Meltdown is ‘largest IT outage in history’ says Microsoft
More than eight-million computers have been impacted in the “largest IT outage in history”, according to the software giant Microsoft.
Microsoft, in a report from Reuters, said: “We currently estimate that CrowdStrike’s update affected 8.5 million Windows devices, or less than 1 per cent of all Windows machines.”
Oh is that all? I mean,.. It's just a minor ONE percent after all...

It was high time to bring this back to the top..
Been actually taking some time to work the radio the last two weeks. Amateur Radio can be interesting and a challenge. The main thing I join in is the ARRL Field Day which is in June,.. but been keeping the radio warm the last week..
Have successfully worked from Australia and Japan to France and the Netherlands. I've never been to successful with reading that map,.. but I believe each balloon with time is where I am heard and how long ago.

Having an odd issue with this printer.
Installed on the print server with the latest driver. Try to print a test page or anything else it cycles like it would print- loads to queue, data light flashes on printer, queue clears- but nothing prints.
Delete printer, driver, port and try older driver and same thing.
Yet I was able to load an older driver directly on computer, made it over write the existing driver and would print.
Pulled in one of the Server Admins and it’s doing the same to him…
Clicking off ideas and running out on things to try.
Weirdly, there are set up to print from/ for SAP, and SAP prints.. though through a different print server.

Accepted a job offer this morning, so I'm back to work tomorrow.
Slight raise to base pay, but I'll also get 5% of my billable hours. So if I keep my billable hours up, a big raise.
Only downside is that it's on-site in downtown Cleveland.
Congrats! Hope it goes well.
@travisdh1 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Starting to juggle job offers. This is before my severance ends, so things are looking up.
That can be a challenge. If they are close enough in details it could come down to the expected environment, and future challenges.
Best of luck.

Waiting on movers to transport a rack of servers to a different site. More fun than you can imagine.
Oh,.. that’s why Star Trek: Discovery started buffering on Plex… well,.. dang

Are you the interviewer or the interviewee?
Interviewee in these cases.
May you find something rewarding and challenging.
Just schedule time off,… use it or lose it…. I have to use eleven days before 5/31,… and I will still carry over time.
Mostly four day weeks for two months. Guess I need an excuse not to do things at home now.

Interesting -
Back up will continue.. But am able to access the whole of the system tonight. I've not done anything except ignore it as I've been quite tired.
I'll take it. I wanted to move to a nextCloud instance running on Proxmox anyway.. but - data recovery is a good thing.

I do have a “backup” but, looks like it’s a month or so old.
This is where you screwed up...
You know what they say about people and glass houses?
It’s been a while since I did a file transfer via CLI, but it’s a starting point.
I did think about sourcing a donor system to swap drives into. But possible killing the array.
I do have a “backup” but, looks like it’s a month or so old. Likely the last one the system was successful with.
The sad part is that connecting any USB drive ‘halts’ the system but it recovers when removed. That would be one path to back up files…

“It’s, always, something,…”
This is to document for myself and should anyone else need.
Unable to access my storage shares the last bit, rebooting does not resolve. Rebooting takes upwards of four hours to complete.
While had been able to access, now cannot. GUI does respond, but none of the user accounts seem to work. Am able to sign in local as root.
While no errors were on the status page when I was able to access, suspect the system is reaching end of life. End of product life happened some time ago.
Am able to interact with SYSLINUX from the unit directly, it has HDMI and USB ports.
However I ‘lose’ response when I plug in any USB drive.
Am able to ssh, so the system isn’t totaled just yet. I can view the shares, and can ping.
While not ready to build a Nextcloud instance on the Proxmox system yet, I am thinking I should be able to recover the data.
Next step:
Create share
Mount share to NAS
Cli copy data from NAS to another computer as backup
@DustinB3403 said in Print Management: Export:
@gjacobse If you open PM, select "Print Servers" > Expand the server > Select "Ports" and then select Export you'll get the port details (ip, WSD etc) into a txt file.
I see now- interesting.
Under the print server you have:
*Drivers
*Forms
*Ports
*Printers
That should be exactly what I needed.

Thank you - not in the office and really don't feel connecting to the VPN tonight. But that is likely what I was looking for, but missing.
I can do this with Powershell, no problem. So Powershell is not the solution.
On this print server I do not have permissions. But I can see printers via Print Management.
Export doesn’t include the IP, the critical item I need for this research.
Can you make PM do this- not seeing any options to select fields.
