The guys you get to look at your building are going to deflect to the power company.

Find the demarc point, hire a 3rd party electrician to check the power company size supply voltages, phase imbalance, and ground impedance. Now it's ABC Electric and your building tech both saying it's the power company, and you can more likely get them to come out and fix it.

Collateral Damage posted:ServiceNow suffers from the same problem so many other highly customizable software suites do: It absolutely needs to be set up by someone who knows what they're doing, and in a larger organization you probably want someone managing it full time. More or less exactly this, if you have the ability to hire a good service now dev/admin, it can be a wonderful way to automate and handle tons of stuff, and interface with HR and service desk, and get an ITIL framework set up to do things better. Out of the box it's a horrible kludge of every single cool thing they could think of, set up by a retard.

Avenging_Mikon posted:gently caress, fine, here’s the details: The correct answer here is to heavily pad your time estimate to code, debug and test the script, then present it to them as a "You wanna spend the 20 hours of billable time on this, get your boss and my boss to OK it and I'll get started. Earliest I can have this done with my current responsibilities would be February 3rd." You get a cool powershell script to play with, they get a solution that spits out a big csv of stuff to look into, and hopefully your department has a method to bill back the time worked on it.

Avenging_Mikon posted:I’m help desk, and the only one of the three of us that knows more than "powershell exists." A couple of our infrastructure guys are powershell wizards, but they also have better poo poo to do, like keep the servers running and upgrading us to Umbrella so we can ditch McAffe and consolidating our 3 domains to 1. If you're Helldesk, and the other two shlubs are able to take up the slack, I'd absolutely do this. A nice mini-vacation from the usual break/fix/swear ticket grind, a cool thing to talk about on your eventual YOTJ interview, and experience in a scripting language a lot of people are still kinda iffy on. If your boss okays it, go for it. Some of the coolest stuff I've done is because 'here is a problem, here is a hammer, fabricate us a pile of nails to use it on' and I managed to come up with a solution. Like my horrible abortion of an excel spreadsheet that interfaced with google maps via visual basic to find the average driving time between a set starting point and a variety of potential client sites in order to find the best city to set up a satellite office in.

Judge Schnoopy posted:It would seem one of two situations: school is losing massive amounts of money and is circling the drain, OR the director is pocketing so much cash in the belief that he'll never have enough to live 'comfortably' and is now so deep in his illusion he can't see himself for a crook. Or the director managed to politics his way into a position he has no earthly loving clue how to do, and is doing his level best to blame it on everyone not him, while making as many decisions as possible while huffing Dunning-Kreuger brand paint stripper. Honestly, without knowing what the specifics are accounting-wise, an anonymous report to the state educational comptroller alleging gross budget mismanagement and embezzlement might be the only way to get a spotlight shown on this dude from on high. Reducing headcount, consolidating positions, and taking lavish trips to 'leadership conferences' on the school's budget sounds like fraud to me.

Case in point, Chris Hemsworth in "Cabin in the Woods" (watch that) Yeah, but Chris Hemsworth is in other movies and plays other roles. It's also obviously not real, the disconnect is harder to manage when it's reality TV type stuff that Twitch seems to encourage, where being a racist shithead on camera is probably more true to life than 'oh no a crazed killer is on the loose, better split up gang!'.

notwithoutmyanus posted:In trying to identify the cause of the poo poo experience, am I missing something between a: outlook not supporting opening an archived PST in a network share and b: the exact same share being used for the pst's also being used for the giant excel files ? Storage/network share folks just sitting saying their poo poo is fine. I'm still wondering why it's identifying it as both CIFS and SMB, if that means something is hosed up in how it's transferring data? Anything SMB is dogshit once your latency goes above about <1 ms. Once you're outside the local network, SMB goes from kinda ok, to dumpster fire tier in a hurry. Office products are especially bad at it because of how the user experience works, especially with complex cross-linked excel files. Excel will hang outright and just sorta sit there until the file downloads, then it'll open, then lock up resolving every single linked entry to another excel file or external data source. THEN once it's all done, will it load. On a 15MB Xlsx file, that can be upwards of 4 minutes over a 20 mbit VPN link. If the user clicks it a bunch, tries to open it a half dozen times, or force kills it and reopen it, it can corrupt the file hard. Best solution I've found is DFS shares and a local copy of all files, with a decent replication policy in place. Outlook and large PSTS over the network is a great way to spend a billion dollars trying to resolve an issue that's best fixed with a good backup policy, local PSTs files, and a ssd for the special snowflakes you just absolutely need 50 years of emails going back to the days of the SPARC mainframe they first sent ASCII nudes to eachother on.

Pretty much this, if the user provides the password in plaintext in the PW change form, you can trivially validate it against the salted hashed stored password, then do all your rule checking using the plaintext copy of new and old password. If it doesn't ask for old password, then yeah password is probably plaintext somewhere.
