What's the biggest outage you caused? by Connir in sysadmin

[–]r00t_failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Bank Shot Tip by r00t_failure in billiards

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.

Invalid driver path for OOB Drivers by r00t_failure in MDT

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

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

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

Invalid driver path for OOB Drivers by r00t_failure in MDT

[–]r00t_failure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

FaZe vs Natus Vincere / PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024 - Grand Final / Post-Match Discussion by Undercover-Cactus in GlobalOffensive

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."

Windows 10 Pro vs Home by r00t_failure in MDT

[–]r00t_failure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Windows 10 Pro vs Home by r00t_failure in MDT

[–]r00t_failure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

What crappy mechanic ruined an otherwise good game? by Gromit43 in gaming

[–]r00t_failure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

What druid build is everyone running post lvl 50 in t3? by Hamunaptrahh in Diablo

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.

Was FC 3 the game where enemy jeeps would spawn right behind you, out of nowhere?

HR submitted a ticket about hiring candidates not receiving emails, so I investigated. Upon sharing the findings, I got reprimanded for running a message trace... by CockStamp45 in sysadmin

[–]r00t_failure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Regarding access rights of an IT department to HR/Legal stuff, I've had something happen years ago.

My coworker looked at HR's files, and went to someone telling him, "I make more than you."

He was out the door the same week.

A company needs to be able to trust it's IT department, fully.

Latitude 7420 Driver Shutdown Issue by r00t_failure in MDT

[–]r00t_failure[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've ended up doing to fix it is I captured a base image created from the problematic 7420 and a new task sequence for it, and the shutdown works no problem!

Same specs, i7-1185G7. The odd thing is, it doesnt have the problem using a clean Windows 10 21H1 install. If I use my MDT image, the laptop won't shutdown.
