They also use colored ones to identify isolated ground circuits too.

yeah cause no one wants a nice shock from different in ground potentials.. well some people like getting shocked but not me.

@scottalanmiller do any of those support SSD caching?

No. The Drobo B1200i does SSD tiering. None of them do caching.

@MattSpeller For me it's about just making everything online encrypted.

Hide the important things in the noise. Right now the use of encryption is more of a flashing red light to those looking that someone has something to hide. OK that's over stating it, there are plenty of sites that use encryption, but I'd rather the sea just be nothing but.

To me, it is not even that.

It is hide everything in transit.

What I post is highly public for multiple reason. Not the least of which is the use of my name.

But when I am posting I want the expectation of knowing that no one in between me and the site I am posting on has the ability to scrape anything plain text out of the packets in transit.

Looks like it's not tied to the IP address itself, nowdays but a virtual IP. Which the way we did our rescoping was to add a second NIC so that mapping was lost (if we had just changed it on the primary NIC it would have been fine, but caused other issues). Anyway we can't just add this back because SAP destroys the licence if it detects this changed. We have to wait for a new file from SAP..

It is 2016, not 1969-12-31, why would you do that?

It's about software bugs.

This worked

import-module ActiveDirectory cls write-output "This script adds the destination user to all the Groups which the source user is memberof." write-output " " write-output " " $SName = Read-Host "Please Enter the alias name of the source user " $DName = Read-Host "Please Enter the alias name of the Destination user " $DN = Get-ADUser $DName -Server DOMAINBDC $K = Get-ADUser -Identity $SName -Properties memberOf foreach($group in $K.memberof) { Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $group -Member $DN write-output $group }

Working here.

Thanks - I have one customer with one of these.. might be time to change to a ERL

It's an easy upgrade Just upgrade to the ASA version not affected.

Assuming said customer is paying the contortionist extortionist pricing for software updates.

Sounds like at least a chat with the big boss is in order.

So I've always wondered, why do so many people treat IT Staff (Technicians, Network/server admins and even directors) like crap? Is is because employees think these positions are below them or what?

Most people have trouble managing their expectations I find. There is also a disconnect with users where they think you caused their problem when in reality you are there to fix it.

And they expect the fix to be as simple as you waving your magic wand.

I have been know to proximity fix things. 😉

Which is how we get to today, where government has near direct control of business. Or is it business has near direct control of government? Either way, it's just bad for the little guy.

I think this thinking is what allows it to happen. The fault cannot be that of the government nor can it be of business. They act as they are told and are predictable. The fault is always with the people. Always.

The problem is, business has control of the people. This is at the request and permission of the people, of course. But that is the essential problem. It's a democracy, the people control the government. But the businesses control the people. The people could stop it anytime they want, but they don't want.

@Jason True 🙂

I'll definitely give you that - but then you're still at the single device problem. Logging in from a phone, and getting a text message on the same device.

Same Device isn't as big of a deal.. It's more of same method of access. EX: Email is a back door to most accounts, if you have the email you can reset anything. So using the email as a place to send the 2FA login codes is just not a good idea.

Agreed.

I'll probably have to turn it over to them (while filming) and the pursue legal action. Otherwise they will send the account to collections for the fees, and possibly even back charge for cable modem rental for 3 years. ($10/month + $300 fee).

Do not turn it over to them. Don't even talk to them anymore. Just head for small claims court. This is theft, and you have the evidence.

And with the contract you might even have "premeditated intent to defraud and extort."

Correct

What good are remote sensors if you don't have a HVAC system that has multiple zones?

My house is all a single zone. My second floor is often 5-10 degrees more than the main floor, which is 5+ degrees warmer than the basement.

Averaging is about the only good thing. In a ranch house the thermostat is always in the hallway.You can say you you want a sensor to be at a certain temperature but it's going to affect everything else and over work your system.

I've not run my own but several people here have, they might have a good idea as to the time and effort involved.

After looking at it for 5 minutes this morning, really no need to. It's just a client so far.

I'd love to see something like this that you could easily keep everything in-house.

Totally in house available too.

Turned out to be a bug in the Cisco IOS version 15.0.. updated to 15.2 and it worked.

I gotcha. Yeah... I ran into that problem too when I first started at this employer. They didn't want me to do my Hyper-V setup on hardware initially, but then I convinced them because they didn't want to make changes to production VMware servers, lol.

We have so many of them it doesn't matter. We have them with Trunked with the production lan and the Test Lan, we use the same physical hosts for both.
