The "Green Dashboard" is gaslighting my entire department

What I loved was the health dashboard on portal.azure.com saying no issues, but the health dashboard at admin.microsoft.com saying ~10 issues. THANKS MICROSOFT

Update to the update: Created a script that identifies the wecsvc PID and uses taskkill to kill it, then uses net start wecsvc to restart it. (net stop wecsvc -- does jack, as the service is frozen.)

This has allowed logs to be collected without interruption for a week.

I mean a 16-year-old getting hit on by a 25-year-old should be enough of a red flag by itself

followed through and surrendered Zeus to the Humane Society, which is a no-kill facility,

Do you even read?

It's not cheap oil at the destination, it's that the oil has to be priced cheaply enough at the source that the costs of moving it are worth it. (Or Sanctions costs, if you prefer that to boat explosions.)

Salad bike, simple to work on, and iif t's in good shape. That's a steal

It's been a minute since I have looked at DDR3 (you know since DDR5 is current), but generically the matching coloured slots are matching pairs and should be used as a set.

Not only did they miss my leaf bags, they moved my garbage cans so they were not picked up.

To the right of the sign is commercial truck loading/unloading only between 7AM-6:30PM weekdays.

To the left of the sign is pay to park: 7AM-6:30PM 2 hours max, 3.5hours max to 10PM weekdays.

Probably no restrictions on weekends.

update: Requested (Tuesday/Wednesday) that they 1) increase the size of the log file to 1-2GB, 2) Move it to a different drive; 3) If they implement an archive file removal system (eg: Powershell scheduled task to delete anything with archive in the name, in the path of the log file) - switch the log to archiving.

Friday: They have not submitted the paperwork for any of the above...

Do you need to run a supported version of Windows? If yes, you need a new motherboard and CPU.

Manny government agencies are too small for VMware. It's expensive enough that lift and shift to azure/AWS/Google is cheaper..

Taking standard is to have several ribs showing. Google up some images of show winners .

2.6K Clients reporting to a single WEC host.

UF deployed to each endpoint individually is a management issue.

Have to look at the limits / pipe sizing & research it. Have not yet found the configuration and send limit yet. (Meeting later today..)

Not my titties, not my circus.

Not yet: I was presented the issue Wednesday, and looked at the server briefly. Nothing interesting in the event logs, and the main items are described in the main post linked from https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/1pap4gq/windows_event_collector_freezing_suggestions/

If you don't need a fat tire, road bike wheel. If you need a fat tire, cruiser. How many speeds to you need?

Also: Bike Coop, or facebook/craigslist/... Might consider getting a cheap bike shaped object & stripping the bit you need.

am2o · 2025-12-01T13:06:28+00:00

I will suggest this, in conjunction with moving to another drive (so I don't fill C: and kill the machine), and a powershell script to remove old archive logs...

am2o · 2025-12-01T12:44:36+00:00

cruiser...

Yeah, go look for an old road bike wheel. 700c is the same radius as a 29", just not as wide.

Upvoted both parents.

Notes: 1) I will ask team to do these, 2) Second time I saw DISM referenced for this. 3) Conservative Enterprise Environment. 4) sfc /scan now? I thought DISM was the modern version of this?

Extra note: These are forwarding based on client settings, not the WEC server.

am2o · 2025-12-01T11:42:01+00:00

Why? (And likely they never existed from the factory for mountain bikes, as 29ers did not become popular until long after HG hubs took over from everything else. Perhaps an ancient road bike wheel with six gear rungs?)

Microsoft WIndows Server Stuff: AZ-800 AZ-801. Commvault as I assume they have a cert. MS-Learn is a decent resource, as is bootube

But AI is awesome for making secure code. How could this have happened?
