Writing some simple powershell scripts as the human factor has been to unreliable to do the job correctly.
Time to replace the human with automation.
"Go away or I will replace you with a very small shell script!"

That's from an old Dilbert comic strip.

They seem to be making a comeback here, slowly.

Getting close to back to school - Struggling finding a afternoon daycare that isn't too expensive which is next to impossible - the life of a split custody agreement.

I'm assuming these are the headwinds you're encountering at the moment.

Yes - There is generally some headwind as you learn the requirements and limitations in a new environment. Even if some of those practices seem - misguided.

RHCE practice time going over handling errors. Alas, this evening saw me drawing a blank on some syntax.

I'm guessing they can't or don't know how to enforce the execution policy to remote signed for example, and are instead using actually unsecure methods to manage.

Killed one of our dell switches last night, well can't ping/access it after a OS update.
Got our MSP looking at why some ESXi servers can't see the SAN as there was a 2nd switch. Can ping everything hosts & SAN but they're just not talking. they set it up so they can fix

Sorry for the snark while you're dealing with the aftermath.

Might not be 100% them, it might be due to the Dell Certificate issue as someone failed to update the switches before yesterday.

Trying to get work scheduled so that I can actually get it off of my plate. Gah I hate it when things drag on.
Of course some of these changes are going to have breaking impacts to workflows....

Laughing my ass off at red tape. Get a project. Reach out to specific vendors and get get the pricing and options. List four good options, with a #1 recommendation suitable for us. Get together with the C levels, and get it shot down as 'C' levels want to verify what we actually need from the options (which I did already). C levels spend several weeks in meetings, internally, externally... and come back with the exact same #1 recommendation. Pfft.
