I think there was a vb script to which allowed you to skip the accept/decline bit of windows remote assistance tool posted in this thread. Don't suppose anyone has a copy of it as we've finally moved away from having 1 bomgar licence for the entire desk.

As a peon working first line support, I've been asked to setup a Nagios server to monitor the 12 new MFP that are being installed this week. This isn't a problem as this will make our lives easier rather than having to run round checking paper trays every hour or so but now that the management have seen it they want me to get it configure it to replace the IP Sentry system we have. Whats the best way to point out that I'm capable of doing it but its way outside my job description and pay grade?

Well Monday morning is going to be fun. We've got 6 shiny new giant printers installed so now we get to visit every office and convince the academics that removing their printers is not an unreasonable thing to do.

I hate enrolment, 400 ID cards printed so far today. Yes your picture looks like shite, no I won't take it again. You've had all summer to send us a nice one and to be honest who the gently caress cares.

I've spent all day running round the building re-adding the networked printers to out student machines. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it apart it being guaranteed to happen as soon as I put the kettle on

Potato Alley posted:No real suggestions on OS - there's always OpenFiler and FreeNAS if you just want to have a real appliance type NAS experience. Or go ZFS on BSD/Linux for that sweet pooling action (needs lots of RAM though). Dont go openfiler unless you really know your poo poo. I had the network manager pounce on me as soon as I entered the building as he'd tried updating and something had gone tits up.

One of our openfiler boxes just went down and seemingly nobody has a clue why or how to fix it. So glad I decided to check my mail despite having the day off.

A wild YOTJ appeared. Just had a recruiter cold call me about a legit vacancy that I've seen advertised elsewhere. It matches my skills and has an acceptable increase in salary.

Oh well at least I know I'm not.in a pop. Our finance guy has decided that he's not going to order anything I've asked for including kit for all the new starters unless I can give him a complete list of licence we own vs what's actually installed. By Monday. Lunchtime And of course the licences are stored in various peoples mailboxes. Is there nice quick way to get a list of what's installed of each pc/mac remotely?
