I'd rather take the poo poo and get the org on a DFS share with a move to 2012 than continue the same infrastructure. Theoretically, you should be ok. Here is to hoping nothing is calling on the specific SID of that server!

The device is a laptop, so there isn't anything they can get at...I just setup exchange 2010 for the org so they can use apple mail app. However, after I sent over the TCO of this rogue purchase vs buying it through our channels management will know there were very noticeable savings to be had (and every penny counts in our death march to insolvency). Also, they did not buy apple care. And i'll be keeping that omittance under my hat. incoherent fucked around with this message at 01:16 on Jan 19, 2014 |

Dear bitcoin barron at the 24/7 accessible colo, I understand you’ve taken up an entire row of racks to run your farm on exposed motherboards and video cards, keeping every single rack door open to avoid proper heat dissipation. This does not concern me. However, the colo provided crash carts* are not your personal possessions and you cannot hoard it at your convenience. I know you’re hording it as I showed up in the evening to rack my hardware, left to sleep, woke up, gambled a bit, and came back the next morning, and the cart was still there connected to your hardware (as was you). Thankfully the admin in the faraday cage next to me saw me racking up and offered the crash cart he himself dragged across the colo because you are a loving. goddamn. rear end in a top hat. I hope someone hacks your wallet, incoherent. *= crash carts are keyboards, video, and mouse for common use

Dude was running ATI video cards but I didn't see what they were specifically. I was more worried about the exposed motherboard/videocard/PSU on shelfs. Also, he looked like the kind of guy who would mine a cryptocurrency and hang out at a colo all day long.

Oh man, this is where someone who likes to interject with "good advice" like 1. grab all the printer tickets 2. Identify the specific ones that are "printer driver" or the time it took to install a new printer on everyone computer 3. Compile a document outlining the business case to setup a windows server print server and leveraging group policies 4. Send it to your manager* But if you have a lazy admin that can't even deploy a print server (if only for the print driver deployment benefits: make the end users render the print job on their computer) the only thing you can do is get some tech knowledge under your belt, put an arbitrary amount of time in, and jump ship. If I was looking to hire a jr admin, asking for a high level overview of a print server would be one of them. *If your lazy admin is your manager...whelp.

ConfusedUs posted:Not in my experience. I did some reports once and (2 years ago) 2k3 machines represented ~40% of our user base and ~85% of our support cases. Granted, I'm looking at this from a backup perspective, but man, every time I see a 2k3 machine in a ticket I kinda cringe a little. My phone server is a unholy hellplane of windows server 2003, SQL express, and java 6. Just got an email last week they're upgrading the os with the latest version of the phone software.... ...to 2008.

To be fair ADFS was the only legitimate way to deploy o365 when it first launched. The original dirsync had a bizarre limitation that prevented it from running on x64 machines (post 2008 R2 SP1). They've come a long way but they totally soured those who had to initially configure their infrastructure for o365. This is why you see terrible ADFS deployments everywhere: the admins were too battlescarred to go back and spin up dirsync and they now have a convenient scapegoat why "cloud" doesn't work in all situations, when it totally does for email.

I guess that storm is pretty bad: Louis CK canceled his MSG show. It's unrelated, but goes to show you how big that storm will be. Waiting for the articles about datacenter in the middle of NYC are dead in the water and the tech that bring buckets of diesel fuel up to power generators.

I hated the ideal when they suggested that we do that for our modern, clustered virtualized infrastructure. Sure it was fine when it was 2004 and this company had 4 servers. But in 2015 I'm documenting scope and functionality. That's it. Oh and steps to troubleshoot the internet, but really that's it.

Dick Trauma posted:This morning I had a Skype call with the I.T. consultant for that company I'm interviewing with. Turns out he first worked for them about ten years ago and they brought him back in recently to help them understand just how bad a place they're in from a process and systems standpoint. The call went really well and he explained that the founder of the company now recognizes that they need sweeping changes before they can go through their next growth phase. They're at the point where they will choke on any further growth. Are you sure you're not just copying/pasting the phoenix project and hopes no one notices? Either way you have quite the cerberus ahead of you. I worry though if none of the C-levels are on board we'll just all be back here in 2017  .E: poo poo pissing me off though: gently caress vertical wave and this stupid rear end phone server. Its great if you don't touch it but gently caress trying to upgrade to the latest point release.
