@travisdh1 That works! I haven't had to dig into logs in a while...

Today we're doing AD cleanup and deleting old things that are no longer needed. I just deleted ~300 servers from our Computers OU. I hope they aren't still in use, lol.

I'm not perfect at cleanup - but damn - 300 servers.

How many users you have to delete? 1000's?

ha ha ha. If only. We just migrated from Google to O365 for reasons that are above my pay grade, and we just killed just over 40k former student accounts.

40,000, holy crap. Over how many years do those accounts span?

i'm working in a school atm, it has 6 students.

just read i'm living in the 3rd highest vaccinated area in Oz.

saturday morning, the strong northerly has gone away.

@nadnerb yeah, I know, you guys have been copping a belting, very non WA weather.

friday morning, nice change, sunshine ...

weird dfsr problem on a dc.
old dc being reported as still alive in dfs rep group, but doesn't appear in metadata cleanup or dfs management app.

Laughing my ass off at red tape. Get a project. Reach out to specific vendors and get get the pricing and options. List four good options, with a #1 recommendation suitable for us. Get together with the C levels, and get it shot down as 'C' levels want to verify what we actually need from the options (which I did already). C levels spend several weeks in meetings, internally, externally... and come back with the exact same #1 recommendation. Pfft.

So they are IT now?

By all accounts, yes.

frustrating yes, but at least they came back with same decision. coming back with a different decision would have been worse for you i'm guessing.

out of lockdown once more...

Had a server that's being replaced loose 3 of the 4 drives in its array last night. Happy Friday to me, not that it's ever a good day for that to happen! Not a surprise since it's a 7 year old server, and the 3 drives that failed are all original.

This just gets better and better. Former employee recorded the wrong encryption key. So now we're restoring a backup from March so we can pull the key and restore to current.

on the bright side, at least you know you can get 7 years out of those drives ...

listening to too much Captain Beefheart I think ...

@nadnerb .. pretty bloddy shitfully to be honest.

we were in lock up about 4 weeks ago for a week, looks like we'll be locked up for at least 2 weeks, thanks to the tardiness of the nsw govt.

holiday looks lost again, 2nd year in a row.

this is beginning to fuck with me. i'm lucky, i live in the bush and i'm older, but the younger ones in the city & suburbs must be beginning to go nuts.
