@markferron said in Licenses for APs and Switches:
@thwr That's actually another issue. I don't really know how the budget works here, and we don't really interact with our vendors. Just guestimation...Amazon has 3 year licences for the MR32 @ $208 each and $120 for the switch. So that's about $29,240 for a set of 3 year licenses.
Wow... I guess they get some discount, but you could buy hundreds of UBNT APs for that anyway.
Our new dishwasher sucks a bit: when the program finishes, it beeps five or six times. Not that bad, but if you don't turn it off afterwards, it will beep again every few minutes...
Now the "eco" program runs for nearly 3 hours and I had to wait for it to finish before going to bed.
New rule: Do not turn on the dishwasher past 21:00h.
@coliver said in Licenses for APs and Switches:
Make sure you include the labor in the comparison as well. Hanging new APs can get very costly.
I guess all the wires are already in place. Shouldn't be too hard to replace them

Wait for it? From the man who wields a soldering iron with skill?
There's a speaker in there somewhere
That's my man. Exactly the type of solution I thought about

Still would be to get someone in a ladder or lift to do the replacement. I've done a 150 AP organization before that was a good week for two people.
The question is: Who should climb the ladder? Probably not someone who bills $150+ per hour.
@MattSpeller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:
Dinner last night was scotch and scotch eggs. This may be related to non-IT news.
How? Do you plan to migrate to the UK?

That'll be me. They're cheap, but I know what I'm worth haha.

One day I'll be worth that...one day...

@dbeato said in Flushing GPOs:
You need to setup the settings to Delete or changed to not configured, wait until it applies and then delete the GPOs after confirming they are not applied any longer.
Get-Content c:\temp\gpos.txt | foreach { Get-GPO -Name "$_" | Remove-GPO }

I bet you could do something like this to set all GPOs to "on delete remove from client" too

Just got home, fairly shitty day...but this one sums it up....
customer has a problem with a printer on a Mac, trying to fix it by removing and reinstalling etc, all the usual stuff. My test print works fine to it from word, but he's trying to print an excel sheet. Not got a clue (and I still hate macs) so tell him I'm going to do some research and is that ok. He says yes....so I look into it, find a few possible solutions, ring him back "Nope, you've run out of time, I have things to do now." - well....it's obviously not that ephin important then is it.
/rant.
Mac users are the worst
takes shelter from incoming flames
Like a religion on its own....
Really glad I have no Macs on my network. Have a simple 100% no net and no support rule for them.
Lucky bastard. Our devs have to have iMacs to make our iPad app. I try not to support them, and also our devs are smart and figure most of the issues out on their own.
Why do they need to? As you may know, I'm a developer myself and you can write pretty great cross-platform apps on Windows and Linux for example. Apache Cordova or Xamarin are just two frameworks for this.
Same here - take care. Last logon normally won't be synced between DCs. You need to loop through Get-ADDomainController results and query each DC individually.

Why can people, supposedly IT people especially, not use a f*** [moderated] search. Or even browse the recent topics.
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1847932-3cx-and-traditional-analog-paging-systems
Making good use of a search engine / search function is a skill on its own IMHO... I know quite a few people who aren't good at it, to say the least.
Google + RegEx = YASSSSS!
I'm using EXCLUDE, EXACT and OR mostly...
Does Google finally support RegEx? Couldn't find anything about it, apart from Analytics and a few old SO posts.
Usually cold data. Maybe "abandoned" / "orphaned"?

Use the pipe bar for OR. You can also use Google to search websites by including "site:www.website.com search terms here", just to name a couple. I've also used a website called JimmyR.com to grab RegEx and tweak it for my own uses. It's how I found an installer I needed a few years ago buried on a file server somewhere on the internet that was for Act 2000.
Awesome, thanks for mentioning that site. Will check it out.
The search thing is in the upper-right corner. The site hasn't changed in at least 6 years. But the most comprehensive RegEx is the one I posted. All others are basically variations of that.
jsp|php|html|aspx|htm|cf|shtml
you are missing at least a dozen, probably many more typical / possible extensions (for example: asp, py, shtm, phtml, phtm, ...). In theory, everything can be exposed as a website. Compiled binary as .png? Possible
Plus, URL rewriting is everywhere now...

On Saturday, a local brewpub is having an Oktoberfest celebration... A proper, German style lager on tap, lots of schnitzel
untund spaetzle, a guy with an accordion playing polka, and it's all you can eat and drink for $45. Should be quite a drunkening (just like last year and the year before).
FTFY
Should I mention that I'm not a big fan of that bavarian stuff? Neven been on the Oktoberfest myself. There's a pretty large river going through Hamburg, one of the largest in Europe, the Elbe. We (who live in the nothern part) call it "Weißwurstgrenze": weisswurst border.
Another one is the "white sausage equator" at 49°N: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weißwurstäquator

wrcombs.com is available. Go register it for a year at godaddy (or whoever) for $12.
Then, like @thwr pointed out in his list, use something like ad.wrcombs.com as your AD domain.
doesn't sound horrible. thanks.
Welcome. Staying away from .local domains, plus knowing you are not using somebody else's domain will make your life SO MUCH easier. No need to start learning bad habits in the beginning.

Started an rsync. Seems to be running well so far, only 132G of data for the initial sync. If everything goes right I'll daemonize it tomorrow.
rsync is very robust. When something fails, it's most probably a PEBCAK error
