Then of course, I have to say "So, that part where you said 'blah blah blah', what does it say?" That's really an issue with every computer user in the world, they'll happily acknowledge that there was an error message but none of them actually read or try to understand the message.

 5/3 - "Users email takes about 1 minute to open a mail" *ignores it, have more urgent things to do* 13/3 - "can you speed this up?" Calls user, gets his password after a long time of "uhm... now what was it again.. i've only used it once, my computer's always on".. Password doesn't work, calls and ask him, gets password like user gave me but with "-" and UPPER lower -case, still doesn't work. Resets users password, remotes into computer. Hmm.. Antivirus hasn't updated since february, runs liveupdate, system says "not enough space on harddrive".start, run, cmd, dir. 250 671 104 byte free.(that's less than 250mb free on c:). Hmm.. start, run, cmd, systeminfo code:Computer is an IBM p4 2ghz something, 52mb ram, 20gb hdd divided into two partitions, one hardly used, one with a 6gb windows-xp folder. Looking around i found that his Temporary Internet Files and the windows\$uninstallsp2\ folders were both larger than the free space on the harddrive. Looking at the reported problem, "emails taking 1 minute to open" revealed that it was only emails with attachments that were slow to open, i guess it's symantec antivirus that checks them. I didn't get much longer into my investigation before the client kicked me out. Called him up and told him to reboot the computer. I just cannot understand how anyone can put business-critical programs on a client computer, requiring it to be on 24/7 instead of on a server that's 1) More powerful, this program wouldn't even make a dent in the server's hardware 2) Online 24/7, running on UPS and built to be online 24/7 3) Has a backup each night. i want to bite whoever set this poo poo up four years ago ps this is the same business that has one of their salespeople using an old IBM R40 or something like that (undockable), 1ghz celeron with 1 gig ram. Originally came with xp home, some previous manager bought it as a private computer and then took it with him to the company. Laptop first showed up in our records back in 2005 and was then called "xx's old computer", was reinstalled and upgraded memory for a salesman. The current user is the 3rd or 4th owner and he alone sold more than $100k in one week last year, that was a record for this company, still he cannot get a usable computer. He's also the only one of the salesforce who brings his computer everywhere, requiring him to unplug three usb, one vga and one _paralell printer port_ cable each time he leaves the office.

The best way would be to eliminate the users alltogether, the same bot could help with that. Last friday one of our users called and said they'd be pulling the power in five minutes, if that was ok with us. Somehow they'd "forgotten" to tell us about this planned upgrade of the elecrical equipment. we told them no. eventhough calling at 14:00 friday afternoon the day before the swedish nationalday (which ment we only worked to 13:00) would be an excellent point for them to see just how important their ups-upgrade was.. good luck getting the ad to start after a sudden loss of power, aswell as the exchange database and their filemaker db.

Space Gopher posted:People don't realize they're saving files there until it's too late. They download a file with "open" rather than "save as", or double-click something in their email client, or whatever, and it opens from the temp directory. They work on it for a while, and trust that because they hit "save" regularly, it's safe and sound. They never even see that it's in a directory called "temp". Sure you'll eventually spread viruses by moving media between computers unless you have them setup to just restore a ghost everytime someone logs on, and you'll have users who drop/lose their cards but have the files encrypted and add some sort of function to backup the information at each logon (4gb, or even 1 would be enough for most users and that doesn't take long to move to a network backup-station?) **edit what i mean is that you *NEED* your usbdrive to unlock or login to the computer, and when you do that drive is also set to default save for everything.

well those drat wireless-switches, why not put them somewhere more obscure, like under the battery or inside the plastic casing of the monitor?

He couldn't connect to it and when he came to the office he couldn't connect to the one there either. Turns out he'd accidently flipped that switch, he didn't even know it was there.

Customer needs new computer for home use. Only thing customer wants is XP and it "has" to have a built-in 3g-adapter. Boss sells him a "cheap" lenovo, R500. Because it says it's "wlan-prepared". oh wait what? no sim-card reader, not even a slot for it? no 3g-card in it? well we'll just order another lenovo, a T500 this time. But let's not get the one that's already wired with a 3g-adapter, let's get one that is "prepared for wwan". T500 comes in today with a loose 3g-card next to it, i open the laptop and prepare to screw in the 3g-card. Except there's no wires for the antenna/power to the card and there's also no sim-card reader. Excellent. Just look at the instructions, how the f'ck is this complete instructions on how to hook up the 3g-adapter, the sim-card holder and the antenna for a T500? http://lenovo.com/support/wwanready/ (the previous T500 we sold had a 3g-adapter that crashed a few months later, the laptop refused to boot because "unauthorized wan adapter detected", couldn't even get into bios. Lenovo support said it was ok for me to unscrew the broken adapter from behind the keyboard)..

Last week i even got a couple of "hey you put this job as completed and charged it for 30 minutes, is it completed? how about this other completed job, is it completed? Oh and about this third job, you've set it as completed but is it completed?". He then went on bitching how i only charged for 30 minutes (i upgraded Symantec Endpoint Protection (both manager and client-files which are deployed automatically), which takes less than 10 minutes to actually do if you've ever done it before. also the biggest customer we have has like 20 workstations so it's not like i have to watch 10.000 installations). We charge $62 /30 minutes for our work. He thought i should have charged an hour or more since "if you spend $3000 to learn a certain program you have to be able to be able to charge the customers for your competense, even if it just takes 30 minutes the fifteenth time you do it". Since i started here 2½ years ago there has been ZERO money spent on education and/or equipment for us. There has been no spending on money on our office at all. Whatever we learn we learn by googling, reading "install.pdf" or just guessing. Trial & error is our motto. So far this year i've raked in $41.000 to our company. He's made us $22.000. That's because he can spend 1½ hour installing a HP 1022n lowgrade network printer on three computers. Last year i made him close to $50.000, at a total cost for him (employmenttaxes, healthcare, pensions and stuff like that) of _$0_. I was employed through the unemployment agency in my Country of boobsandsex (Sweden). i wish i could be as big an rear end in a top hat as my boss, i'd get all the girls.

Client wants a vpn-tunnel to some sort of machine in the neighboring country, my smug boss sells them a ZyXEL ZyWALL 5 firewall, since it's got vpn-functionality. (massive overkill) The machine is some sort of retarded block of uselessness that cannot handle DHCP, i've spent some time configuring the firewall to be able to just hand it over to the client, they plug it in and the machine and everything should work. So my boss talks the to client while the client is installing the zywall, nothing works like it's supposed and then he hands me the phone instead. Apparently the machine is set up on a 192.168 ip right now, i've set the same scope for the lan-interface in the zywall, built a vpn to our office so the firewall shouldn't block anything, right?. I've also set up the port forward in the NAT settings but nothing works! I can't ping anything on the other end of the firewall, the isp says nothing's blocked on their end and even when disabling the firewall-port in the zywall i get _nothing_ i know we had told him to use the wrong gateway, but that's fixed right now, still no traffic. (i told him over the phone that everything seems to work fine, since he could telnet to the machine when he was plugged into the same zywall, guess the gatewaysettings didn't matter right then). The client gets pissed off because we charge a billion bucks for the zywall and still nothing works, and i get suicidal because i'm the one who's messed up. to top it off, last week i had my first education/certification. I got to go because it was free, and it was for ZyXEL "Security"/"Firewalls". and even that i managed to screw up. also alcohol is very expensive and i hate the tast of it. i'm so screwed..

it feels just like the usg-firewalls when you haven't configured routing, the vpn builds but nothing goes through it, unfortunatly these zywalls are supposed to do all that stuff automagically. i've even compared everything with another client (also zywall) that works great. clients local iprange is 192.168.23.x (60 to 100), machine has 192.168.230.60 set statically in the machine. vpn goes from 192.168.230.60 ->192.168.23.x (the last resort is to just blame the customer, their stupid machine isn't set up correctly.)

user draws instructions / construction drawings for end users, using adobe freehand (8 or something). my boss sees this as the same thing as autocad or equally demanding on hardware so he sells a new thinkstation s-something, xeon cpu, 6 gigs of ram, win7x64 and one of those expensive nvidia professional graphicscards. user gets new computer, turns out the clients old version of navision was end-of-support:ed in 2006 and will not run in w7 no matter what you try. So i install xp-mode for him, give it a real ip on the network since it cannot access the navision databaseserver through the host NAT or anything like that. user says "ok looks great" and that's the last i hear from him in two months. then i get a "navision has never worked like it's supposed to, i cannot open embedded excel-files because i get a strange error that cannot be closed. printing does not work from navision. when i search for something i used to get navision to search as i type - that no longer works.". 1) "(Could not open instance of OLE-controller identified by GUID=(xxxxxxxxx) Unknown automation server. Unknown Class." - Sure, retarded xpmode doesn't forward the document to the office on the w7-machine, xpmode needs a separate office installation. 2) - printers are forwarded like in rdp-sessions but that doesn't work at all with navision so i have to add each printer in xp too. 3) this is for you guys out there, can you guess why "find as you type" doesn't work? can you? huh?  any suggestions? and could you please tell me, who never use navision, why you, who use it 8 hours a day wouldn't know this? second ticket: [quote] <users> computer drops to DOS-mode and hangs.

So one of our clients small business server 2003 bluescreened during saturday nights BackupExec's Exchange-backup. BE says "The job failed with the following error: Access is denied." BE logs say "'\\DC-PRIMARY\Microsoft Information Store\First Storage Group\Mailbox Store (DC-PRIMARY)' is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify." So that doesn't sound too good does it? Eventlog gives me error 478 from ESE quote:Information Store (5452) The streaming page read from the file at offset 6772142080 (0x0000000193a6b000) for 4096 (0x00001000) bytes failed verification due to a page checksum mismatch. chkdsk: "Errors found. CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode." eseutil (verify integrity of exchange database): "Operation terminated with error -1206 (JET_errDatabaseCorrupted, Non database file or corrupted db) after 1542.31 seconds." So i go check the backups, last successful exchange-backup was friday, last successful exchange-backup stored on tape was thursday one week ago. The tapedrive is broken somehow and my boss sold them a bunch of new tapes and a cleaningtape that didn't magically fix everything. we also delete two-day old backups from disk since we only have a total of 16gb free on the server. Looks to be a fun week i'm so tired of a: Not know what the hell i'm doing, i know _nothing_ about exchange that i haven't just googled, and b: Customers not wanting to spend money on their servers. This is a 32bit server running everything they need to work, on two 146gig sas-drives in raid1 with 16gb free. It's running exchange, sql, their 12 year old Navision-service, ftp nobody uses, some sort of magic pri-service that is business critical and also fileshares, printershares and the "time clock".

I get the admin password and log in, and look at the logs to try and find out why it shut down. I see no shutdown events or anything, until I notice a bunch of events that are from 2001, which prompts me to check the system date and time. Yup. 12:16 January 1, 2001. Welp. I'd guess the ups couldn't shutdown the server correctly / didn't have time to do so, so at a small blackout the server stopped. I've sometimes had problem with networking because the ipsec service wasn't running / had problems at startup. What you could do is check ip and dns-settings (cmd, ipconfig /all), then ping local ip, gateway, dns, try pinging https://www.google.com or something similar. just to see where everything stops also check if there's services that are set to automatically start but are not currently running.

Upgraded clients SBS2003 to a new SBS2008 with more everything. Sadly NTFS is still there with it's limits, so their rather strange way of storing files had to be redone. (255char limit etc) This means that shortcuts in each project-folder is pointing the wrong way. Do any of you know of a tool to edit multiple shortcuts? if all else fails i'll go vbs on it, there's a WshShell.CreateShortcut that can return current target (apparently), but.. jesus christ i don't want to let my script loose on a clientserver.

ah good ol' fsmgmt.msc are you sure you have enough files open there? also, please note that it's forbidden to actually close all open files at the end of the day, it's not like we ever want to install updates on the server and reboot. i mean there can't be any *real* patches released the last 39 days, right?..  Click here for the full 376x738 image. hp printer drivers, one of the snowflakes absolutely HAS to have one of those printers that cannot be installed without the magic cd of bloatness.  and even THAT is a bit much on a fresh w7

the web/ns-host we use for ourself and all our client-domains is down at the moment, has been for 30+ minutes. my boss has been in a bad mood today, he talks with my colleague but hasn't said poo poo to me all day long. so currently he's troubleshooting by sending emails to one of our clients, had he just asked me i would have told him that the nameservers are down. ** ninjaedit, he just told me emails were slow between us and the client i told him about the dns-issues.

Still lovely at catching Fake AV stuff, but it hasn't caused any crashes or performance issues. ...or when a network share was displayed with chinese characters, after refresh missing half the files but atleast showing them with normal latin characters and after the second refresh missing half the files and showing them with chinese characters. RDP in worked fine for a few minutes then it refused to accept it. Reinstallation of server, reconnecting clients, importing all emails into exchange again and everything worked fine. For two months. Then same problem again. H/W issue? No, SEP. Still haven't heard of anyone else having the same problem, we've removed the SEP client from all our SBS2008 servers now. And god damnit why does half the Symantec setup.exe's work when you have it somewhere else than in c:\cd\ but the other half craps out and complains that it cannot find the exe? Dick Trauma posted:Email I received from the company President: Subject: Can access Internet but mail hacked Body: Email isn't working I sent this email from my iphone (which is ofcourse connected to the exchange server that isn't working). yeah.. i got that mail 10 minutes after i fixed the mailserver..

It's not possible to deny printing of certain filetypes on one of two printers is it? We have a customer who insists on printing pdfs on his old HP LaserJet 1022, which causes the printspooler to crash each and every time. I just received an email with the entire body in the subject-field, "suddenly there's no printer connected to my computer, can you check it. I want to be able to print to my local and the color printer downstairs..." Apparently this is caused by the print driver that cannot handle something(was it direct/buffered printing?) Someone suggested to change it each time in acrobat reader, but that's not going to work since he's done this every month and still does not remember not to print pdfs to his local printer. .. or i could just say his printer is broken and sell him a new one.
