Dealing with "Internet" issues. Anyone else seeing some general "slowdown?"
Started about 45 minutes ago.
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 Active Accounts: 476 Disabled Accounts: 525God 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).

Afternoon everyone! Enjoying a Fanta Naranja while working on some PostgreSQL stuff.

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.

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.

Until you move the VM to a different host.

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.
