"PowerShell privileges" ain't a thing unless your company does user-based application whitelisting or something. The execution policy might be locked down, but that won't stop you from typing things into a PS command line and running them. If you have read privileges to the file system you're trying to run a report on, you can run a PS get-childitem. That said, 'get-childitem c:\ -recurse | out-file whatever.txt' is going to get you the same garbage as 'cmd /s > whatever.txt'. If you want the data structured at all an export-csv is more likely to be helpful.

If you can see the share, you could run the PowerShell console from your workstation. The commands aren't anything more than what you can get from browsing to the share with Explorer. PowerShell doesn't care if your path is a network location or not. Hell, you can use the registry and Active Directory as your location for running commands. "CD \\server\share\directory\" is perfectly valid in PowerShell. This is all stuff you CAN do, of course. Not that you necessarily should, if there's policies in place to prevent it. (learn powershell because it's loving awesome)

Wilford Cutlery posted:I have no idea what all of that means. Her old and new phones are AT&T phones, neither are VoIP phones. She just needs a phone she can use to work from home with those features I mentioned, so long as it has a blinking light to indicate new voicemail in her Xfinity Voice mailbox. Doesn't have to be a VoIP phone, but if that's what it takes to get that feature then so be it. The cheap Uniden standard-POTS wireless phones my parents have work with Xfinitiy Voice and blink their lights when there's a voicemail message. I'm not sure of the exact model other than they got them about 5 years ago. I'm pretty sure the signaling Comcast uses on their home phone service is standard, so any phone that will be able to detect there's voicemail waiting should do.

Just got publicly lambasted by the director in front of STUDENTS because the Chromebooks my predecessor invested in apparently don't support Office365 and I should have somehow divined that this was an issue even though it's been over six months and this is the first time anyone has complained about it. Really glad he decided to crawl my rear end about this on the last day of classes.

I hear Divination is in the next ChromeOS release. It'll just know what software you need. But really I hate when management (or clients) blame you for something you had literally no control over. Yes let me hop in my time machine and slap my predecessor around a little bit to make sure he does the right thing.

Pull up the documented requirements - the ones that didn't include Office365 support - that would have had to go through this director's approval? e: Lack thereof makes your point as well. Don't rub it in his face, just explain how it would prevent that situation and suggest doing that for all major decisions going forward.

A call came in: "I'm trying to use my search program and I'm getting a pop-up to upgrade to Windows 10 and it won't go away!" Hop on his computer, expecting to see a scheduled upgrade notification screen that I'll then have to spend the next half an hour dealing with in order to stop the installation. Instead, I see Internet Explorer, opened to msn.com, with a banner across the top of the page advertising Windows 10. It's positioned directly on top of the MSN search bar. Clicking the X on the banner does nothing. "Welp, looks like you'll just have to use Google. Let me know if you need anything else." Closing the banner works in Chrome and FireFox just fine, though why would you go to msn.com in either of those browsers?

So I have the misfortune of being the lowliest of tech workers: the retail schlub. Customer brought a computer in today, just wanted an upgrade to Windows 10. Super easy. Grabbed one of the flash drives we have that have the upgrade on it. Make sure its the correct drive. The retail demo drives are all marked Demo. Drive is unmarked. Pop drive in, start upgrade. Finish upgrade, reboot annnnnnnnd gently caress. gently caress. gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress gently caress. Someone left an unmarked retail demo copy of Windows 10 in our bin of drives. Now we get to pull the drive, and try to run a data recovery program to see if we can manage to get their files. God dammit.

The dumb poo poo never stops. This afternoon I was listening to one of my coworkers troubleshoot a modem with a tech. He asked the tech what his modem's IP address was, then was confused when it didn't match what he was looking at. He was looking at the router's management IP. This man is five years my senior.

So I have had a ticket recently on helping a sysadmin. He had just come into the company, taking over for someone else. THere was absolutely no hardware monitoring going on on the server. He had limits on what he was allowed to do by policy, but ended up getting in the command line tool for the RAID controller. He found he had 4 HDDs offline on a 6 disk RAID 10 with a hotspare. System was still up and chugging along. After helping him diagnose what happened: it was the luckiest set of drive failures that could have possibly happened. In a 10 month period: the middle span had a drive fail, then it rebuilt onto the hot spare. Then the first span had a drive fail. The the middle span had the other original HDD fail leaving the rebuilt drive. Then the final span had a drive fail. We replaced the drives and the rebuild went well. I hope this situation is an illustration to his management of the need for better monitoring tools (probably not).
