Hi Gurus,
Recently i have a job interview via skype call. At first they told me that they will initiate the call so I waited. Then the agreed time passed and they emailed me to initiate the call instead. I prepared my home office with correct lighting my camera position and I wear my tie.
Then i initiated the call but I hesitated and press call only instead of Video call. I said to my self that they will initiate the video call if they wanted. The interview started and all parties seems happy. After the call i felt i wasted my preparation for a video call only to know its just a voice call. Or i made a mistake waiting for them to initialized the video call instead of me initializing the video call?
What is the protocol when they said Skype call? Does it mean video call or i need to confirm it with them to prevent guessing. I might get few more interviews so I need to know what the protocols or practices as I don't want to sound like clueless.
Thank you very much and more power.
Hi,
We are using network drive map via group policy of AD Win 2012. How to configure Mac Book to access that same network drive? what are my practical options?
@JaredBusch said in UPS keeps dying:
You have bad power during the cutover, most likely.
It seems this is the case, what are my options since it takes too long before we get proper power? how can I explain this to the Engineering? this is ongoing for almost a year, It seems they are not transparent about the issue or they have no idea about this issue?
I cannot rely on them to fix this, i need to find a solution to avoid getting issues with my switches and avoid spending more time moving switch directly while UPS doesn't online.
I'm using APC and EATON 750 UPS. the UPS keeps beeping and blinking green light as if no power but if you plug the switch direct they will work. Some UPS will be on the constant long beep and red light.
Hi,
Why is it every time we lost the power in the building the UPS dies?
When we lost power, the generator kicks-in around a minute or two, sometimes longer. When the power returns, some of the UPS will die and will need to be replaced. It's been happening for months now and defective UPS keeps filing up.
Do I need to put AVR before the UPS to protect them? I recently installed a new UPS and after a day and a half and maybe around 3 power interruptions, the UPS dies.
Hi,
Do you guys install Carbon Monoxide detector in your IT Office and server room? I'm not comfortable about the building ventilation system of the IT Office and the server room.
Is putting the antenna inside 3 cement walls, cement roof with metal shutters in front (to be closed during a strong hurricane) viable? Just fishing for the idea here.
Hi Gurus,
Is there a way to build a receiving antenna for the island DSL that can withstand Category 5 Hurricane wind? Our antennas for DSL are all gone after Irma. Only left standing is the cement walls. Roof, antenna and equipment are gone. What are my options to minimize expense and faster service recovery after Category 5 Hurricane?
I cannot control the ISP sending antenna side but I'm hoping to improve the island receiving end to reduce headache if possible.

I'm asking how will i incorporate a consultant in the management of the servers since the local IT can handle it. The management thinks that the consultant should be involve even local IT can handle the day to day. Should it just be support when requested during outages or there's other practices?
