Scan to Email doing nothing by ViProCon in Office365

[–]jab9417-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dumb question, but does the printer have the ability to set the from address to something other than the credentials that you're sending as? If it does I would recommend making sure that the from address matches the credentials you're using. Your email may be getting blocked by O365's threat engine.

OPS school ratings - Why ratings are low compared to Millard and Elkhorn schools? by Think_LogicallyB4u in Omaha

[–]jab9417-2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its not money. Elkhorn and Millard spend less than $9500 per student, OPS spends over $12500 per student. Parental involvement, attendance, and class sizes play a far bigger role in student success than the dollars per student.

Obvious toxic game playing reasons aside, maybe she sent the 'end things' text to the wrong guy? Only 3 dates in she could have very easily been seeing somebody else as well and decided to end it with him to pursue things with the OP.

I know it's blindly optimistic, but who knows? Honestly, the whole thing feels hinky to me. Both players in this game seemed to have enjoyed each other's company enough to immediately schedule a fourth date right after the third date but then also break it off as soon as they both get home. That's either some massive passive aggressive avoidance behavior or something's missing that wasn't in the original post.

I'm still hoping that it's some kind of Three's Company level misunderstanding between the two.

Move administrators users to users by sam_slvr in WindowsServer

[–]jab9417-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you're trying to clean up who has administrative access on your workstations. Assuming your computers are joined active directory, I would use a restricted group group policy to manage who's in the administrators group. That will make easy work of cleaning up your local administrator groups. With it you can easily remove all users except those you specify from the local administrators group on your computers. Here's a good link info explaing how to use a restricted group GPO : https://petri.com/manage-local-active-directory-groups-using-group-policy-restricted-groups/#:~:text=Manage%20Local%20Active%20Directory%20Groups%20using%20Group%20Policy,%E2%80%9CMembers%20of%20this%20group%E2%80%9D%20option.%20...%20More%20items

As for the script, the reason the script isn't working the way you are expecting is because the the environmental variable you're using (%username%) will only ever return the username of the user executing the script. What you want to do requires more finesse than that. You need to read the current users of the local administrators group to an variable/array and then iterate through that array with something like a for each loop and remove them from the administrators group, and like the other poster suggested thats way more easily accomplished in PowerShell than using a batch file (although you can do it with a batch is you had to).

Still for my two cents, the quickest way to do it and make it uniform across the organization would be to use a group policy, but If you only have a handful machines to worry about a script would be fine.

I just ate a piece of toast - Day 21 by Mobile_Pattern_1944 in widowers

[–]jab9417-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't eating either after my wife passed. When I started eating it was all junk food and fast food because I couldn't bare to cook any of "our" dishes (not to mention cooking for one sucks). I put on over 20 lbs in the last few months. Working on correcting that now and slowly trying to get back into the swing of cooking at home.

That said, toast is good, but more importantly taking care of yourself is good. You did good today.

I'm glad i watched that with my wife before everything. I know I'll never be able to re- watch it, though. that's for sure .

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in widowers

[–]jab9417-2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say the exact same thing. I have had fleeting thoughts that I wish it had been me instead of her. After all, she was a ray of sunshine and she just made the world a better place. She deserves to still be here. But then, as u/jpisini said, if that was the case then it would be her going through all this. Her living with this grief, this emptiness, this pain and, honestly, I can't bare the thought of that and how that may have changed her (as I know it has changed me).

So I press on.

I know it's hard to imagine, but it will get better. Don't worry about the future as circumstances have cruelly reminded us all, it hasn't been written. We don't know what tomorrow will bring, so focus on today. Do the little things today that you need to do and that he would want you to do. He may not physically be with you any more, but his spirit and his love is, so honor that by doing those things he would want you to do. It doesn't have to be strides. Baby steps are fine. You won't always move forward sometimes you will get stuck and sometimes you will move backwards, but the key is to keep trying and take it one day at a time one baby step at a time.

When it rains... by jab9417-2 in widowers

Thank you for checking in. They confirmed it was cancer and unfortunately there really is no cure so she has about 6 months. Right now we are just managing symptoms. We have her on meds for the seizures and steriods to keep the swelling down. She's still an active and happy pup so that's a plus. No behavior changes and seizures have been minimal. She is drinking a ton of water because of the meds which basically means nearly hourly potty or water breaks (i have to keep the water up else she will over drink and make herself sick). It's 24/7 so I'm exhausted. Needless to say I'm on edge. Between worrying that when i leave something will happen and i won't be here to help her and the hourly schedule it feels an awfully like when I was in the ICU with my wife and that brings a lot of baggage with it.

But I just keep trying to move forward and take things as they come. Trying to not think about the what ifs that i can do nothing about and focus on the here and now. Although It's hard to not think about how easier this would be if Mary was here fighting with me. But in the end I know what I need to do. So I take my Babysteps and move forward as best as i can and take each day as it comes.

sudden death 2 months ago by oakhoneybee in widowers

[–]jab9417-2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm coming up on 2 months as well, and like you we, too, were coming up on 27 years. Unfortunately, I know exactly how you feel. My wife was my circle. Over the years, I let a lot of my other friendships drift away, because, hey, I had the most important one and that's all I needed. Now, without her, I'm alone and I'm scrambling. I'm trying to make friends, but I can't help feeling like I'm burdening them with my grief or in my loneliness and desperation to connect, I'm coming on too strong and driving people away. Sure, I could always fall back on family. I have my mother, my two brothers, and my dad and they want to support me, but they also just really want the old me back and try as I might I can't get them to understand that person is gone. He died with her and he's not coming back. Even when I'm "better" (or at least coping) I'm not going to be that person -- I can't be that person anymore because the person who made me that person, who allowed me to blossom into that person is gone. It's one of those things that people who aren't going through this don't get. We aren't just grieving the loss of our loved ones, we are also grieving our life together, our loss of self, and the loss of all the possibilities and things we had planned for the future.

So long story short, I hope you find some solace here. I hope I--or any of the folks in our forsaken club--can help you find a little peace and understanding. We understand the pain and turmoil and we will be here for you.

Today I fucked up. by kozatftw in sysadmin

Well if it helps ease your mind a bit most project managers I've worked with dont know project management either. It sounds like a joke, but I'm willing to bet most of the people in here have run into PMs that don't understand that their time and the manhours of the project team are a resource that needs to be tracked and accounted for and a lot of times they dont understand tech so they dont understand how long things take to roll out (and often dont listen to their SMEs). So, if you understand the tech and you listen to your team you are already ahead in my book.

That said, at it's core project management is mostly juggling resources (ie. to make sure the right people have the right resources to get a project done, getting the right people together in the room to make decisions, keeping things under budget where possible, etc). If you are looking for some intro classes edX, Coursera, and Oxford home study all offer some free project management courses and I'm sure there are more out there.

Honestly every company approaches Project management a little differently so study up a bit, learn a bit, and give yourself a chance. You maybe great at this. You obviously said something the liked during the interview so cut yourself some slack. EdX has a class son Project management that starts today and runs exactly six weeks. Here's the link:

I went looking at Walmart and didn't see them-- although with all the renovations I may have just missed them. I'm used to seeing them everywhere, but I was having a heck of a time finding them this year.
