In what has to be a case of supreme irony I just started my first day in my new virtualization admin position (after leaving an Exchange admin position), so naturally my Outlook has to pick today to start messing up. Profile takes 20 minutes to load, then seconds after my profile loads Outlook stops responding. Restart application and it takes almost 2 hours to validate data integrity and load profile. Rinse and repeat all drat day. Tried blowing away the profile and closing organizational mailboxes, but they're all tied to my email account, so nothing changed. If poo poo is still acting up tomorrow I'll go talk to one of my former co-workers and see if they can remove the org box causing the problems. As another potential bit of good news my team lead for the new position revealed that I actually fall under the server farm portion of the contract, and only Messaging is going away. They will be maintaining a server farm presence - the only question is going to be who wins the contract and what they'll be paying us. Not that I doubt him, but I'm getting tired of the whip-saw motions going on, so until I have a contract in hand that's signed I'm going to file all of it under "Wishful Thinking" and plan to be on the street with everyone else come August 13.

Semi-happy that I was able to quickly diagnose a pretty basic issue. I mean, any idiot could've resolved it, but I at least have a vague understanding of the cause! A pseudo file server that a VIP uses for some reason, despite our perfectly good server infrastructure, wasn't resolving for some people that needed it. The file server was on one floor, those having problems were on another. I likewise couldn't resolve it when I tried to ping it from my computer. Flushed DNS, still didn't work. Went up to the guy that has it, and he was able to remote into it from his personal machine (sitting right beside the machine in question). I tried pinging it from his personal machine, and was successful, but noticed that it was getting a link-local IPv6 address. The different floors each have their own subnets, and IPv6 link-local addresses can't communicate outside of their own subnets, so I just told him to restart (I'm sure a ipconfig /renew would've worked, but we had a power outage earlier so, eh) and now it's working. Of course the ironic thing is that any IT idiot that was like "I dunno, just restart it" would've fixed the issue too, and maybe even faster.

Is your DNS server registering IPv6 addresses for things? How'd his computer get the file servers IPv6 address?

I don't know why: the other IT guy, who is totally incompetent and worse at his job than me, blames it being on a different subnet and wanted me to figure this out while he's gone.

I don't think link-local ipv6 addresses get stored in DNS so I'm not really sure how it was resolving. Something for me to figure out as a learning exercise I guess. I'm guessing it's via LLMNR but I don't really know enough about IPv6 (clearly). Japanese Dating Sim fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Jun 26, 2015 |

Why are you working for this company again? They literally made you pick up trash, and now you're metaphorically doing the same. Except this time if the trash randomly catches fire, you're on the hook for putting them out of business. Are you held there by family or a house you can't sell or something? Because if not, just get the gently caress out and never look back.

Anyone work for comcast or point me at the correct people? There's a family across the way who broke into the local green termination box (?) and snaked a line of coax out from it, across the back lawn, and into their house. I'm pretty sure they're stealing cable and they're a bunch of assholes so I'd like to get a tech to come out and deal with it. I tried to tell a local tech about it but he was just "hey man i'm just here to install cable over in that house" so maybe public shaming works better? I made an imgur album but I seriously don't know jack about coax or cable, I don't know what any of those numbers mean. http://imgur.com/a/nNhGg

Why do you care, let the ISP deal with it? Apparently Comcast is an evil terrible company in the USA so who really cares.

It wasn't me, but I have a story like that. I helped setup an media production system for a boat race. The client sent us a map of where they wanted to put the cameras around the lake. He sent us a word document with an embedded jpg that was a scan of a print out of a Google Maps screen shot that he wrote on by hand. It was amazing.

For a while at my parents' place, the underground cable line got broken, and comcast just ran the cable above ground for a few months until they coudl get someone to rebury it. Also if they really were just breaking in and attaching a cable, they wouldn't be able to pirate any cable using it, since these days almost all Comcast territories are using universally encrypted digital cable for SD and HD, so about the only thing they could get was temporary internet access with carefully hacked cable modems. So probably, not actually stealing cable.

One time a client was having really spotty connection issues and Cablevision came out to take a look and determined that something at the house across the street was causing really terrible feedback on the line and loving up the whole block. So he just climbed the pole and put a trap on the line. I asked if he was worried the neighbors would get mad when they came back and nothing worked (he left a note at their door, but you know how people are) and the dude just shrugged. Cablevision dudes are cool. My family also moved like a week before we had scheduled them to fully connect our service, but we found everything was wired and there was just a trap for the house, and the operator I called about it was like "Well you're not supposed to take that off but yeah, everything will work if you do."
