. Packet was dropped. Roargasm fucked around with this message at 12:53 on Aug 18, 2015 |

I just hated him because he refused to admit he'd done anything wrong. We went back and forth on "you can't just plug device in" "well I needed some extra ports" "I understand that, but you can't just add network devices" "well I needed some extra ports" - holy poo poo if the next words out of your mouth aren't an apology I swear to god dude

At an extremely remote branch office a few months ago it took me an entire day before I discovered their analog phone system was serving DHCP in addition to their router. That was a fun one.

I don't know what system mews is using, but I've seen some analog pbx's with management ports on them. 9/10 times the phone techs just plug their laptops into it when they need to make changes. Since analog phone techs on average seem to be about as useful as xerox techs, it doesn't surprise me that dhcp would run off of that.

Just had a user yell at me when I asked her to submit a ticket the next time she had a problem. - Let me know if that resolves your issue. Also next time you have an issue like this, could you submit a ticket instead of emailing? - Two weeks ago when you reformatted my computer I told you I'd need <software> but you said no, I didn't ask for this to happen. - Well as you recall we had to reformat your computer because you clicked on a virus email attachment. I don't remember us talking about <software>, but being able to document something like that in a ticket is why we prefer that over emails. - Well.....whatever.Now she is ignoring me over IM when I ask if what I did resolved her issue. TIL: I work with children.
