Just got back from a customer ; They called and said their tablets aren't working. Can't ping or see them online, tablets are showing offline at the device itself.
get to the site, and find out that the Wifi Adapter has been shut off. . .(disabled)
Not a problem right? just turn it back on (enable) right?Nope - they use a version of Aloha that creates it's own users
and permissions for those users.. and the user that was set to auto logon - is a local account and doesn't have permissions to do anything.I ran
net user <username> /active:no
This turns off the auto logon for this user, so that we can login with a different user.. I ran it both as Admin, and local.
Got an access denied (x2) - then was told by my boss that I'm using the wrong command.. becausenet useris only for over the network commands.... but he couldn't tell me the actual command that he's used. . . which I can't find anythign exceptnet user
but hey what do I know.Tried enabling the Wifi Adapter with cmd - No luck there access denied.
I laughed my ass off the whole hour drive back with their tablets.
Happy Friday Right?
netplwizis the GUI tool. I prefernet userYour boss and co-worker are on a journey of discovery where they find out you cant disable a currently logged in account. At least that's my first guess to what is going on.

Even using netplwiz it gives me access denied. There's no permissions that are possible.
we typically send a remote command for this.

Sounds like a storage closet.

Public holiday for me!

Hey @siringo, you handling lock down ok?

Not too bad. We live in the bush so all we have to do is wear masks, so it's not really a problem.
The kids are in Melb and are going nutty. Apparently from what they say the mood down there is pretty low. People are becoming rude and angry.
If this goes any longer than it has to, I reckon shit will start hitting fans.
Queen's Brithday hol I'm guessing??

Good that you’re not overly impacted.

WA Day (relatively recently renamed from Foundation Day$

@nadnerb oh, I'd not heard of Foundation or WA Day. Do you get Queens Bday as well???

Yep, but not until September.
We don't get the Melbourne Cup holiday, I guess we traded
-
@nadnerb I worked for a mob based outside Melb. Sometimes, if you're not located in Melb, you don't always get Cup Day off. In this case, they didn't get that day off, but they did get a day off for their Local Cup.
I lived out of town and they told me I don't get that day off because I don't live in town.
This is the same mob, who all went to an employee's brother's funeral without telling me. I rocked into the office in the afternoon, no one there. I asked where is everyone? I was told they all went to the funeral.
Strange thing was, the bloke (the brother) died in a crash with a loaded B double fuel tanker. I was stopped on the Hwy at the crash heading back to the office. The tanker went up, both trailers.
Top blokes, really great with people ... not.
