Spoke too soon. Seems to be an issue with WinMTR. Running it from CLI on a CentOS box, works like a charm. Go figure.

@dashrender So what task management software has she used? Evernote and Todoist are pretty darn good and have different styles.

(Get-WmiObject -class "Win32_TSGeneralSetting" -Namespace root\cimv2\terminalservices -ComputerName "remoteServer" -Filter "TerminalName='RDP-tcp'").SetUserAuthenticationRequired(0)

This worked, but also as soon as the server is updated to the latest then the issue goes away.

Yes, if you have that option.

That is why I tell people the policy is to reboot every night before you leave for the day. Most people do... some don't. This is the exact reason why this is the policy.

Yup, I agree, end of day reboots are the smartest if you can get people to do it.

Most of our people do - the few (really the one) who doesn't is also the one in charge. I can't make them.

Sure you can. If it is company policy, you simply create a schedule task to reboot machines.

LOL - You're on a roll today!

Just stop covering up bad behavior.

You, and others make it sound like I have a choice here - I only have two choices, perhaps three - 1) quit
2) according to you all ignore her
3) just stop talking to you all about trying to find solutions to provide to attempt to fix things.

No, you are missing the one thing we all recommend...

The CTJ talk. The talk where you give her the options and make her choose. You don't make up the options, you just enumerate the ones that exist.

No one has suggested any of the things you think we are recommending and missing the one choice we almost all agree on.

Can you spell out those options, apparently I've missed them.. .I feel like I've already gave her said options.. and she chose the one not on the table - to do nothing and still complain about it.

At which point, my option option is to basically ignore her - stop caring, whatever you want to call it, it's basically the same thing.

You can come up with the range of known options. Examples:

Use Google Apps and live with their save mechanism. Use local Excel and live with it's save options, either auto or off. Use Excel online and live with its save options. Use a different application, like OnlyOffice. Use Excel with auto save but get a "save all changes" storage system like Exablox

Tell her what is possible, that's your job. Afix prices and info to each. Then make her decide. Then any complaints you just tell her "hey, talk to the person who made this decision... you".

Although this link is about HP Recovery Partition, I believe you can use the same fix.

Found the same thing a bit ago... just been working other thngs to try

You just want to remove the drive letter from it.

I just wrote a wiki article for this, internally.

How are you liking Bookstack so far?

I mostly love it.

I need to rethink a little of our organizational design now that it has more content.

@scottalanmiller Which I agree to, which is what we have done.

@black3dynamite said in Server Time Zone configuration:

What does BIOS time use local time or UTC?

Whatever you set it to?

BIOS: local time or UTC
OS: UTC

Or is only an issue if you are dual booting?

In general I don't care about the BIOS/UEFI time because I sync my devices from a time server. that just means I need to set my devices to the correct timezone, then the time will come over as desired.

I updated all the sites that could be rebooted mid work day already.

The rest will happen this evening.

@dbeato said in MS Patches Fail To Install - Keep Coming Up In Updates List:

I have not seen this yet or any reports but reminds me of the one a month or so ago that still continues to install on others.

This is nothing new. Windows systems have been doing this for years.

That is one reason the Update fixit exists.

This might be useful for some people:

@black3dynamite said in PowerShell Failing to Run on Fedora 28:

Is that only a Fedora issue?

No, definitely not isolated to Fedora. It's any distro, or any that are set up, in a way that PS doesn't like in terms of the xterm environmental. So most, I would assume, are affected, but all have a fix. It's a PS bug, and decently easy to work around.

@obsolesce it ran this afternoon. I noted that.

I'm not sure but thats a great idea. I need to look into it as well.

@jmoore said in Phone system:

@scottalanmiller Yeah I know she is just a sales person but she should know more than that.

Sadly bad management doesn't get just how bad this sales person is at their job (after you show them that the sales person was clueless on how it all fit together).

Can I haz money now?

@scotth
Traffic is allowed on x and y. I know that, lets see what support say. Its the other direction i'm wondering. Thanks though.
