making final preparations for the drive to Dallas tomorrow. If that heat isn't working when I arrive, I know what I'll be doing right away!
I got holes for you to dig for some trees. Yeah, Trees, that works.
If someone were to say that ""Powershell is not programming, its scripting"" Isn't scripting programming since you have to build something to manipulate or interact with something to deliver results? What does programming do again? That quote was from a trainer of a popular IT learning site.

Working on hardening Exchange 2010.
First step, upgrade it to a current Exchange version
Maybe not licensed?
More reasons to not run your own email service.
I actually argued that during my interview here, why bother managing services like Exchange and Lync when they play nice in 365. Exchange is easy to manage once it is up and running, I get it, but the way things are moving it is best to have it in the cloud. If your HQ goes down, so does email. If you have a datacenter offsite, you could run it there, but why bother.....
@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:
Just managed to get non-member reservations for dinner at one of the best private restaurants in Dallas... the Tower Club. Taking the wife and roommate out for a pre-New Year's night out.
Big pimping. Kinda defeats a nice date night with the wife if the roommate is in tote too.

Had my ceiling wired from builder, and threw up a 7.1, working on the .2 to piss off the neighbors. Some nice Polk 3 ways.
I still have to perfect the direction of some of them, but it's pretty freaking loud.
Rumor was they would let us out at 2. Here it is 58 after. bah humbug
@wirestyle22 said in Converting Second Domain Controller from Physical to VM:
I'm most likely going to need to create another thread this weekend. Going to make a from scratch domain + domain controller as if we were just establishing a business.
Why?
Starting from scratch will mean the users will have to join a new domain, meaning their user profile will be changed on the desktops. You know how users fear change...
I learned this the hard way to never ever do again. When the DB on a particular DC is effed and then randomly does weird crap like lets say deleting users....

From my wife just now:
"I am running out to do some errands
my shopping list is interesting:
Tequila
bath salts
Dog Christmas treats"Is there another "Christmas" party I was previously unaware of?
The joys of empty nesting I assume?

Halfway to Houston.
How long is the drive?

Backend connectivity, Fiber? iSCSI? Wireless?
