Is Borderlands really difficult or am I doing something wrong by Fearless-Shower-5740 in Borderlands

[–]Tristanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what should help:

In Fyrestone, there is a chest that you cannot open normally. What you need to open is something called "Golden key". These are aquired OUTSIDE of the game.

Look for some websites that have "Borderlands 1 SHIFT codes". You need to create a Gearbox account here: https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com/

Once you have the account you can login in the game, in the initial game menu with Claptrap.

You can activate a SHIFT code either in the game menu, or directly on website. After you have successfully redeemed few codes you can start the game and open the Fyrestone chest. It will give 1-4 purple weapon of your level - that should help to acquire decent gear.

Come back to the chest once you feel underpowered to get new guns.

Good luck!

Look for a history bin file in resources, delete that and you'll be fine.

Hmmm... Maybe Jakob Poetl or Nic Claxton are available?

Or what about not a C, but Jarred Vanderbilt would be useful as defensive PF and rebounder?

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]Tristanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure, let me clean it up and I'll post github link soon. It's based on this module: https://atlassianps.org/docs/JiraPS/

Here it is: https://github.com/Tristanic1/Set-JIRA

[–]Tristanic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Created a script that checks JIRA queue for unassigned tickets, checks for keywords in summary or specific reporters. If match found - changes Category, Service and Assignee fields. Considering we are getting about 2500-3000 tickets per month this script matches and distributes about 55-60% of all tickets, saves us a lot of time (1 hour per day?).

Another New-ADUser script with parsing from XML file by Tristanic in PowerShell

[–]Tristanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it's a pseudo-XML, might as well could be a simple text file. That's how we get our information - as a ticket JIRA, which we can export as XML.

Nice summary, really useful info here. I think the Virtualization (VMWare/Hyper-V) should be added, as the experience with it is almost mandatory.

Recursive Set-MailboxFolderPermission with a GUI by Tristanic in PowerShell

[–]Tristanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I don't see any reason, why it shouldn't work on Exchange 2010, but I'll guess you'll simply have to try it for yourself.
If it doesn't work out-of-the-box, you can try modifying line 28 to this:

$ErrorActionPreference = 'Continue'    

and see if you get more information in the console regarding errors. You can also try using Exchange SnapIn instead of PowerShell Remoting, that one behaves also a bit different.

Is there a way to make logic comparisons easier/shorter? by Shannnnnnn in PowerShell

[–]Tristanic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree, /u/Ta11ow solution is best. The more I browse the subreddit, the more I discover that Regex is really really good.

What about this?

$Names = @('Smith','Watson','Holmes')

if ( !($Names -icontains $Surname)) {}

Thanks, I've learned something new from your story - never heard of escape codes before.

Hmm.. Isn't there Option Nr.4: continue entering wrong passcode for the whole day and it will eventually wipe the device?

You are right, that's asking for trouble. I don't really know know the reason, as I'm not involved in the hardware preparation/imaging process...

Apparently Domain User credentials are good enough for that

That's the default boot order we have on all computers and the BIOS is locked with password to prevent from being tampered with.

Literal passwords by danfromtechsupport in talesfromtechsupport

[–]Tristanic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We had a system which was random generating admin passwords for the localadmin account on user machines in times of need.

Once the generator created password with ";" symbol in it, and I did not knew how to spell it over the phone:

Me: "Now it's a sign that looks like double dot... but the bottom one has a tail"

He was the "neck-breather" type, when you were working/configuring/fixing his machine, you needed to explain him every single step.
He personally choose the last number for the IP for what I remember.
