It takes hours for the "Checking for the latest updates for your computer..." to finish and the downloads are taking even longer. Setup up a WSUS server so these are cached locally. Also use templates so you don't have a poo poo load of updates.

Grrr. Setting up a new server that will handle backups of our Juniper switches whenever a commit is made. The "network" guy is demanding that we use SCP instead of FTP. I personally don't care as I am not thinking of our configs as top secret (and no one here would ever know how to sniff that traffic). Does anyone know if a good SCP server that can run on Windows Server 2012 (datacenter licensing and idiot co-workers makes me not want to use a linux box)? I tried one free one from SolarWinds, but it crashes any time I try to create a user.

^ Yup. Ended up saying gently caress it and using FTP. Every time a commit is done, it will dump the config to a directory for that specific device/stack.

Holy poo poo I hate humans. Working on clearing out an old 4 post rack. The entire back of it (1 foot of room) is a loving lattice of cables. I am yanking out unused cables and power cords. All the sudden helpdesk guy comes in and tells me the Intranet is down. I start staring at things and notice one of the XenServer hosts is powered off, WFT. Go begin the rack and start tracing the power cords for it. It is running to a 1u PDU that was laying on the ground below the lattice of cables. The power plugs and power switch are on opposite sides of the unit, so this thing has been laying on its power switch for god knows how long. So about 10 different production VMs got powered off and didn't restart on a different host because the people before me never setup HA (and our whole XenServer environment is massively misconfigured). Must move faster on these V2V migrations into the new vSphere cluster I have built in a new proper rack with some OCD cable management and all servers running to alternate vertical mount PDUs. I hate humans.

In the process of putting a new naming scheme here. Nothing has ever been standardized before. I think everyone hates me. Dept-Service-Site (Replace dept with company if services everyone) Rant edit: I got a request from some moron to push out a registry change to "fix" Office 2007 for macros. After reading over why, I see the "resolution" is to apply Office 2007 SP2. Person claims it is install. I check the workstations, sure as hell running Office 2007 RTM. Look at Windows updates, disabled. I am going to strangle someone. I rolled a WSUS server a while back to address this but everyone keeps saying no when I say I am going to actually start using it. They have faith in an ungodly expensive systems management solution purchased two years ago that was never implemented. They say it will be soon. I have been here for a year, no progress has been made and no one even knows how to deploy it, let alone use it properly. Do I really care at this point, or just deploy it and launch thousands of patches over the weekend? Moey fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Pissing me off. The more workstations I touch, the more I realize my asshat coworker has not only told Windows to not update, but disabled the service as well. Oh yea, and nothing was sysprepped, so each department's workstations are all registering within WSUS with the same ID so I cannot get reports. When brought up in our meeting today (after I was snapped on for saying I kept hitting "roadblocks" in automating patching), you didn't seem to know what sysprep was. I hate you coworker.

Caged posted:http://blogs.technet.com/b/sus/arch...us-console.aspx I have a similar script that is working. I believe that one is for WSUS 2.x not 3.2 or whatever is current (came across a few yesterday when troubleshooting). It is just a royal pain in the dick that nothing here has ever been straight forward. Nothing is consistent. Nothing is setup properly. I am forced to fight with idiots to fix their screw ups. At this point it has been faster to trash and rebuild than to even look at the existing mess for a lot of my projects.

FISHMANPET posted:I currently have... 42.75 sick days. They never expire and I don't get sick much so they just sit there accumulating. I should really be sick more, because if I get a promotion they all just vanish. I am part of the "never sick club" as well. My old place would lump in sick days and vacation in one pool, so it worked well. My new place gives me 1 free "wellness" day for every 6 months I don't use more than 10 hours of sick time. This isn't terrible either.

I finished a migration at a site from an ASA to an SRX cluster. I have never been a network guy, but working with the SRX, doing policies between zones and NATs were dead simple. Only changes I had ever made to our ASA were all from ASDM.

Sickening posted:ASDM is pretty much the way to go. Its the only cisco device I don't use the CLI for 100%. I mean if you are doing constant deployments I would see how copying configs into the cli would save a ton of time, but you simply don't do it enough in most environments. Yea, I never had any problems with it really. Not hard to poke around and see what is all setup. Speaking of that, I have one last ASA here that is undocumented, so I get to dig through and see what rules are actually still use. Then pump all that poo poo through some Juniper goodness.

So what is the go-to for PC inventory scanning? I have used Spiceworks in the past and am not too fond. I also have scraped together a powershell script that spit out a CSV file. Anything new/better out there? I got dumped with doing an physical inventory. I could probably use NMAP and get it done as well.

But for what you can put in PDQ Inventory, it does a pretty great job. They don't seem to want any details, so I can scrounge up the rest with nmap. I guess this is a good time to get a little VM running all the PDQ stuff!
