What workshops are you guys attending?

If you haven't booked your workshops yet, you better do it now as they are filling up fast!

Booked in to all things Windows Server 2019 with a focus on Hyper-Converged and Remote Desktop Services since we build farms.

Cool. I am doing two 2019 workshops, security courses, and two blockchain courses.

@momurda said in DNS & OU issues:

@tracy_burton The being able to ping nonexistent computers means you have static dns entries of the old computers whose names point to ip addresses of computers that are being used.
You are probably able to ping these computers by nonexistent name and actual name, and they resolve to same ip.

Or DNS scavenging isn't on (I don't think it is by default). So the old DNS name could be there, just pointing to an IP that also belongs to another computer. Find the entry in DNS, look at the IP, then sort by IP and see if another host has that same IP.

@tracy_burton

how do you solve it when it gets hung ? via task manager --> end process, if that is the case and this is working for you, then batch file will work.

However I would investigate (when I have free time) how ERP software gets feeded (mysql/basic files/what connector it uses) and see if I can try to further understand to help solve the issue.

Secondly, try replacing that Win 7 with 2008R2, and check if program runs more stably using that. I reckon there is still a way to trial 2008R2.

The new version of the ERP software runs on .net so once the upgrade is done, I don't anticipate this being an issue. It honestly is just really bad software and this is an "add-on" piece that no one in support even knows about. I've invested many many hours into trying to fix it and I'm done wasting my time. This will suffice for now.

This is why I don't enter contests with Meraki as the prize. Its like giving somebody a satellite dish as a present.

Unless SW, as a company, changes policies, they won't see me.

I understand but I enjoy going to Austin and I have a good friend that I can see so SW is as important to me as the trip itself.

Are you going to MC this year?

Hopefully he makes it out to MC so he can hang with the team that got them their new SANs in place 😉

CANNOT. No time off. Boss would want me to take this as PTO and that bank is empty. I took time in May and now I have to start saving up for my August '18 trip.

Quit, find new job with more PTO?

VIctoire was pretty awesome. I love the outdoor space and the fireplace there. And the beer selection was really good.
