Internet Explorer posted:lol, I knew that was going to come up and I don't blame you. I couldn't remember who it was. Yeah I think it was Bob "COVID isn't that serious" Morales who posted something like "I just bought a Brother for $59" and I said something like "jesus dude that's been illegal for 150 years what the gently caress is wrong with you". I was fine with the probe and: RFC2324 posted:Its the kind of joke thats risky because it has to make every button haver who sees it laugh or you eat a probe this, basically. Anyway the real joke is Internet Explorer.

I'm trying to tell myself this as well, but your job right now is finding a new job. NOT doing any more than the bare loving minimum for the company that technically employs you right now. You just have to work on not caring about being perceived as doing a bad job by the clients for your current company, because unless they would be people you're working with at the next company, it doesn't matter. I'm finding that mentally accepting being perceived as doing a bad job (which as we're in a service industry, all of us are theoretically doing our best to get the exact opposite reaction), is REALLY difficult, but at some point it is better for you and your mental health to be OK with that for the time being if it gets you to a new place. You got this, you will find a new place, and it will be better.

i am a moron posted:You don’t refer to that as ‘buying’ someone it’s usually just ‘my company is doing a merger’ Yeah but the difference here is that the selling company essentially sold RFC as part of the merger, i.e. promised she and her knowledge would be part of the sale. I'd call that more selling someone than a merger, because they appear to have straight up said "yeah we're selling you this product and also the expertise of the employee who knows it best", without actually, y'know, consulting her upfront about it. Which absolutely puts her in the position to say "yeah the 10 of your $110k offer is fine but you're gonna need to increase the first digit thanks".

An insanity came in. Backstory, client we took on last year that is an absolute clusterfuck (a few small companies slammed into one slightly larger small company). One of these now business units runs an ancient AD infrastructure managed by a real dinguswaffle of an MSP - we took one look and said get rid of all this immediately and shift to Azure, it doesn't even reach the status of security "hole" because there is effectively no security whatsoever due to insane boneheaded AD configurations. They said "uh huh uh huh sure, right, but what if we followed none of your recommendations and made no changes whatsoever? OK great!" So at this point we're kind of just going along for the ride and collecting the checks until they fire us - everything is terrible and broken but they don't want to change any of it so .....not much we can do. Anyway, a ticket about not finding Quickbooks on the remote desktop server came in:  Yep, that sure is a DC you've logged into there my friend. Turns out when some MSP moron adds "Domain Users" to "Domain Admins", and then you, idiot user, put "DOMAIN\username" as the server address for your RDP connection, that resolves as expected to a DC which says you want to RDP in? Let's see - oh, yep, you're a domain admin so no problem, here you go!  (also "top" marks for eyesearing BGinfo design, I mean what the gently caress)

Arquinsiel posted:Sorry, DC, Backup AND, Terminal Server? Is this their only server? Nope! These are all VMs on one or two physical hosts. Basically there's always more and it's always worse, which is why after 15 minutes of looking at this domain setup we said "no. just no. There is no point fixing any of this, it's so hosed up we will never be confident we undid all the bad stuff and in 2023 you should be moving to Azure/Intune anyway". Lemme just say it again, Domain Users is added to Domain Admins.

The Fool posted:if you enter domain\user in the hostname field it will interpret domain as a netbios host name which I think will be whatever DC is serving your dns Yeah, pinging the domain name will generally get you a return ping from the domain controller (assuming ping is open). So much of this setup reminds me of why I was more than happy to leave complex AD configurating in the past where it belongs. Like, I could try and unfuck it, but why bother when a solution exists that doesn't rely on Sonicwall VPN for remote users to access infrastructure, or external systems to tie into identity? (and that they're half paying for anyway because they have Office 365 app licenses?)

Thanks Ants posted:It will be one piece of software didn't work as a standard user 15 years ago so everybody is an admin now  Yeah I mean I have not delved farther into it because it is quite literally not worth my time to troubleshoot any of this horror, but while I don't have any actual evidence, given the interactions we've had with this MSP so far, it's absolutely because "fuckshit, gently caress, this doesn't work, uhhhhhhhhh.....gently caress....uhhhhhh..........hey what if I make them all domain admins OK phew it works problem solved hey everyone I fixed it!" As far as worst AD setups I've seen in my career it's pretty close between this one and the one at a tool manufacturer that you've all heard of (sells at Home Depot/Lowes) where there were five domain controllers and three of them were simply missing (were no longer physically in existence), and of these three non-existent DCs two held all the FSMO roles, and the remaining active domain controllers were Windows Server 2000. (This was in 2018. They were also both physical boxes and I'm pretty sure one of them was a Compaq). edit to add:  , thinking back on that (also my reaction at the time)

I like the metaness of the thread title in that as with all ticket subjects, it's incorrect since the keyboard was found ON the urinal. To be clear, I'm saying leave it as is, it's far better this way.

Multiple things can be true. Internet Explorer posted:Absolutely not. I have not ever and will not ever delete emails. I have more important things to do than janitor my inbox. GreenNight posted:Email is not file storage. GreenNight posted:Although with O365 who gives a poo poo now. To be clear, I mean email still shouldn't be used as file storage, but I also don't give half the poo poo I used to when I was running Exchange.
