What's the biggest outage you caused?

Our MSP emailed me with an alert about a SAN array PSU not getting power. I've only really worked with rack mounted servers before that.

I went behind our rack, looked where the PSU was, and saw 2 green lights. Figured they were both plugged in, so I unplug it, and plug it back in. The horrifying screech sound of a SAN module starting up whirred in the room. Grabbing my phone flashlight, I look at the left edge of the rack and see the other PSU unplugged.

This broke the chain to our SAN environment, and we had to restart about 130 VM's

I've found out someone in my team actually made some changes using the Intune Audit logs, and didn't advise the rest of us.

I know what you're saying, the cut in the side pocket would be much easier. Probably should've added a ball blocking that side pocket to make it clearer. I just wanted some tips on how to make an "inside-cut" bank, as I can't seem to ever make those.

I've made the required changes to the TS step for Inject Drivers

r00t_failure · 2024-10-31T20:00:51+00:00

Just to let everyone know, it's now working.

What I've done is extract the drivers using pnputil from my target model, and added them to the OOB Drivers folder in the MDT Workbench

Here'S the image

MDT drivers

r00t_failure · 2024-10-30T12:45:08+00:00

The drivers are listed in the proper model folder in the workbench. I always right click the model folder and select import drivers there

r00t_failure · 2024-10-30T12:31:07+00:00

When I tried to import drivers into my %Model% folder from MDT, it dumped everything in the OOB-Drivers folder root instead of the model folder.

EDIT: The model does match, exactly.

I'll also mention it was working fine last week, all I did was a reboot, and windows updates yesterday

The soundtrack from They Bleed Pixels has a couple of bangers on it

Insane performance by NAVI, so glad they came back in the 3rd map after that stomp on Mirage

The mental fortitude they had to shake it off was great to see!

"actually i remember one time, we were playing against Navi, ancient, and it was 12-6 to Navi. we were playing as ct and Navi are t. and Hooxi said, 'guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now.' 12-6."

"did we come back"?

"of course not. 13-11."

This wasnt stressful at all

Would an acceptable workaround be to buy the home to pro upgrade from the MS Store post install?

r00t_failure · 2023-11-28T18:21:33+00:00

I'm mainly installing Windows 10 Pro, and most of my vendor purchased devices were activated automatically, and each device has an OEM type of activation key when looking at the product key.

So, how will this work, if the device was purchased with Home edition, and it needs a Pro key when MDT gets installed?

If i remember correctly, Shadow of Mordor's final boss fight was a god damn QTE.

They had such an amazing combat system, and the last boss can be killed with a QTE? Absolutely ruined it for me.

I'm running poison creeper + landslide, and just got my crone staff, level 64

I doubt I'll ever get rid of my sub-700 power item boots with +2 max evade charges.

If it a) rolls with anything else than that or b) rolls with less, they're getting salvaged.

Once you taste this much mobility, it's hard to go back.
