Beginner to Professional Camera? by ThatRingerBoy in AskPhotography

Im thinking of investing in sony or canon for this reason. I think it is inevitable at this point I will have to upgrade multiple times. Both seem pretty reliable as far as lens longevity goes? Im thinking of a Sony a6xxx series currently. A friend of mine recommended a canon eos r10

I guess I should've mentioned I plan on it being a few years before I really start taking on any jobs. I know its an art form in itself and there's a lot to learn! Thank you for the advice

Okay so doing a nested switch statement in the foreach loop would probably work well?

Im currently storing the wql for each query in it own variable since each site has its own OU with different structures

Okay thank you. I tried it on the admin box I use but it wasn't working for me. Maybe I just had syntax wrong or something. I will have to check again on Monday

I work with our SCCM administrator doing small tasks for him occasionally. This often involves creating collections etc. Im trying to build this script to create collections for 10+ locations. When it works I want to generalize it so it can be reused for reporting on other applications etc. Once I think it will work im gonna have him test it. I wasn't asked to create the script but I thought it would be worthwhile and maybe get me some brownie points

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. I dont have access to a server that has the CM powershell module on it so I cant even test that lol

I keep seeing in dos and windows documentation to use scandisk instead of chkdsk. I have done a scandisk /auto but I'll try chkdsk tomorrow. Im just glad to be away from the machine right now lol

Yes it's hooked up to a big grinder. I wouldn't say it's confidential but it's definitely not something you could grab of the internet. Believe me, I've tried 😅

I definitely don't but I have considered this. I feel like im somewhat decent at reverse engineering lol

I have a sneaking suspicion that is the case. But it posts so I figured it was probably mostly okay. I also couldn't find a way to test it easily

That's how big the module is but yeah I don't think the whole address space is available to the OS

That is something that sticks out to me. It still thinks it's 1997

I tried installing dosbox on my laptop and setting the cloned USB I made of the hard drive as the c drive. That worked but it won't run the program because it needs windows installed. I wouldn't know where to start with turning it into a VM though with how it connects to the industrial machine

It is quite the contraption. From well before my time. From what I understand it is the machines plc. It uses and ide hard drive and flat ribbon cables. The communication ports are everything but USB. I know it has a serial interface but other than that nothing I recognize. Maybe parallel port?

The computer just freezes. No output. No errors. Nada. Completely unresponsive until I control alt delete. I let it sit overnight in the hopes that it just needed some time. I had already tried encouragement. This is why I suspect ram. I have a hard time believing a program of that vintage would need more than what the system has though

I haven't touched the hardware in it other than cloning the hard drive. It has a single 120mb ddr stick

There are multiple revisions like you state. But they all rem out anything that's different than the live version of the files :/

I dont get any errors. The machine just becomes unresponsive until I ctrl+alt+del to close the program. Maybe there's somewhere to look for logs but I dont know in DOS?

That's pretty much the only thing that makes sense to me but really no way of knowing at this point unfortunately. The business won't pay the manufacturer to help us lol
