What Are You Doing Right Now

RHCE review sessions and noting the knowledge gaps. Luckily the list of said gaps isn't too long :).

@siringo , how you holding up?
I take it that you're plans have been paused again -
@nadnerb .. pretty bloddy shitfully to be honest.
we were in lock up about 4 weeks ago for a week, looks like we'll be locked up for at least 2 weeks, thanks to the tardiness of the nsw govt.
holiday looks lost again, 2nd year in a row.
this is beginning to fuck with me. i'm lucky, i live in the bush and i'm older, but the younger ones in the city & suburbs must be beginning to go nuts.

Here's to another week in the world of Windows system administration.

If only every week wasn't such a bruiser. . . .

My current job has a lower stress level than my last, but the opportunity to work with Linux didn't pan out.

Is there really such a thing as a job with lower stress? in IT even? I've not been here at the new job long enough yet to have that. Seems I just started and it's been four weeks... where does the time go.
So....much...to...do... Oh look - Cat Videos.....

Back to stress for me. PTO was great but now back into teh home office I go.
Big project have to be SOC/CMMC level 1 audited and pass by end of the year. -
Off to a great start on this fine Monday:
- QuickBooks server won't let anyone sign in and last night's backup failed
- Ceiling tile above me completely discolored from the rain we had over the weekend, leaked all over my desk and ruined my keyboard (thankfully, not the monitors)
- Went to move into another office for the day, found the carpet soaked, with no visible sign of a leak
We'll see how the rest of the day goes, but so far, I am not amused...
-
Fighting the good GPO fight.

Uh - wow. Sounds almost like the room next door. Ironically - they have been replacing the roof liner the last two weeks... in - between - cycles - of office flooding rain.
It gets better,.. but then someone decides to take a challenge and make it not so much.

I love,... err hate GPOs.. I need to review a few to understand how things are being deployed / set. (eye roll).

oh jeez -
AD is such a mess.... I don't even SEE GPOs. And it's a mix of Site based and User based OUs - Like . .really?? management much? (burn it,.. burn it with fire!) -

Why do you hate GPOs? I love them!
They are window's version of ansible as far as I know. -

They are window's version of ansible as far as I know.Because they are great when they work as designed. and suck when they don't.
GP objects are a mess. I can't find any type of password policy,.. yet there is one.

Isn't that the case with any management system?

it's probably applied to the default policy...

To a point, but GPOs are a pain to manage, especially when just looking at them for the first time. Not nearly so quick to look at and understand like Ansible/Salt

If you open the settings tab, it will show you only the things changed for that policy.. but yeah.. reading this vs reading a text file for Ansible is a lot harder.
