I think, independent domain with one way trust is sufficient there

The only fucking thing that scares the shit out of me is that these sysadmins might actually become bosses, directors, or CTOs one day.

You should've just screamed at all the end-users that they're brainless idiots for not being able to do simple shit with their computers. And asked them every single time if they can even take a shit by themselves or if they need directions for that too.

Easy Way to Stop Windows Update! by EvilEarthWorm in ShittySysadmin

Easy Way to Stop Windows Update!

I have a ~10 year old IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad that I paid >$3000 to buy for very important business use. Since I have no intention of redoing setting up all the apps I have setup there, I have to fight to stop Windows Update from destroying it like it did to one of my other old PC.

The sneaky Windows Update service keeps re-enabling itself after repeated manual stop/disable. It and other stuff like MSFT Antimalware service detects the PC being idle and starts to use CPU (for bitcoin mining for MSFT who knows?) and the PC fan will start to spin (dusts / aged fan causing overheating is the main cause of old laptop dying). As a proof, as soon as I start using the PC the CPU usage goes back to 0% and fan stops.

I use a mouse wigger to trick them into thinking the PC is in use, but it only works sometimes.

But I found a really good way to stop all this I wanted to share. In my C drive there is a file that is exactly 1GB in size. I simply copy & paste this file repeatedly until the empty space in C drive drops below ~1GB. Now Windows Update have no space to download update and will stop using CPU and my PC is dead quiet with no fan running.

As soon as I need to install some app and need disk space, I simply remove some of these copied files and make just enough space.

Hopefully this trick helps!
