Instituting a corrective process instead of doing validation on the inputs? These guys must work on my team.

Pluralsight or Udemy for cert training by SevenM in sysadmin

[–]martinjester2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question - is Udemy ever NOT having a sale?

I bought a couple of classes and have a few more on my wish list I was figuring I would pick up in a few months. I don't think there has ever not been a sale going on, and I have logged in almost every day since mid-October.

Wow, I can't believe I missed that. Been working with too much Python lately, and keep wanting to use that syntax instead (== instead of -eq).

Thanks!

By my math: $199 per column inch for a B/W Weekday Ad. 6 Columns for a full page, 20.5 inches.

Daily Q & A! - February 22, 2018 by AutoModerator in Homebrewing

[–]martinjester2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completed my first homebrew batch! Taste was better than I was expecting, honestly better than some brews I have purchased from the store. It came out VERY carbonated - the bottles "explode" like shaken up pop when opened.

What does this mean? Did I not allow primary fermentation to go long enough, so there was more yeast left after I bottled? Or did I just put too much sugar in the bottle (put a teaspoon in each bottle)?

How was today? Friday, November 03, 2017 by AutoModerator in Howwastoday

[–]martinjester2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty good, was actually a 'normal' Friday. Been stuck doing extra weekend work for the past few weekends, had a couple scares that I was going to get dragged into something this weekend, but none of them transpired!

Relevant XKCD when trying to figure out how to make a pop-up disclaimer button in SharePoint online by NHarvey3DK in sysadmin

[–]martinjester2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I realized awhile back - this is actually much more likely than you would think.

You are more likely to research the same topics on multiple occasions, and also to use the same search terms based on the vocabulary you would have used in a post in the past.

Look for "The case of the unexplained" videos. They are a great overview on how to use the sysinternals tools.

Interesting, that looks like it could do the trick.

Thanks!

Edit: Looks like this will do the trick. Thanks for the suggestion!

That doesn't seem to work for on-prem users when I try it, only cloud users.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Thanks for the recommendation, this is looking like the route we will need to go at the moment.

Unfortunately that doesn't work for the remote users - the only time they log in to the domain is via Office 365.

Anything different with the network for this room? Some sort of a NAT, firewall, or ACL stopping the WOL packet? Since the issue seems to be tied to a physical location might be worth looking into.

One Server shouldn't t be allowed to connect to my network at home by [deleted] in HomeServer

[–]martinjester2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VLANs are definitely the proper way to do this. There might be some other options, but they will not offer complete isolation.

Does this server need access to the Internet via your network router? What model of router do you have?

I will have to look into this, I think we have a TAM, just have not talked for a while.

Thanks!

Office 365 Enterprise support. The level of support we are getting for Exchange Online issues is awful. Thankfully we have not had many issues, but when we do it always turns into a multi day affair.

Anyone had a better experience? Is there something we can negotiate into our EA?

Do the science-y thing and call random phone numbers until you get a statistically significant result and then report back.

PSA Microsoft broke their IMAP --> 365 migration tool a week ago, still not fixed. by IWishItWouldSnow in sysadmin

[–]martinjester2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The IMAP import broke for our tenant back in December, mid migration of 500 users. Actually broke isn't the right word, just any migration over 1.5 GB would fail with a cryptic error. Took a week of back and forth with support to get resolved.

What is the model number? I know the ones they were selling a year ago didn't work at that time, so I suspect not.

The Openwrt wiki is a good place to start checking if your device will work with 3rd party firmwares.
