Wow... got mighty quiet around here... Where'd everybody go?
Well If I had my choice... there is a hammock in the other room that needs to be worked out. It's new and needs to be stretched.

It's Monday and no one is awake enough to chat yet
-
It's 10:30 AM! Not awake enough to chat? (looks in empty glass). Yepp. I think you may be right . I don't ever run out of sweet tea before lunch!

Define Chat...If you mean grumblings and dark cloud formations,.. yup.. that's about right.
Nearly out of tea myself... I'll have to skip out early for lunch to make more. Be back about dinner time...

@g.jacobse Wake me up when you get back.

Had some pretty serious power issues over the weekend. Seems our primary site was down for a good 2-4 hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning. The UPS's made a valiant effort keeping the infrastructure running for over an hour.. but they failed fairly early in the morning and brought down the two hosts attached to them. Thankfully everything shutdown and rebooted gracefully when the power was restored (except for a small issue with a Linux box that was quickly remedied).
-
@coliver That sounds like a good way to start a Monday. People running around "It's broken! It's broken!"
You step onto a nearby podium: "It's not broken! Get to work!"

The hosts actually came back online at ~6AM Sunday morning. I was really impressed, no manual intervention required. As far as the majority of people are concerned we didn't have any issues when they came in this morning.
We did have a internet outage from 6AM-10AM as well on Sunday, which is when one of the two people that were working yesterday called me.

Just got "back" to Utica after the weekend away in Rochester hanging out with my dad.

Trying not to get myself in trouble over in Spiceworks for slightly modifying the Spaceballs theme on a thread....

Running around like a mad person installing a new exe on all of my end user machines that requires local admin rights to run.

Can't use PDQ Deploy?

Why? I would never do that. There's got to be a way to do it remotely even if you have to re-wrap the install.

Maybe he'll get back to us after he gets done, lol.

I don't know powershell - or have another tool currently in my knowledge base - please suggest free/cheap ones, happy to look.
I have deployed MSIs using GPO, and will ultimately do that here to, but I had to get this out there NOW. No time for learning something.

Playing with VMware now, trying to install Server for Jira service desk.
-
Hey @Joy how did your Jira set up go?

PDQDeploy's free version makes it very easy to deploy MSI files if the application installs are of the Next, Next, Next, Finish variety... . Their paid version (cheap) allows for more customization and other types of installers to be run.
