      Yeah, my cat chewed my internet cable over the weekend.

      So you no longer have a cat, right? 😉

        Naw, the cat stays. He was only able to chew on the cable because they never did a proper install, due to covid restrictions.

            I almost wished I had not run that query now - as now I just want to ....

            Connected to and ran a query against AD and it looks like,... (dramatic pause while rechecking)

            Total Accounts:       1048

            Disabled Accounts:     525
            

            God help me. True that this includes service accounts and some other 'fluff'... but,... god - help - me.

              Fixing more FFS items. No one ever setup Exchange IIS Log rotation so a client server backpressure last night causing mail flow to stop.

              I addressed the immediate issue with PowerShell, having cleared ~40GB worth of logs....

              This morning I finished setting up a scheduled task to manage this on a go-forward basis.

                  @travisdh1 Yup... I was shocked up much space was chewed up by the logs..

                  I was especially irked because it was midnight that I was called about this issue and had to fix it (granted 10 seconds but still).

                      Searching through SOP documents to see if there's something that's younger than a decade old that relates to my question before playing a game of Email-Quest.

                          Are there "inactive" but not disabled accounts since 476 + 525 = 1001?

                            After a long ass day, I'm kicking back with a beer and a joint, listening to the funk show on wrek.org Georgia Tech college station... Been a long time since I got to listen to this show from the beginning.

                                Morning all. Cooling down after my morning jog.

                                Awaiting French toast with @CCWTech and @Dominica

                                  Dealing with the frustration of having VMs in vCenter named for general VM function rather than the VM hostname.

                                    really? why would you want a VM name tied to it's host? Should we assume you'll never move a VM to another host?

                                      Because the VM and host is a one to one container/contained relationship.

                                          Let's say there's a VM with the hostname ATLSMTPV01, and the name of the VM in vCenter is Atlanta_Mail_Server_VM_01. If I get an alert that ATLSMTPV01 is down, and I can't access it via normal remote access tools, I want to be able to search for ATLSMTPV01 in vCenter to find the VM for console access rather than need to know to look for Atlanta_Mail_Server_VM_01.

                                            Huh? The VM and the hostname are always linked regardless of which hypervisor they are on.
