What is filling up the space on your DCs? 25 GB seems really high for something to fill immediately. Are you using DFS?
Yeah we are.
I have no idea what is taking up this space. I'm attempting to find it now.
-
Alright. I'm waiting to see what the event logs are going to tell me but it seems like a lot of this (not all) has been resolved. For some reason they used AVG Tuneup (yeah...i know) on our Domain Controllers and they created recovery files that were 30 GB+, then when our OS partition didn't have enough space to make changes the DC's just started turning off services.
I still can't ping some hostnames but I may just need to wait for replication.
-
WHAT? A reg cleaner on a DC? I don't think there is a facepalm meme sufficient for this level. Can you get them fired? If you continue to experience problems you may have to retire those DCs (hopefully they're virtualized).

@Kelly You have no idea what I'm dealing with over here. I'm not a religious man but please pray for me.

I don't know how to not care. I always see the network as my baby. Also, it's in my best interest for us to get our contract renewal whenever that comes up.
-
Hopefully my motivation to learn will produce results in the next half year and I'll be able to specialize more. That may lead to a better job. I'll update this thread tomorrow when I have more information. Thanks for the help @Kelly.

From the sounds of it, He basically works for a S*B, but a HUGE one
He's a jack of all trades, they don't have dedicated Server team, don't have a dedicated desktop team. Don't have a dedicated Helpdesk.He gets to wear all of those hats.

Yeah kind of. The servers aren't my responsibility until something happens that everyone else doesn't know. I guess they trust me although I don't know why

The smaller the team, the more hats one must wear. Division of responsibilities amongst an enterprise sized team has little or no bearing on a one or two person IT department.

It cannot be overstated how bad this is. The network is NOT your baby. This attitude means that IT is the wrong career path for you, it means that entrepreneurship is the right path. Owners own the network, it is their baby, not the IT team's.
The idea that you own or oversee the network is so unhealthy, it has no place in IT. It will cause you to be a bad employee, it will make you unhappy. There is no good outcome of it - not for you, not for the business.

He works for a large entity, though.

No, not kind of. If there is a team that that is their job it is not your job. Don't let them give you that job without giving you pay for that job you're letting them abuse you. This is 100% your problem and 100% your fault for letting them do it. It is not your problem. If the problem in packs your job pinpoint the problem send it to the person who need to take care of it and fucking ignore it it is not your goddamn problem.

Not kind of. Are they, or are they not? Think about it for a minute, chances are you know the answer here. Are you the admin who "owns" the servers, or do you work on them with someone else's permission?

I hear you guys, but ultimately I'm not going to be doing this much longer most likely. I'm going to study extremely hard for 6 months and see where I'm at. If I'm not happy then I'm going to start doing something else. I've spoken to some of you privately for...days in some cases. I'm either cut out for this or I'm not. I'm most likely not but we will see.

Actually no you're not listening because if you were you would not be hating your job and you would actually be getting something done the problem is you not listening to what we're telling you that you can't own everything in less it is actually your job and you're being paid for that and if you were actually being paid for that you will be making a shit ton more money and not have the stress that you have

Then your time in which to learn this lesson is limited. You've made it MORE important to learn this now, rather than less. No amount of changing jobs or careers will solve this problem, it's nothing to do with IT or the job or even the career, it's all about how you perceive yourself as an employee and the more you want to change, advance or like what you do more, the more important it is to avoid excuses, self reflect and figure out how to fix this problem now.

This is all good, it really is, but it ignores the fundamental problems. This will not change the issues, no matter what role you get in IT, it will be the same. No matter what role you get outside of IT, it will be the same.
