@WrCombs

Monday Morning indeed.. I am still recovering from being sick and lost of 60% of my network. .. New switch came in so that is replaced and now got more back. I feel I still need and will replace the router but need to find the right one as what I have been looking at - isn't available or available at a respectable price.

Work wise is a mess.. Onboard day, I'm still out 'sick' and a contractor was scheduled to do electrical / networking work... so our already limited staff has been overly pushed.

I really am looking for something else... this place is a disaster ...

That sounds horrible. hopefully that gets straightened out or you find something better

Thanks - I'm going for the 'something better' variety

I would go one step farther and uninstall module "work" Sadly that also uninstalls Paychec.exe

Working on another PS convenience script; the POS systems in both pharmacies will ‘stop’ and they can’t process cards from time to time. You have to stop and start the services to reset.

When I got here, they were remoting to that computer and then stop/starting it,.. having used the command line tool in (remote tool I can’t think of now) I found I could do the same in Manageengine,.. and then via command line. So I wrote a simple batch file to do that task.

Now creating a menued powershell script for both sites.

@pmoncho
Yikes -
No thanks.. I just would like to have my 94 hours considering,... or at least a good bit of it.

hypervisor rebuilt & vm's moved back over.
success=yes

Nice. It's always great when things behave themselves after we whack them with a hammer a few times.

Yes,.. yes,.. whack it again!

Just put in a ticket to get our new VDI servers racked up... also trying not to freeze to death (southern version). See below:

As you can see, the apocalypse will occur sometime over the weekend. Between holidays and the looming lack of temperature, I'm afraid to go outside. Probably WW3 going on at Walmart right now.

Trade ya,…

And you to 4” of snow,… after rain. With a FLASH freeze.

Got some heavy tunes blasting, coffee brewing (again)... so much to do before heading across town for the xmas-ing.

I also just remembered it is 17F out, so I finally put a space heater in the garage to keep those pipes from freezing.

17, that’s a heatwave compared to our -7

dont forget windchill dash

We are finally up to 0degF,… we were at -6 this morning.

I’m slow and behind but I am still using keepass or on the iOS device Strongbox as it is compatible with keepass db.

Has anyone that uses Teams seen the 'Praise' button be used for anything BUT sarcasm?
Might just be my team

Yes, the clinic wanted a way to ‘track’ positive employee to employee praise.. so, maybe the idea was some sort of reward for the highest amount at the end of a quarter,… not that I saw it used that way.

Can’t Monday without Microsoft,…
Bitlocker prompted during start up… -sigh-

The only truly good ads ...

What is this odd phrase? Do those words go together like that? Or is this a translation of some idiom badly translated into english?

Agreed,.. thin only good ad is the one I never see, hear, or read….

I love the blank placeholder on the Roku home screen. PiHole FTW.

Had to shut mine down - interfered with game play on certain iOS games... because - shitting games.

Whoo hoo,..
New building will have Yealink T46u phones and other devices…

Dealing with AT&T and Voice Mail issues. For the last few years I seem to have some delivery issues with voicemails being received in a timely manner.

It's sometimes fifteen to thirty minutes to get a voicemail notification on my phone. The kicker was on the 30th taking twenty-five hours before I received the notification.... UN-REAL.

So, reset the network settings, they reset the voicemail completely... I went from a four digit pin to a seven digit pin.. annoying!

And since... I've not received one single voicemail notification. The little message indicator showed nothing. Manually dial voicemail... THIRTEEN MESSAGES!

WH- The- Actual F

So,.. back to the Support calls I go.

Of course it’s just a ten minute job,..

Of course doing all that will only take 10 minutes.....

In who's wildest dreams?

The planning part.

That’s where I start by mapping out the cabling and what not and then just start ripping it out without care… that’s ten minutes (grin) then hours and days figuring out how to re-connect everything.

Deleting Users and their crap posts,..

Love the imagined sound their gummies make as I stomp them off the forum.
