I wanted to extend a thank you to Danielle, the NTG staff involved and all the attendees for a great time at the inaugural MangoCon. Already looking forward to next July. :thumbsup_tone1:

I just won one of these in a contest over on the SW forums and I think I'd like to sell it. I'll be posting it on craigslist locally but thought I'd post here to see if anyone has been looking at something similar and wants a deal. These are selling on Amazon from Meraki for $1574...pm me or make me an offer if interested. Assuming it gets here by the 19th, I could bring it to Mangocon.

Anyone from this community going to Microsoft Ignite conference this year? I will be there...I arrive in Orlando on Sunday 9/21.

Anyone planning on going this year? I have approval to go. It would be nice to know at least one person of the few thousand attending.

My favorite t-shirts are the ones that come in fat man sizes. Every year I take home about 15 shirts from SpiceWorld and promptly give 13 of them to my son .

@scottalanmiller I'm a little on the fence. Its so damn expensive (and long). I would almost rather save the company some cash and go to SpiceWorld instead. Does anyone even go to SpiceWorld anymore?

After going to Spiceworld once, I can confidently say there is little reason to go. In fact, if my ticket had not been comped, I would have been PISSED that I paid anything to be there.

The @scale cruise was super fun, don't miss that if you go. Besides that, the only other highlight was flaming Dr. Peppers with @scottalanmiller et al.

I've been there 5 times and to be completely honest, the biggest takeaway has always been networking with you guys. I didn't attend one breakout session in years 3 though 5. My admission would also be comped so the price is right.

Travel mugs are good. The BEST mugs are Tervis mugs...if any vendor was to give those away, it would instantly be the best swag of all time.

I think I got it figured out. I'll follow up tomorrow if it doesn't work as planned tomorrow morning.

Probably AirBnB options, too.

If I was paying for it, I'd probably do AirBNB

In preparation for some privilege management software, I went looking through my OUs and DNS to find out some issues were present. Under my main OU, I have one called Computers (as usual) then I also have an OU called Insight and under Insight I have another folder called Computers. I just assumed that since everything was done within the Insight OU, all the computers would go into that subfolder but that's not the case. I have computers listed in both Computer folders and there seems to be no rhyme or reason. In addition, I have bunches of old computers that I know are no longer in service listed in both. Removing them isn't an issue but I have 10 computers that are no longer in service however I can still ping them. Does anyone know how this could be possible? Is it somehow tied to a MAC address on a computer that has been re-imaged and named differently? What happens if I just delete them? What could be the ramifications of doing so? I'm kind of at a standstill until I can get the OUs straightened out.

@tracy_burton

how do you solve it when it gets hung ? via task manager --> end process, if that is the case and this is working for you, then batch file will work.

However I would investigate (when I have free time) how ERP software gets feeded (mysql/basic files/what connector it uses) and see if I can try to further understand to help solve the issue.

Secondly, try replacing that Win 7 with 2008R2, and check if program runs more stably using that. I reckon there is still a way to trial 2008R2.

The new version of the ERP software runs on .net so once the upgrade is done, I don't anticipate this being an issue. It honestly is just really bad software and this is an "add-on" piece that no one in support even knows about. I've invested many many hours into trying to fix it and I'm done wasting my time. This will suffice for now.

@tracy_burton Yepp!

So in that field I should be putting CD "C:\Program Files (x86)\Consona\Made2Manage Client\BCP",. correct? When I do, the task won't even run.

I also did it without the "CD" in front and nothing. I removed the quotes and it worked...Stupid crap!

I got the batch script and thought everything was fine but it's still not working. I think this is an issue with this specific program so I'm not sure anyone here can help but I'll explain whats happening.

When it launches, it has some associated preferences with it (the correct location to post to, etc). I can double click on the batch file and it runs perfectly as long as its located in the program folder where the exe file lives. When I setup the task scheduler, I pointed it directly to the correct Program Files folder but it doesn't launch with those associated preferences. I manually run it and its fine but the task scheduler is missing something.

You can also try and CD to the right directory at the start of the batch file.

I don't think this is the issue since it does run the batch script so it knows where to find it.

Right, but when it runs the batch script, unless you have set the Working Directory ("Start in" on the screen), it's just going to run the batch file form probbably C:\Windows\System32 or something like that.

I think I see where you're going. Are you talking about what I'm pointing to in this screenshot?

Sounds like permissions would be the first place I would look. Does task scheduler attempt to run the program as you, or as a service account?

I have it set to run as administrator so there should be no permission issues but I'll take a look.
