Well the way I use it with thunderbird+lightning and the google provider, I can create a task/event and it gets pushed up, and I can see it on my phone and all that. If that's what you mean.

My horror story regarding batteries is that we bought several tablets but then couldn't deploy them for a couple of months. Seems that the batteries didn't like not being charged so they all died and the cmos didn't like not being charged so it died.
A few months later the tablet maker upgraded their equipment (after we RMA'ed about 20) so that the cmos had a longer life then 1 hour if the battery was dead.

Speaking of old computers, who can help me with probably an easy batch file problem? I'm not sure exactly what to google to find the answer.
I have a list made like:
1. Start this server
2. stop this server
I want it so when I select 1 I go to another list, if I select 2 I go to a third list but how it works right now is that when a choice is made, say 1, it goes to the next list but it keeps that "1" selection so that list automatically selects option 1 again. Is there a way to clear that selection between script sections?
Clear the choice variable before you start printing the submenu?
I know that, but what the hell is the command to do that?

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
I'll take some powershell, but no metro, once you metro, you start losing flesh.
Yeah but bowen all the cool kids are using metro.

I would powershell but this is a very simple script just so the engineers can easily switch between their CAD licenses since we don't have floating licenses for some reason. It starts their license and stops their license.

Oy, if we didn't use a floating db/server for our Autodesk loadouts, I'd probably just go up to the roof and see how quickly I can reach the ground floor. My condolences.
It takes a special kind of person to be a phone tech. Most of the few I've met are more than a bit crazy.
And the crashing reminds me of this occasional issue we've had on our Avaya setup where a voicemail inbox fills up with voicemails (because the user never checks and deletes them) and upon the next voicemail check by that user, the phone switch for that site will crash immediately.
What poor phone system has the privilege to be abused by Bowen?

Pretty much exactly the same issue you had. Our general delivery mailbox filled up because the phone company didn't have it set to automatically delete them when our email server receives them. So, there's about 4000 since last june.

Ugh. "Can you fix our elearning software? You guys fixed it last time" . check ticket history - last fixed in 2001. Ughhh!!! Spend an hour reading INI files and trying to figure out something with no Documentation. Also got to run compact and repair database on an access mdb! Still not working. No idea how this thing works. No one even knows if this portion of the program has EVER worked. F*ck it.

For the most part I don't have to support the engineers but when I do it's a pain in the ass, this was easy enough though.

Patched and restarted both domain controllers on tuesday, and now NOTHING WORKS.
I couldn't authenticate with them at all, so I rolled back the patches and restarted, and now SMB authentication works, as does SQL server, but interactive logons don't. They'll get stuck applying group policy for a solid 20 minutes.
Shits fucked and I don't know why.
Can you turn off all of the linked group policy objects and then log in? Or create a new user in a new OU that has no group policy linked to it and log in with that. At least that way you will know if it is group policy that is screwed up or something else.
I think its DNS. I'm not sure exactly what, and a 4 hour support session with an MS tech didn't yield any answers either.
I get an "unable to resolve computer name" when attempting to update group policy. On one computer I can update computer policy but not user policy, on another its the other way round.
I can resolve the addresses of the domain controllers, I can access shares on them, I can log in to domain accounts, it just takes AGES. It also takes a long time for a non domain account to access a share on a domain system, but on when accessing it by hostname, not via IP, which is weird.
Blows my mind how bad everyone else is at GPO here.
Got me thinking it would be fun to spin up a PA sysadmin competition server and environment with red vs blue teams... Take turns screwing things up and fixing them and reporting back to the thread. Leaderboards and points.... Hmmmm! I might set this up!
Edit: Can the domain controller resolve their own names to IP addresses?
yes.
the servers affected by the issues can also resolve their own names, the names of the domain controllers and the names of other servers in the network fine.
Wait, so am I the only person in here who is also responsible for the phone systems? Fucking anything that plugs into something else is my responsibility. Our recently-replaced Nortel system was definitely one of those crazy ones that at some point in the future, I could see being paid a lot of money to work on. I had memorized most of the codes and menus and could practically do them blindfolded. The new VoIP system is a massive upgrade, but there are a whole lot of things to learn and relearn now.
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.

You know this would really just be a "who's best at googling" competition.

My big problem is that my job involves such a wide variety of technologies that I've learned things as the problems arrived. Just like bowen said, Google is one hell of a helper. I've never been formally trained on how to manage Exchange, but the years of using multiple versions have made me pretty decent at it. Yeah, there is a shit ton I don't know, but I know a good amount. As for GPOs, I understand the concept and have done a little bit, but I've never been presented with the opportunity to do much with them, which kind of sucks.

I've found understanding the basics makes it pretty easy.
I know how to run and terminate wires, I can figure out routing and port forwarding.
25 some odd years of fucking around with a computer makes you pretty good at having a basic idea what's wrong too.
But if you use your PC more like a vehicle than a hobby then there might be issues.

No. I manage a slew of avaya setups and an Asterisk. And a few undocumented VLANs.
I've found that if it isn't made out of air, I am responsible for it.
This goes double if it's powered by electricity.
Honestly? This feels like a form of sexism, but I wouldn't dare utter those words anywhere else but here.

The "anything that plugs in" is pretty accurate for us as well. We run the Cisco phones and voicemail system, though the majority of the work falls on other people in my department.
