CLAM DOWN posted:Do you work with me? There's this old guy down the hall who refuses to use PowerShell because "what's the point, I can just make a batch file" I got asked to rewrite a bunch of fairly complicated PowerShell scripts in batch, just in case we run into a server 2003 server. Thankfully at least two other engineers immediately spoke up and shot that idea down.

The Powershell solution was a single line, the cmd one was several steps, it seems like a pretty clear point in favor of Powershell there.

Your batch script is a single line as well if you really cared that much.  I personally don't care to change a basic script unless there is a reason to do it.

Given the push from MS towards powershell for everything it seems wise to learn the way that isn't likely to be deprecated in a future release, and to build your scripts with that in mind.

Use powershell for everything, change your color scheme to monochrome green on black so everyone thinks you're an expert hacker.

Sheep posted:Old heads in the thread have probably actually done this before, I know I have - lots of MUDs and mtrek while waiting for things to finish back in the day. Story time! Years ago, when I was in the Navy, I was on a ship and my work location was a fairly isolated room on the ship, a gyroscope room that you had to climb down a 30 foot ladder to reach. I'd sit at a desk and keep an eye on my email while playing Dwarf Fortress on my laptop. A few other people in my division realized what a great isolated location it was, so when they had free time, they set up a standalone World of Warcraft Vanilla server and they'd play. No big deal to me, they were pretty quiet and since they were off duty, it wasn't like they had work to be doing. This was fine until one day, one of the WoW group claimed he was sick and was placed in SiQ (Sick in Quarter) status. The idea behind that is that if you're so sick that you can't work, you need to be in bed, getting out only to eat, shower and poo poo. Instead, he came down and started playing WoW with everyone. Someone in this guy's division must have thought something was up, because the ship's Master at Arms (Ship Police) got sent to check on him, he wasn't in bed, and wasn't eating. He eventually found out about the hangout spot in the Gyro room and quietly snuck in. I remember him walking around the room, seeing all the screens with stuff like this:  Then he gets to my desk and sees this:  He stared at it for a good minute, shrugged, and then escorted everyone else out for disciplinary action. He wasn't sure what it was, but he was 100% sure it wasn't a game.

What job search sites are people having luck on? I have my resume up on linkedin, monster.com, and I think careerbuilder and I seem to only get calls from recruiters looking for some weird position on the other side of the country or bulk-emails. Also, there's so much trash on job search sites it's crazy.

I'm not job searching anymore but I constantly get "Windows Image Builder, Dallas, 6Mo contract" emails and calls from Indians when I'm on the east coast and I'm a UNIX admin. Indeed.com is pretty good, but job searching these days is just super tough.

Is there anything out there that competes with Graphviz in the automatic diagramming space? We have a server inventory now that maps servers to applications. I have a spreadsheet that augments that with data about what function each server has within the application. In my head I can envision having a modest about of metadata stored somewhere to describe how data flows between functions, and then dumping it all out to create graphs showing application or multi-application architecture. I'm at a point where I want to build something small and demo it to try to gain some traction. I'm hoping there's something out there that works sort of like Graphviz but generates output that looks more like Visio.

Anyone know of a service that would transcribe voicemail into text, then email that to a per-determined email address or distribution list? In the event of an emergency, we're looking to have a phone number the person at the site could call for a quick, verbal run-down of the situation, and have that transcribed and texted to a certain group of people. We have verizon, so sending SMS by email works fine. Our phone system is an ancient piece of poo poo, not sure if newer systems do voicemail transcribing or not. This could be nice for a ticketing system as well.

Dice and Monster get me the most cold calls/emails, Indeed gets me the best results for actively searching. 90% of the calls I get are terrible (3 mo contract halfway across the country? Sign me the gently caress up!) but every so often it's a local recruiting firm I do want to work with.

I get to stay late tonight to try and swap out a dying UC. I certainly wouldn't call myself a Cisco VoiP expert but it shouldn't be so bad. However, knowing my luck the voicemail backups are going to poo poo the bed, not push properly, and half blow up the config on import. So we shall see.

Is it possible to connect two networks with the same IP ranges? For example the Main Office with 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 at the DR Site but with a VPN or MPLS Circuit. I'm told you're able too but how anything get routed?

In all seriousness I'd add Craigslist to the job search list, too. Especially at the entry to lower-mid level. There's a bunch of crap on there but no more than other "real" job sites. It's just a different sort of crap  I may be biased, though, since a few jobs back I landed a 50% pay increase and tons of resume-boosting experience by responding to a Craigslist sysadmin posting. It's a decent resource, particularly if you aren't in a major city or want to include small companies who are interesting but don't have strong recruiting chops in your search.

There's lots of ways to do this--EoMPLS, VPLS, L2TPv3, etc.--but what you do depends on what your WAN and the rest of your enterprise looks like, what the use case for it is, stuff like that.

I'm not sure what you mean by "bridge a layer 2 network" or "have two disjointed networks in the same routed area using the same IP Addresses." Going forward, I have my Corporate HQ with 192.168.1.0/24 and my DR Site has 192.168.1.0/24 but for my initial replication I need to connect the two as I have a bunch of annoying legacy apps with hardcoded IPs.

Tab8715 posted:I'm not sure what you mean by "bridge a layer 2 network" or "have two disjointed networks in the same routed area using the same IP Addresses." So you want a VM to be able to live at either site and keeps its same IP? That would be bridging. In some multi-tenancy situations you might want to have the same IP active in different subnetwork segments on the same network, and that would require NAT.

If you own both of these subnets, you want to just change your range at one site. I promise it will be less painful. Yea, this, phrased better than I did.

Probably  'ing this week - sadly probably to another recruiting firm. Need a change of scenery and there is a smaller agency that's making a lucrative offer. Ideally I wanted to get back closer to technology - either in a product manager-type role or in a technical support manager position - but 5 years out of hands-on is cramping my marketability. I interviewed for a support lead/account manager with a healthcare startup, but I don't have a ton of industry knowledge that would really help there nor am I strong in database support so I may not get an offer there. Will probably still look passively even with the new gig.
