obviously the generator was moved during the weekend
Was the generator moved to create more filing space?
They said we're not complying with data retention policies, so we needed more space. It makes perfect sense. Where else are we supposed to fit 5 terabytes?! Do you even know how much that is, cause I fucking don't!
While I agree that being insensitive is an issue, so is being oversensitive.
Damnit. This is almost as bad as that time I wanted to find a place that did cheap massages near my work, so I googled "chinatown massage parlor" and received a bunch of responses for things I was definitely not looking for.

That was what every search result showed... and I was at work when it happened. Alt+F4 always works except when you need it to the most.
I feel like this is where the overly suave IT guy needs to be resurfaced...

So, real specific and sorta sysadmin question -- anybody know if there are issues with BITS transfers and managed service accounts. I've got a windows jenkins slave set up on a managed service account and it's running a powershell script that uses BITS transfers and I get this back when it runs through jenkins: "Start-BitsTransfer : Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
Running the exact same script from the command line like c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\myscript.ps1
seems to work just fine when I sign in as myself and run it -- this is the same action jenkins is doing (as best I can tell) but under the managed service account.
Worst case scenario I just have to re-write it with webrequests or something, I just wanted to see if anybody knew if this was definitely some kind of issue with the account.

Oh, now we're getting somewhere
are you able to show me the whole script?
There's some variable it can't load methinks
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

@TehSloth the first thing I'd do with that is create a debug version of that script, and add a line in before the Start-BitsTransfer where it echoes any variables in the Start-BitsTransfer arguments out to a log file.
One of them has to be null or some wrong value. Either that or your service account doesn't have access to the things you're trying to touch.

I'm most excited about Bash on Windows because I can just grep things instead of having to fumble through remembering what order to put findstr flags in.
Also, my coworker was 12th in line waiting for dell support over the last 45 minutes.
Him: "Just take over, I have to go"
Me: "It's awfully trusting of you to leave your laptop here and expect to not have your background changed"
Him: "I'm taking my laptop with me, i'll send you the service info"
I'm 20th in line after 20 minutes :rotate:

I felt good about today. I dug into a vendor's product that is running Tomcat, and a pretty vanilla instance, and got it so that I could do some port redirection, locking down the management console, changing the favicon, and overall setting up the environment to be more secure and robust than the vendor is used to... all without violating support contracts and such.
Now I just need to actually write down my ideal management stack. Our configuration management database isn't really being.. cared about by anyone, meaning we aren't properly automatically collecting our CI's. I just learned that our DNS guy tracks DNS changes by hand (he showed interest in git) as he doesn't trust our ticketing system. And in general.. I feel like we can't get an honest grasp of what our systems look like.
Unfortunately Splunk is likely out of our league. I want to play around with ELK...
User has lot of duplicate rules which was occupying lot of space & giving error.
tried changing the rules
but it was lot of rules.

I'd actually honestly rather see that than see someone lie about how they couldn't fix it or were still looking into it or that it couldn't actually be fixed.
Remote user, having him do a BIOS update. Bitlocker pops. Go into AD to get the key. None are stored.
Shit.

We don't save them anywhere else, because they're supposed to be saved to AD.

My only hope is (once I get the laptop) downgrading the BIOS version back to what it was and maybe it'll shut up
but I think that once TPM trips, it's tripped. :bigfrown:

I have to ask though. What in the world was the problem, where the solution was trying to walk a user through updating the BIOS? Especially on a machine with TPM/bitlocker...

You're crazy, vowels! Crazy, I say!
their USB was being flaky
it doesn't usually fix anything but it's flashy and usually shuts them up for a while

can someone just give me ssh access into their quantum computer for a few hours
I'm sure I can brute-force it

Chances are it's borked. W/r/to BitLocker or FDE or any drive/partition encryption, you'll want to suspend or deactivate it before BIOS updates. Hindsight, 20/20, etc.
Would be interested in knowing if a BIOS rollback works though.

Honest ticket.
"I really just don't feel like dealing with this."
"Eh, it's 4:30 and I don't want to hang around so I just bounced it back with needs more info and I'll deal with it tomorrow."
Before we changed our ticketing system here, we did have a "Won't Fix" status.

Ticket resolved. USB problem fixed.
You'll need to file a new ticket for any other issues. Sorry.
