I got a job offer yesterday doing exactly what I do now for a competitor but with more pay, certifications paid for, and a clear promotion path. I called my boss this morning because I quite frankly have no idea if I signed a non-compete when I started here two years ago, and when he asked why I'd need that information I told him honestly. 30 seconds later the senior vice president of the Midwest called me, offered to match the other company, plus cert reimbursement and a clear plan to move into an analyst role. I told him I'd stay if he could make that happen. He has 48 hours before I accept the other job. Hoping that was the right call. Funnily enough no one directly answered if I signed a non-compete, but given the quick turnaround and counteroffer I'm going to guess the answer is "no".

Jaded Burnout posted:Very possible, but also possible that they were so wrapped up in their own lives and objectives that they needed a little jolt to remind them that their well-performing employee existed and shouldn't be taken for granted. We don't know they were "unwilling to budge" before because we don't know if Oyster ever asked for these things. During my last reviews I specifically stated that what I make is not sustainable, especially on 3% raises that were handed out. My boss responded that he had no control over it and in fact didn't even know how much I make, which I was a bit dumbfounded by. When the SVP called he quoted exactly what I make and asked specifically if matching the other company would be enough. Seems like I just needed to get to the correct people.

He came back with $2k higher than what the other company was offering (and what he offered this morning) and specific instructions on how to get certs counted as tuition reimbursement. You raise a valid point about future raises and that crossed my mind as well, along with the fact that the other company has set advancements that my current one does not. I have 24 hours yet, and it may come down to if I can get milestones for advancement with my current company that ends with me in an analyst position.

Hospital printer tech checking in now that I've caught up with the thread. I've been pretty well taken care of as I work, I have N95's and the masking policies are pretty good. Here's a practice that is bad. I was on one of the covid floors in an office at the end of a hall replacing a blown psu on a printer when respiratory went into a room two doors down from where I was, full gowns, masks, face shields equipped. They started aerosolizing the patient. They left the door open. I immediately contacted a higher up in the department that I'm on good terms with and they were pretty horrified. She told me the following week that the patient being aerosolized had died that night. At this point I'm thinking I wasn't actually exposed, but drat I'm thankful for the N95s. Edit: A positive - my girlfriend has been complaining about shopping, how people aren't following the one way aisles, aren't using masks or using them improperly, etc. I did some shopping yesterday and wore an N95 and my hospital badge. People gave me a *wide* berth. One guy without a mask was standing and looking at stuff I needed, saw me coming, and literally ran to the next aisle. I'm doing the shopping from now on.

Hospital printer tech checking in. Ticket came in for a machine not booting up. Yup, hangs on the boot screen. Status LED's indicate it's either hard drive or motherboard. Swapped the drive, no go. Swapped the board, still nothing. Noticed that the new board doesn't even have the status LED's. Escalated twice and just found out that a vendor can't produce a certain chip anymore, the firmware is different, and on this particular model it can't be loaded. Nice of my company to provide any documentation at all about this issue that literally bricks $800 printers of which this hospital has literally 1,023 of. I have an interview in 20 minutes that a goon helped me procure, here's hoping it goes well.

Printer tech contracted to giant hospital system checking in: Got an offer from a local MSP as a level 2 tech. After 6 years roaming the hospitals fixing the big printer issues, I now get to touch servers and networks of small to mid sized businesses.

One last check in from hospital printer support: Back at the end of February, everyone on my team's accesses to the hospital intranet were expired because the hospital system transitioned to WorkDay at about the same time our contract manager retired and we were never put in the WorkDay system. A month later, all our provisional accounts were expired, it was a big hullabaloo to get them back. We were given a month extension with the idea that our new manager would get us accounts in WorkDay set up. She never did, and all our accounts expired again about a week ago. It took me 4 tickets to get all my accesses back, but once I had done it the rest of the team was just templated off me. Just got word that I've finally been added to WorkDay and my account won't be expiring at the end of the month! The day after I handed in my 2 weeks notice.

Started a job at an MSP last week. It's going okay, recently found out why the CEO said "welcome to the blender" on my first day so that's nice. Learning a ton about AD! I had touched it for the Google IT Support Professional cert but hadn't had any real hands on experience. Just found out that, if you search for someone in AD, you can't edit the attributes. They have to be navigated to, then the attributes can be edited, like hiding them from Exchange. Something tells me learning Powershell would be a good move.

Okay goon hivemind. I've been at an MSP for ~4 months now, finally out of healthcare printer support. I've done my share of fuckups; took down a phone system by following a client request to remove the Teams license on an o365 account called "Test Main", the client then cancelled the contract, etc. Now I've probably broken something and no one seems able to fix it, so I figure I'd throw it here. A client couldn't open any reports in Crystal Reports. Application opens fine, just any time a document is loaded it crashes with a memory error. No one else has this problem and it follows her from PC to PC.The computers all have local profiles, but they use RemoteApps, and it seemed to be tied to her profile. Having just done a profile refresh in the previous ticket that went swimmingly, I went ahead and did it. Logged her off the remote session, went on to the RDS server, .old'ed her profile, deleted the registry keys in ProfileList and ProfileGuid, and probably broke something here. They use profile disks. I had never heard of profile disks before, but soon became very familiar with Sidder. That said, nothing I did worked; deleting the disk and logging her back in gave her the same ID, same crashes. I ended up nuking her entire profile in AD and o365 and recreating it. Now the RemoteApp connection has been spinning for ~20 minutes. I'm not necessarily looking for an answer (unless the answer is "RemoteApp usually takes 30 minutes to build a new profile on the server") because there's a lot of moving parts and probably some client specific stuff I'm missing that's getting in the way, but I am curious if I was on the right track to begin with. None of my coworkers or supervisors seem to quite know what's going on with this and I'm feeling a bit left out to dry.

Thanks Ants posted:I can't help you with the issue you're having but if you're an MSP and working with Microsoft then you have access to a certain number of engineering hours to get support on stuff like this, and if you've used them up then just buy per-incident support. Didn't think of that since I typically don't think of Windows as Microsoft, but they use Azure AD and such. I've def escalated to Microsoft before and they've tended to be hit and miss; I've had one really, really good interaction and two where they left it worse than it started, though both of those were about calendars. gently caress Outlook calendars and gently caress their changing permissions structure. Will give that a try in the morning, thanks! Internet Explorer posted:Nothing profile related should be taking 30 minutes on first login. I can't speak to your specific issue, as I haven't used UPDs, only similar solutions, but reading up on User Profile Disks might be helpful. This seems like a good start - https://bobcares.com/blog/rds-user-profile-disks-on-windows/ Yes and yes. After the reg shenanigans I noticed that every time she logged in it was with a new temporary profile. I did end up managing to unmount and delete the disk itself. Then when she logged in the recreated disk had the same ID slapped on it and the issue wasn't fixed, so I unmounted it, deleted it, and nuked her profile in AD (with my supervisor's blessing).

Internet Explorer posted:When she logs in with a black screen, does the disk in the UPD storage location get recreated? Is there anything in the Event Log on that RDS server when she logs in? Do you see any odd processes running as that user that aren't running under any other users? Have you found where UPD stores logs and checked there? Previously, when I had deleted the disk, yes, it gets recreated when she logs in. Since recreating the AD profile I have not deleted the disk. Even as RDS isn't "working" now (it's hanging on configuring session) there is an active session for her on the server. No odd processes that I'm seeing, will have to check where logs are stored.

Thanks Ants posted:If you make an entirely new AD account unrelated to this person, does it work? It's possibly that this RDS environment has been hosed for a while but it's just not become apparent. Hadn't thought to try a completely new account. Group memberships were def preserved. She wasn't even in the "Remoteappusers" group when it did work, and I did compare group memberships to a known working person, nothing changed when I added those. Tried both permutations (the original and the person's whose works) on the new profile. Edit: I'm off the clock now, will be picking this up first thing in the AM, but now I am excited instead of anxious. Thank you. Edit Edit: New user works just fine. Now to find out what's different about her new account and why that isn't working when a new user is. Triple Edit: Just went into ProfileList and it's not building her a profile at all. Gonna start over again. Quadruple Edit: Solved. I created another account for her and the same thing happened, hung on starting windows in the remoteapp session. I deleted that account, created *another* account with a different login name, mapped the proxy address as SMTP:<original address>, and everything fired right up. RemoteApps works, she's got her original email, all good. I don't know why she can't have her original login, neither does anyone else, but the ticket is closed.

Hello everyone, I have what I think is a remnant of Print Nightmare giving my entire company a nightmare, and I've come for help. First, grats Larches, get it! Now, we have a client that does a lot of sharing of USB label printers. These are very specific label printers that interface with very specific medical software, of course. Since Print Nightmare, my company has adopted a standard process ripped wholesale off r/sysadmin that entails disallowing the spooler to accept client connections and only allowing Point and Print to the server. Not the ultimate fix, but keeps people printing for now. Unfortunately, this locks computers out of sharing over network via USB. My technical escalation created another OU for 'printer hosts' under Desktops and broke inheritance. This allowed for an HP printer to be shared over USB, but not the label printers. He was unable to add security permissions to share the label printers. I added the computers hosting the label printers to the 'allowed connections' list and it took right off, they can now print. It's after hours and no one knows that it's fixed - would that create a security concern for the computers hosting the printers? I'm a bit out of my depth and wondering if I need to break it before they notice it's working.

The boneyards can be fun places. Serious answer: I don't know what the security ramifications of this are - I do know it is not a replacement for v4 drivers, but everyone is just shrugging until v4 drivers are widely available I guess. If anyone has a better fix or a reason why this should be broken, please let me know. Create a group policy object linked to the PCs OU. The server cannot be in this OU or it won't work. Change: Computer Config/Administrative Templates/Printing/Allow Print Spooler to accept client connections -Set to disabled Computer Config/Administrative Templates/Printing/Point and Print Restrictions -check Users Can Only print to These Servers -Enter the FQDN of the print server -when installing for a new connection, don't elevate -when installing for an existing connection, don't elevate Computer Config/Preferences/Registry -Add new registry item -Hive HKLM -Key Path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint -Value Name: RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators -Value Type: REG_DWORD -Value Data: 0 Run gpupdate. Add Driver. Done. If a PC is sharing a USB connected printer, create a sub OU, break inheritance, and add the FQDN to the PaP Restrictions list. vvv well played Oyster fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Oct 7, 2021 |

Tomorrow I have to go to a client site, change the password on their "streaming" SSID, and connect all their chromecasts and apple tv to the network. They don't know how they are managed, they are a new client, and there is no documentation.

Reading those responses it is clear that context is required. Everyone got moved to the streaming SSID because the main SSID authenticated with a Radius server whose SSL cert expired which took the better part of a day to remedy thanks to aforementioned lack of documentation. Everyone moved to the streaming SSID to continue to work, but now that the main SSID is fixed they'd like the password for streaming changed so no one can access it again. Looks like I'll just be running around with my phone and getting them back on!

I'm full remote due to a TBI sustained back in early December; management still wants everyone, including service desk, in the office. Got a job offer from the job fair thread, had to put it on hold during my treatments. They said they'd hold it for me, I hope that holds true as recovery is taking longer than anticipated. My job counts the minutes I put in tickets. I've had appointments every day this week; Monday was occupational therapy, Tuesday was acupuncture, Wednesday was speech therapy, today is optometry, tomorrow is med management, Saturday is an MRI. I get to make up the minutes those appointments cut out of the workday until I hit 40 hours. I am very very jealous of those 9-5 "just get your work done" jobs; my last position as a printer tech was like that. I put in 11.5 billable hours yesterday around speech therapy just to make up for what I couldn't finish after occupational therapy. If short term disability were an option I'd be on it.

Mercurius posted:It’s related to the PrintNightmare stuff and there’s a few other settings needed to get point and print installations working again on regular accounts. Just gonna throw what my org is doing on here to get printers installed: • Temporary GPO Bypass – Use for when there is a larger number of users to keep from going to every machine to update every print driver o Create a new Group Policy Object o Link it to an Organizational Unit that contains the client’s Workstation The print server cannot be in this OU and the GPOs settings will prevent the Print server from working o Change the following settings Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Printing/Allow Print Spooler to accept client connections • Set to Disabled Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Printing/ Point and Print Restrictions • Check, Users can only point and print to these servers • Enter the fully qualified domain name of the printer server in the text box • When installing driver for a new connection, set to Do not show warning or elevation prompt • When updating driver for an existing connection, set to Do not show warning or elevation prompt Computer Configuration/Preferences/Registry • Add a new Registry item • Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE • Key path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Printers\PointAndPrint • Value name: RestrictDriverInstallationToAdministrators • Value Type: REG_DWORD • Value Data: 0 o Save the run gpupdate on machine that should be affected o Try to update print driver, check registry for changes • Permanent Fixes o Find a way to easily push out drivers to all end user’s workstations. I don’t have a solution at this point but will be researching over the next week or so o Update Printer driver to use V4 printer drivers I have heard/read very mixed reviews when this is tried. V4 drivers, if the printer manufacturers made them, often do not have the same feature as the V3 printer drivers. Any change to V4 would have to test with client to verify printer driver(s) would still work for them Keep in mind that this is not a perfect fix and does still allow for "rogue" print servers; you can add this if you want to restrict installation to specific servers: • Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Printing/Package Point and print - Approved servers o Select Enable o Enter the fully qualified domain name of the printer server in the text box Eventually Type 4 drivers will be usable and all this will be moot. Hopefully. Someday.

The deployment starts, but the progress bar never moves past 10%. 1) is the print server affected by this GPO in any way? 2) gpupdate (or log off/log on) does not seem to be enough, it requires a full reboot (maybe because it's computer configuration? I'm still pretty new at this). Also, if the error when manually adding from the server is 0x000011b there is a different fix regarding a registry entry.

Yes, I absolutely should have thought of that. We didn't restrict "Packaged Point and Print approved servers" until several months after we instituted the original, so that went way past my head. I want to say keeping that setting as "not configured" still leaves a vulnerability but that's over my pay grade at the moment. If it works, use it.

A recruitment came in: The president of an MSP in my area messaged me on LinkedIn. I interviewed with this place a few years ago when I freshly had my CCNA but was still a printer tech and didn't get a call back. He wrote: quote:I am the President of $MSP and wanted to introduce myself. We have been around for 16 years and are growing like crazy. I thought it made sense to connect and see if you are interested in learning how we could help you develop your skills and grow your career. Thank you! And so I responded: quote:Hi! I interviewed with $MSP a few years ago hoping to get into the MSP realm. I didn't get a return call, but am now in a much better position having been with $Current MSP. And he responded quickly: quote:Thank you for the reply and the history! I am sorry we didn't reach out and update you last time you interviewed with us. We have better processes in place to make sure that doesn't happen. I'd love to have you talk with $OfficeAdmin, and start the process over again. We have a pretty quick interview process now. If it fits well for everyone, we'd love to get you on the team and help you gain those experiences. So I thought sure, what the hell. Wouldn't hurt to practice interviewing after the concussion and all that. I set up an interview and they want me to take an aptitude test. That's fine, gotta know what things your prospective employees know. But there are a few restrictions: no calculators, only pen and paper, and a personality test is included. I stopped, and wrote back directly to him: quote:Hey $president, I don't think I would've done that if I didn't have the standing offer from the company from the Job Fair thread, and I certainly wouldn'tve done it if I were still a printer tech, but goddamn did that feel good.

The president of the local MSP isn't letting it drop. He sent me a novelette asking me to sleep on it. I did (albeit poorly) and I stand by my decision. I will not participate in a personality test during the hiring process. Afterwards, maybe, if it helps you know how to approach me. Also came in to work this morning to find my title changed from L2 support center to Net Admin. Okay. I guess that tracks with our head network engineer quitting last week and many of his responsibilities shifting to me. I am anxiously awaiting the all clear from my speech therapist so I can jump ship. Oyster fucked around with this message at 12:06 on Mar 24, 2022 |

guppy posted:Did this come with a pay raise commensurate with your new title and responsibilities? lol, my raise got cut because of the aforementioned concussion. I was scheduled to take a Watchguard cert the week after I was concussed and I still don't have it. Again, I'm on my way out. I responded to his novella with a wall of text of my own. For context I'll put both here: quote:Hey Oyster, And my response: quote:Hey $President, He responded with a "thank you for the thoughtful response, enjoy your day!" so basically tl;dr, but I thought with the consideration he had shown with the first response I might actually get somewhere. Regardless, I'm in total agreement that a bullet was dodged there. I probably shouldn'tve outed myself as neuroatypical, but at that point I wasn't taking it anyway so figured whats the harm.

This is basically where I was with it. I've also not disclosed before, so there was a certain anxiety around typing those words at all. Bob Morales posted:They sound desperate see if they will offer you like 2x what you make now. The offer from the Job Fair thread (that is unbelievably patiently waiting for my full recovery from the concussion) is an 80% raise. I'll be okay. I told a coworker about the whole ordeal. He had also interviewed with them about a year ago and has a friend there now. He validated that I dodged a bullet, and that's coming from someone working at the dumpster fire I'm at now.

I have been given the all clear from my speech therapist. I do still have one followup with my concussion specialist this coming Friday, but with my occupational, vision, and speech therapists all signing off on my recovery I am confident there will not be any concerns. Signed the offer that's been waiting and putting in my notice tomorrow.
