AreWeDrunkYet posted:One way of thinking about it is that you will have no choice but to specialize over the course of your career, assuming you are in non-managerial positions of increasing responsibility. The hard part is going to be maintaining knowledge outside of your specialization - but making the effort to do so will make you more valuable since you'll be able to speak coherently to other people outside of your specialization. As for specializing goes, this hits the nail on the head. My department is very open, the team runs the entire infrastructure except for network and database. We still have our own in-house specialists. I'm the automation guy, we have a storage guy who is also an ex-developer, an old grey-beard who has every RFC memorized and has loads of obscure knowledge, a windows guy for the 50 or so windows production servers we run. The rest are still figuring themselves out. Even though we have these specialists, I still get to play in their realms and they get to play in mine. We also are first point of escalation for everything in the environment, so unless the red flashing light specifically tells the techs that the problem is for a DBA, the call comes to us first and we get to figure out that it is a dba issue and then have it escalated to them.

Geschi posted:I'm actually doing this right now, although using just KSC and its been pretty painless. We have a three task sequence for machines, 1. Install Network Agent. 2. Remove previous AV and reboot. 3. Install Kaspersky AV. Worst thing, the consultant that projected the migration had the brilliant idea of putting the KSC server off site, so whenever I launch the AV task for some clients, the WAN link slows down to a crawl... Users have been complaining a lot. I stayed there til 2 AM on thursday and only managed to finish 1st through 3rd floor, with some computers still missing because people take their laptops home. When they come in the morning KSC automatically detects them as belonging to the subnet and starts launching the AV clients to everyone who wasn't there... This hasn't been easy, not everything is foreseeable and the tool sucks. Two or three more nights and it should be done. I kind of just want to launch a building wide McAfee uninstall and then launch a Kaskersky task for everyone but that would take so loving long.

Can anyone explain to me any downsides (if any) to using dual psu and dual sups in a core switch rather than two chassis for redundancy? Also how over subscribed should uplinks be between a collapsed core and access layer. Mainly for windows 7 workstations with typical office use. I've read 20:1 is pretty acceptable, does that sound right? ToG fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jul 26, 2014 |

I supplemented the videos with chapters from the official cert guides when I needed some more depth on the subjects (which was often). And yes, Jeremy Cioara is very passionate (some would say overly) about the subject matter, and it comes through loud and clear in his delivery. It's a welcome change from a video of someone narrating a PowerPoint slide, though.

Yeah that's probably James Conrad, he's so awful. I've seen some new 2012 videos which are by Greg Shields and they're several orders of magnitude better. As mentioned, they're best as review and high overview. I've taken to just letting them play as background noise.

I was just browsing a relatively well known content sharing website, one of those Upworthy type aggregates that wants your clicks. You'll never believe what this woman found when she opened this can of soda! (She found that soda has sugar in it, thanks for the click). Anyway, I click a link, I click another, I click another, then the website implodes on me and: Whaaaat the gently caress security. e: Oops I left an IP uncovered, but ahh well, servers have IPs, do what you will with that info.

ToG posted:Can anyone explain to me any downsides (if any) to using dual psu and dual sups in a core switch rather than two chassis for redundancy? None? It comes down to how many line cards you need to handle your needs. Dual PSUs in HA is always a good idea even if you're running two chassis. We ran as many as 240:1 (pure gigabit) at the access layer and never pegged the uplink, even in the mornings. If it's typical office use, I wouldn't worry about oversubscription too much; for us it was more important to have spaces on the fiber panel open because we were running as many as 5 physically separate networks to the closets, but your needs might obviously be different if your employees are pushing uncompressed video or other large files on a routine basis. Plus, the utility of redundant connections at the access layer is usually mitigated by the fact that the fiber is grouped together and running separate conduit for redundancy for employees isn't worth the cost. e: The only other time I can think of where you'd absolutely want to use two chassis would be if you had such a high normal traffic load that you wanted to do an STP VLAN load balancing configuration, but that's about it. psydude fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Jul 26, 2014 |

I was looking at a design suggested by someone in our IT department which was effectively a 10-gig daisy chain between switches. My brain couldn't really wrap itself around that concept. I'm putting together a proposal for a collapsed core design instead with a chassis switch at the core and 2 gig uplinks to the core. This is my first real-world design so I just want to have it nailed down. I believe my option might even be cheaper.

Instead of just looking for some poo poo to complain about, can we just get back onto IT and stuff? Things that use symbolic links without salted links are a danger over looked, and allowing run as Admin even before login is dangerous.Roargasm posted:Is it copying the Adminstrator's command prompt over the Ease of Access center on the login screen? Cause I need that feature to fix broken DCs Basically, the problem is it still exists. You can do MUCH more with it than what you think if you know CMD/PS; it's actually pretty sad.

If it's a lazy admin who does lovely CA trusts, just \\dc\C$ or do something in \\dc\%other%\ Might be nothing but I thought I'd share a bit of it. No idea why people jumped the gun unless they just want something dumb. Dilbert As FUCK fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jul 27, 2014 |
