Morning @scottalanmiller
Weekly Staff meeting that is also a meeting with a vendor over the Grafana system that they built for us... Whoo!
What did they build, the dashboards?

Using Prometheus as a part of Grafana....
And we now have our own internal Chocolatey server... Fun
Nice

That's a pretty common approach. It works well.

Is that like hte US, where the third highest is still really low?

That's one thing that sucks here. For all intents and purposes, no vacs at all yet.

@travisdh1 That works! I haven't had to dig into logs in a while...
Today we're doing AD cleanup and deleting old things that are no longer needed. I just deleted ~300 servers from our Computers OU. I hope they aren't still in use, lol.
I'm not perfect at cleanup - but damn - 300 servers.
How many users you have to delete? 1000's?
ha ha ha. If only. We just migrated from Google to O365 for reasons that are above my pay grade, and we just killed just over 40k former student accounts.
40,000, holy crap. Over how many years do those accounts span?
i'm working in a school atm, it has 6 students.
So that would be like 800 years for you. LOL

LOL, um, okay. I mean, dashboards can be a pain, I totally get that.

Ha! It lasted about 2 hours. Issue was "resolved" by uninstalling a module.

On today's episode of "Monday, Part 4" - Non-rookie makes completely stupid rookie mistake which ends in ruined hardware
Simple task at hand - upgrade the small 256GB SSD in my laptop to a 1TB SSD so that I can stop carrying around the 1TB portable HDD that will inevitably get lost or dropped / damaged. I've done this dozens of times, no big deal as long as some care is exercised. Well, today was different - I ended up breaking the plastic connector on the motherboard, as well as the pins that used to be attached to the motherboard. The little plastic latch piece that locks the ribbon connector from the drive into the motherboard connector also broke off. No chance of me fixing it that I can see, and I'm pretty sure this level of stupidity isn't going to be covered by the warranty, so yeah - nice 15" paperweight that I have right now.
How is everyone else's day going?

More fun with Quickbooks. Random slowness, servers aren't seeing any sort of high load, local workstations seem to be fine as well. Only thing going on is the database manager not running after a server reboot that we can see (because Intuit can't make their own software automatically run on startup, trust me, I've been through that one before).

A simple PowerShell script could handle that for you...
