poo poo that pisses me off for some reason, people who never clean their poo poo. Every time a laptop gets passed to me after a staff member leaves, or someone needs me to fix something they're always smeared in dust, hair and hand grease.

Our old san is really pissing me off at the moment, a disk has failed in it which is causing everything on unrelated LUNs to slow to a crawl. as in unusable for a day I wish I could change the rebuild priority or something, I'm just glad we're in the process of migrating all the data off it.

sometimes I don't know whether I should drink or just laugh at work. One of the "senior" windows admins at work today was talking about privileges, in that Deny takes precedence over Allows which he classifies as a bug and hopes is fixed in windows soon... Pretty sure the reasoning behind this is even covered in one of the many certs he's done but whatever.

wolrah posted:Both ends are supposed to check, but neither is absolutely required to by the spec. Windows Server's default configuration is going against the recommended behavior but is technically still OK. Every other DHCP server I've used (various distributions or embedded vendors versions of ISC DHCPd and dnsmasq) defaults to checking on its end as well rather than relying on the client. Windows checks would be pointless, just about every server in a windows domain is going to block ICMP completely for "security" so it'd really only slow things down. Actually I'm retarded, even if they do block ICMP completely you'll still get an ARP reply right?

wolrah posted:Blocking ICMP on a domain network is not default behavior, so this would require that someone already went out of their way to be stupid. Not saying it doesn't happen, but the majority of the times I run in to "blocking ping makes it more secure ICMP Echo definitely is blocked by default on domain members, Domain Controllers do not block it by default though. A new install with a new domain:  quote:ARP actually doesn't work for a server-side check because a DHCP server may be serving (through relay agents) a number of networks that aren't local to it and thus an ARP would never reach. Hadn't even thought of that situation, very good point.

wolrah posted:I stand corrected, forgot my machine was not bound to the domain at the moment. Looks like Windows 8 differs from 7 on the defaults as well, my machine shows it as allowed on Private networks and I know I haven't manually modified that where yours has it denied across the board. Probably worried that they've got other bugs or security holes i guess? even if it wasn't blocked by default you'd find a lot of morons doing it themselves. Had a customer recently with a routing issue, needed a traceroute but they wouldn't allow traceroute through their firewall outbound because it'd be a "Security Risk"

CitizenKain posted:Alas, it doesn't work that way here. Our direct supervisor is not on our side, he is simply a mouthpiece for his managers now, and they simply repeat what is passed down from above. The only person who actually stood up for us left earlier this year since he was sick of that, so here we are. Going by what some coworkers have said, they are handing our a ton of "meets expectations" this year, while a year ago all of us were seeing higher scores. Maybe this is due to the new review program that was rolled out. If I were treated the same way I'd start merely "meeting expectations". No use putting in extra work just to help fill someone else's pockets.

dennyk posted:Honestly, I'll take the flexibility of a Nagios (or Nagios-like) back-end over an easier but more limited product, because you might be able to put together an off-the-shelf commercial monitoring setup in half the time, but then when you release it to the users and the flood of one-off custom check and configuration requests begins, you'll spend the next several months trying to force a less flexible product to meet all of your users' obscure demands. Hell, you can write a script to create a Nagios check for literally any quantifiable condition in like ten minutes, in whatever language you want. Precisely why we continue to use Centreon/Nagios. We have spent time looking for alternatives but nothing beats the amount of plugins, and we can just write our own if we want to. If there are better alternatives I'd love to hear them, because I'd like a product that people who aren't linux admins can manage but I'm not sure we're going to find anything with the kind of flexibility we need.

Inspector_666 posted:Yeah, if the DHCP server goes down and you somehow can't spin up a temporary replacement within 8 hours or whatever your lease time is, DHCP isn't the problem. When has anyone ever had an issue with a DHCP server long enough for it to be a problem though? in 10 years I've seen one client have an issue with it and it was because they decommissioned their DHCP server by mistake.

Venusy posted:Found out why my supervisor wants to remove DHCP from our branches: the branches are not trusted to power in their own workstations. So each morning, a huge script - a mess of PowerShell, netsh, and regexes - runs to grab workstation names, IPs, and MACs from DHCP, output to CSV, then uses that to send the Wake-on-LAN magic packet. Same CSV is then used to turn them off at night. Eject!
