Zaepho posted:Small shops need automation too. Start with things that eat up a lot of time like User Provisioning or things that are almost never done well like User De-Provisioning and start automating. Then start looking to hook that automation into the HR processes so IT never has to look at them again. That's definitely an idea. I've been thinking way too big and doing stuff within my confines would be a much better plan. Thank you.  I appreciate it.

One of our satellite campuses in the city got their internet line cut yesterday accidentally by construction. Notices went out and it was eventually fixed around 10pm last night. Inconvenient but nothing earth-shattering. Today around 8:30am I get an email from our tech guy over there saying all their connectivity is gone as of 10am this morning. Well, it's early, he probably just made a typo. So I send a shout up the tree that there might still be issues, and email back asking to clarify the time the issue happened, and has he tried rebooting the stuff yet today since it was fixed last night? Nope nope, 10am, and yes, he's rebooted stuff. Hrm. Send an official ticket out to save time, but also email to point out "Hey, it's not 10am yet." Oh, he's reporting yesterday's outage. Who told us about it? Our automated alerts did, and then our infrastructure team called him, yesterday, and talked with him about the problem. He's a good guy, and knows his stuff, so I just had to have a chuckle over the miscommunication.

This may be weird. But every time I go to the datacenter I get sleepy and start yawning a lot. even after drinking coffee. Don't have this issue at the office.

My only issue with walking into my server room is that its hot as balls but management doesn't want to invest in actual air conditioning. My company does work world wide. We have offices world wide. Why the gently caress do they not care about things like "your servers might actually die because its so loving hot".

IT pro tip: Wear earpro in datacenters. It may not seem loud, but it will still give you tinnitus eventually.

I just interviewed a candidate who claimed to be a expert Windows architect but hasn't used anything newer than Server 2003 and thinks SMBv1 is totally fine and works great. I hate this industry.

Yep I've been there. When SBS died all those clients went to 0365, and the transitions were the most terrible, head-banging moments in my professional career. SBS allowed for some really lovely workflows that just couldn't be translated into anything else, and the small offices absolutely could not come to terms with changing the way things worked.

MSSQL is a loving catastrophe if you're trying to implement any sort of modern clustering. We had to call MS every single time it fucks up and now we're going back to MySQL 5.6

drat, just found the worst fiber conduit ever. We ran some SM fiber through some old fiber paths near the world trade center and attempted to bring up the ports using 10G LR's. The receive dBm at all 20 ends was around -25dBm I don't even think a ZX optic can save this one.

There is a reason the subtitle on the Windows mega thread is "gently caress Small Business Server Forever". It's not because it is a cool and good product to work with.

One of my desktop people , on his first week, decided to hook himself up during lunch. I came back into the office to discover that he is now rocking dual 30 inch monitors. "So.... whats up with these monitors? Where did you get them from?" "They were unused in the storage room." "So you took the initiative to give yourself the upgrade?" "Well they weren't being used." "Lets put them back and install your old ones." "Did you take anything else?" "Okay" "No, I didn't take anything else."I do a quick scan of his machine and what do you know, he is now rocking 32 gigs of ram and three ssd's. There is no going back right? I can't see how I can trust him with anything valuable anymore. Its the first time I have had anybody working for me that I couldn't give at least this much responsibility to. Now my desktop lead has to do an audit to see if anything is missing.

I can understand someone thinking 'Eh, it's not being used, I could use it.' but then he lied to you about taking other stuff. You should probably look into letting him go.

In my office it's acceptable to take monitors from termed people's desks. At least in IT. It weirded me the hell out when one of the desktop guys told me to just take one. I was expecting to get yelled at by the manager, but I didn't. Ask me about now having three monitors while some people in the building have a single 17" 4x3. It actually is useful, though. Email on one, spreadsheet on another, ERP system / another spreadsheet on the last one. Our lead admin has 3 24" monitors, including a portrait rotated one on his sit/stand desk. IT is actually probably the most consistently well equipped out of everyone in the office. What the hell are you going to do with 3 SSDs on a work machine?

I actually downgraded my monitors shortly after starting here. I had a 27" and a 24" and replaced the 27" so I could have matching monitors.

Agreed, only two people at my org had dual monitors and one was my boss. I purchased 20 new monitors for about 5k and upgraded everybody that asked for them. Extremely happy staff with results of my work in front of them every day, and it barely dented the budget.
