MS certs can definitely give you an edge at companies that are MS Partners, since they need to meet certain requirements

I assume that that is going away given that the certs themselves are going away.

And the MS Partner track has long had the cloud/azureO365 on the list.

As its own competency. Now that other exams are retiring they'll be needed for other competencies.

@DustinB3403 said in Resume Critique:

@alex-olynyk remove your phone number and email from this document... Ffs are you wanting to be spammed?

Calm your panties. It's a resume that is public shared via Google drive link. Pretty common and he can remove access at any point

Don't use technology as a replacement for being a parent.

Yeah, that is not how that works.

I almost popped in here to ban/delete this. But, I read the thread...

In some humor- maybe I should have deleted all the cleaning service threads- 🧐

That’s a joke son-

Register the drives on WDs site, then submit them for replacement. I've done a bunch of those. If you don't know the server they were in and can't go through the Dell warranty, then yeah you need to go through WD, or call Dell to see if they recorded which drive serial number goes with which Dell Tag #.

@tim_g said in PowerShell Error:

What's the goal here?

Restart two known services named: "Sophos Agent" "Sophos Message Router"

If that's the case, there's a much easier way to do it:

function Restart-SophosServices { Restart-Service -Name "Sophos Agent" -Force -Verbose Restart-Service -Name "Sophos Message Router" -Force -Verbose }

Its either that or just wanted to restart all Sophos services.

@alex-olynyk said in How to Format Powershell Code on ML:

function Repair-SophosUpdate { [cmdletbinding()] Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] [string]$computername ) $Services = Get-Service -Name 'Sophos*' ForEach ($Service in $Services) { If (($Service.Name -like 'Sophos*') -and ($Service.Status -eq 'running')) { Restart-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose -Force } Else { Start-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose } } } ; Repair-SophosUpdate -Verbose

When I run this I get

PS C:\Users\aolynyk\Desktop> C:\Users\aolynyk\Desktop\Repair-SophosUpdate.ps1 cmdlet Repair-SophosUpdate at command pipeline position 1 Supply values for the following parameters: computername: localhost Restart-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController'. At C:\Users\aolynyk\Desktop\Repair-SophosUpdate.ps1:16 char:13 + Restart-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose -Force + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:String) [Restart-Service], ServiceCommandException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoServiceFoundForGivenName,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RestartServiceCommand

I can restart the services as an admin but when I run the script as an admin I get the same error

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Restart-Service 'Sophos Agent' -PassThru Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Running Sophos Agent Sophos Agent PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Restart-Service 'Sophos Message Router' -PassThru Status Name DisplayName ------ ---- ----------- Running Sophos Message ... Sophos Message Router PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Maybe put this in a new thread so you get help?

@RojoLoco said in Help With Resume:

Wait, there is a "reality" show about getting hunted by cops? How do they consider it realistic if the contestants don't have the option to kill the cops that are after them? Because if I was on the lam, with nothing else to lose, you better believe I'd be ready and willing to ice a cop or two if it would help me escape.

LOL - I was kinda wondering the same thing.

My best guess is that the thinking is that these criminals are more of the white collar type, not willing to just kill anyone in their way.

Then they certainly aren't desperate enough to make that show remotely believable. Once you take the job/car/house/wife/family from that white collar guy, he might actually show some real survival instincts. But then again, I despise the very idea of "reality" TV, and would only watch this if they truly destroyed a person's life in order to make it "real" to them.

I only see this as a way to desensitize the public to the invasion of privacy that the gov't is doing to our lives now. and trying to claim it's all for the greater good.

@alex.olynyk without some other authentication recovery solution, you'll have to wait.

You could call a buddy from the office and see if they'll forward it to your personal email.

@alex.olynyk said in Is there a way to see who has modified spreadsheet in the past?:

@scottalanmiller Excel document on a Windows server.

To track changes from the filesystem, you need auditing enabled. In some cases, Excel itself tracks changes. With O365 you "log into" Excel and it tracks them that way.

@alex.olynyk said in Azpen Tablet Only Powers On When Plugged In:

Model A1045DRI
Battery is at 100% when plugged in.
But when you unplug it wont power on.
Reset to factory defaults and still wont power on unless plugged in. Any idea why?

Unless there's any kind of reset switch hidden inside of the system, I'd suggest battery. Is it under warranty?

By default, traffic will pass between VLANs 1 & 2, unless you go into the firewall & add rules to deny traffic

@Minion-Queen said in Issue with Chrome:

I have no idea why it's quiet this week.

My dad came up Tuesday and I have been working on my house..

@alex.olynyk said in Planning a Chromebook Purchase:

@scottalanmiller The one I chose has a 16GB SSD. I hope thats enough space.

I have elementary installed on mine with a 16 GB SSD. It's taking up about 10 GB. I got you a nice sized USB 3 flash drive for the home directory.

@crustachio said in What Tablet to Buy for $70?:

@alex.olynyk I can't remember specifically. I know there are differences depending on which model Fire you have. I have the plain jane, bargain basement one, it was like $30 last year on Black Friday. I think it's just called the Kindle Fire, not the HD. Anyway, I used instructions from XDA forums. Wasn't too bad. The Fire HD's could be completely different beasts.

We have that too, four of them in fact. They were $35 I think. $50 is full price.

Wow. Ok. That's, erm, just let us never talk about this again. Totally forgot this one 😉

yeah I've seen this before, but not for a logon to the computer problem.

Dont see any zipped files in RED. Looked at the messages-20160904 but that only goes back to August 29th

It is only configured to keep them for so long. Otherwise it would sprawl like crazy. If you want gobs of old logs you need to configure that and generally would be configuring it to ship externally.
