I've looked at the microsoft doc and basically what everything seems to boil down to is: 1) Don't start migrating if you are having replication issues 2) Make sure everything syncs up at each step before proceeding 3) Make sure replication isn't hosed afterwards 4) Don't proceed if you have replication issues at any point 5) Refer to #1 again MF_James fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Feb 19, 2019 |

A shared office playlist would be trolled into oblivion in my workplace. My boss is That Guy who will drop $25 on a bar jukebox to play the same awful song for 2 hours straight. The experiment would be over before lunchtime.

We have clients in the studio pretty frequently so we did get a stern talking to after I threatened to put some Peaches on there. We are a v hip long lived design company.

Thankfully the clients I'm working with (currently...) don't have stuff that old. I've just never had to do it before because FRS still works until some update for 2016, so the clients we had coming from 2003 we didn't have to migrate and the ones that were brought up in 2008-2012r2 came up on DFSR.

Would not be able to cope in an open plan office with a communal playlist running all day, sorry. If you can work with stuff constantly going on around you then great, but not everybody can. Somebody in our office today was coughing every minute or so and it took all my strength to not get up and tell them to go the gently caress home. I wonder if studies have been done to show the savings from going open-plan vs. the lost productivity due to people being constantly distracted. Assuming it's even possible to put a figure on it.

I've looked at the microsoft doc and basically what everything seems to boil down to is: Pretty much it. Just be very patient and don't try to hurry anything along by touching each DC. You can turn the AD recycle bin on as well if the domains are old enough that it wasn't originally enabled. Thanks Ants fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Feb 19, 2019 |

My current place has the worst open office ever. Half a day wfh is more productive than 2 days in the office. It’s 21 people and only 16 desks. There’s usually another 3-4 people hanging around discussing stuff. Daily standups result in the scrum master asking everyone else to be quiet for 15 minutes because it’s noisey you just can’t hear what the people standing 3ft away from you are saying. When not talking to colleagues I wear a over ear headphone and the volume needs to be pretty high to block out the noise. Working inside a DC is probably more quiet than this.

We do open office plans here pretty extensively. However, we're not idiots, there are a ton of breakout rooms sized for 1 or 2 people. Need to put your head down and pound out some work ? Grab a breakout room. Call on speakerphone ? Grab a room. Need to huddle up ? Plenty of conference rooms with easy reservations and integrated Google Meet screens. The actual open space desks are height-adjustable and have either 2x24" displays or 1x36" curved screens. Between that and generous WFH policies our OO spaces are as good as they get.

Our new floors are similar except for the unassigned seating and oversubscribed space. The only major issue is the queue for the Starbucks machine at all times of the day.

they should like, create these little mini-rooms in office spaces instead, like walls that are high enough to block noise and give you a little privacy, but you can still peer over them or walk around, and they don't have doors. Your mechanical keyboard, ergonomic mouse + preferred monitor configuration could just stay in this square space permanently along with a little filing cabinet. You could actually store poo poo in the cabinet. you could put a whiteboard on one of the noise & movement blocking walls, or a photo of your cat/"girlfriend". You could also keep your chair in this space, so it doesn't need constant readjustment or swapping out because that gross guy got weird white stains on the seat. they should do that.

We have close to 50ish employees doing an open office thing with execs/pms getting offices ostensibly because they have to use their phones. I haven't particularly noticed the sound level being all that high all things considered. Although I kinda wanna chock it up to a noise cancelling system that we got installed that is a closely guarded secret known only to the three IT staff, the contractors, and the CEO, because apparently if you tell people about it people start getting all weird about it. Which is fair, because I know about it and I'm trying to figure out if its confirmation bias or not that I think it may be working.

I'd way rather work in a datacenter than a cacophonous open office. Its way easier to block out white fan noise with a pair of earplugs and headphones than voices. Also the temperature is *italian chef kissing fingers*

We have a remodel coming that keeps getting pushed back. The most recent time is because a VP saw what desk he was getting and threw a fit. They're trying to put everyone, including executives, in half-height wall cube clusters.

My favorite are the open office environments that are so religious about silence that nobody talks in them, essentially making it a big coworking space for everyone to drive an hour to so they can work remote

But at the same time overly loud open offices are sheer hell, there's just no winning when it comes to it. Ours is fairly tame but each floor has a mini open kitchen which usually get commandeered by crowds of people having a chat, gets annoying when I just want to get in/out for a cup of tea or coffee.

Tetramin posted:Today was the loudest day for a while, lots of outages and stuff, but the cube to my right had a manager and my coworker on a conference call(speaker phone), that another manager and coworker were speaker calling into 2 cubes to my left(like both of these cubes had a manager listening and speaking into the call over the cube residents shoulder),and my direct boss in his office across the room was also using speaker on the same call. It was loving surreal I once worked in an office that had sound cancelling speakers mounted in the ceiling throughout the floor. It was weird that I never noticed them but I also noticed that sound just did not carry. There were no echoes at all and the floor was quite civilized. Do people not use them anymore?

I'm looking at this bundle in particular: https://josephdelgadillo.com/product/linux-course-bundle/ What do you want to achieve exactly? You will not become an admin by following a (few) course(s). It’s mostly just practise and doing it. I usually recommend prepping for and taking the RHCSA exam to get a decent base level of knowledge. Since it’s a hands on exam it’ll force you to practise stuff until you know it by heart (or look things up in man quick enough). Preparing for it can be done in many ways. I don’t know the exact course you linked but udemy is usually quite ok. As for other options, the books of Jang and van Vugt get mentioned as a way to prep for the exams.

Our Print Modernization project is almost done! Papercut is neat, central print queues are neat, and not having to deal with 900 print queues is neat. Know what's not neat? Our overly enthusiastic PFY. This was his project because he's the only non burnout in the company willing to take on printers. And the way he goes on about it you'd think the loving things were dispensing blowjobs and forgiving sins. Good God Almighty if I have to hear an unprompted evangelical session about glorious Konica Minolta one more time I'm liable to scream and never stop. There's seriously not enough caffeine and amphetamines in the world to keep me awake today I swear to GOD there will be a reckoning if I hear about paper weight or stapling capacity or pages per minute again.

Yes, when I worked at $JOB-1 it was installed on every floor (they're really white noise generators that adjust based on the ambient noise). One day they didn't switch on in the AM and EVERYBODY WAS SO LOUD AND THE ENTIRE FLOOR WAS LIKE A BIG AMPLIFYING ECHO CHAMBER. That was the day everyone was sold on the system. It had worked so well, it was completely unnoticeable until it stopped working.
