Okay so I've got the old registry loaded into a test hive, I dumped it, and I edited the registry file (to remove the test hive stuff) but now it won't load the registry's stuff into the registry after the change.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
I swear I've ran into that problem before, but it was years ago and I don't remember what I did. Is it not loading at all, or is it loading the changes but they're not persisting?
Peanut Butter utterly failed at a Cisco switch installation at a branch office.
It turns out I forgot a critical static route in the switch config. Oops.
On one hand, my bad.
On other hand, Peanut Butter should have been capable of finding my mistake and fixing it onsite. I can't continue to be literally the only person in our IT department who understands basic TCP/IP concepts.
I'm tired of having to explain to supposed IT professionals what a subnet mask is.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Whelp, I went to show a client how to connect to his new server that I set up in our datacenter, only to find out that the network team didn't set up the vpn tunnel from their site to said datacenter.

You know what would be great? Getting a bit of recognition for actual hard problems, instead of getting cheered for basic-ass quick fixes.
Replace a burned out light bulb? Everybody loves you.
Replace all of the light bulbs in the building with energy efficient LEDs? Nobody notices except the one lady who complains that the new lights are "too bright."

They sold 12 TB of storage for a client's video security system in our datacenter. We didn't actually have 12 TB of storage at the time.
I brought that fact up while I was spinning up the VM. Sent out emails. Everyone else sat on it. The storage I was able to provision got devoured, and started overwriting itself. Hope nothing illegal happened on their property that they need to pull the video for!

Sales, man.
One of our salesmen talked up Backup Exec 16 to a customer and sold him on it, then only ordered the agent key and not the actual software key.

"Take our large 40 person call center from broadcast to round robin."
ok. done
"This is great, but we want them all to have the ability to pick up."
You mean like a broadcast ring from before?
"No NOOOO. like a round robin that we all can pick up, and are all alerted to."
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills

How I did it with Switchvox:
1. Made a directed pickup extension, added it to everyone's contact list. All it does is let you pick up the call queue.
2. Add the queue's extension # to everyone's contact list.
You can still have Round Robin, but now when the queue is ringing, they'll all see it on their phones. And when they want to pick it up, they just push 2 buttons, first the pickup extension, and then the queue's extension.
I thought/think it was/is silly too. But they're happy with it.
But I feel like there hasn't been any good backup software ever.
None of them are simple, none of them just work. I don't need a fancy archive system, just put it in a fucking zip file for christ's sake, that makes it easy to verify it's working without having to go 8 steps into a restore procedure in your software just to verify it.
It seems so simple. You just need to hash files to verify their validity.

I've only spent a couple hundred hours on the phone walking users through this shit.
I could do it in my sleep.
I could probably re-program ADMT from intuition I've used the dang thing so much.

Yes, please zip up these 3 million files into a 1.2TB zip file. And while you're there, can you restore the copy from Tuesday? Because I deleted the file on Wednesday... Actually, you know what, I deleted the entire folder, so make sure you fix the security.
I mean, for very small business, yeah, you can do some homegrown stuff. At a previous job, I backed up our Linux server for free to a clone with all security and incrementals using a thing that sat on top of rsync. But for this job, we'll pay whatever it costs to get EMC Networker to play well with all of our servers and services. Networker has problems, but once it works, it's pretty nice.

Cisco - its just making a call pickup group, assigning it to the hunt. Assign a button to the users phone for call pickup and turn on call pickup audible alerting. If its ringing without your personal line blinking, its technically not your turn.
Close enough.

Nothing outlandish about that. The archives that backexec uses just play off things like tarballs and gzip. It's old technology. Very old. Where they shine is cataloging. But because they're using a proprietary modification to tarbell and zip, you can't even access the internals without their software usually. To me that's bad.
There's no reason a zip file can't be 1.2TB or hold 3 million files. You obviously wouldn't want to open that in memory, but you don't need to to extract files from it. Zip files have a header system that you can get the file's information and contents without loading the entire god damned thing into memory. Windows' zip stuff is garbage and basically barfs at very large zip files, but you shouldn't use windows' zip stuff for that anyways.
Zip files borrow a lot of mechanisms from hard drives and file systems. You have FATs and blocks, and all that fun, fun stuff. You can absolutely make dealing with TB sized zip files fairly fast, and, well, better than using a file that can only be opened by backupexec 14.3.5.23

The MIP100 is a network card that has two subslots into which you put modules depending on what kind of ports you need.
The documentation is very clear that it only has two subslots.
This includes the fact that the hardware itself has the slots numbered as 0 and 1 on the card.
The documentation then proceeds to display examples with modules inserted into subslots 0, 1 and 2 with no explanation as to why or where the number 2 came from.

I don't know why I'd ever need to dig into the files themselves when I'm paying for support, but then I've never used BackupExec. (My boss tried to get me to look at it once for cost saving reasons, but nah.) Networker works fine for my uses.
