Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:I like that in this day and age, OS doesn't matter. I run Ubuntu in VMware Workstation on Windows 10 and use either one depending on what I'm doing. Seconding this. I put my new desktop together last night and promptly realized I forgot my Windows 8 disc. "Oh well, I've got a small SSD with ubuntu 12 on it... good enough" I'm sure that eventually I'll want to change the led color on my Kraken x61. I'll probably install windows then.

Internet Explorer posted:Yeah, until you realize Xerox is literally the devil. as bad as Xerox is, HP is worse. We have Xerox machines, but somehow everyone wound up with their own personal HP laserjet xxx anyway. I'm battling one right now that's throwing a 59.2 (main motor rotation) error. Things that solved the issue: cleaning the waste toner cartridge, propping the front door slightly open. Things that didn't solve the issue: having an HP tech replace the main motor.

Sickening posted:Generally I prune permissions without asking and let tickets sort out who still needs access. we did this at my last job, it kind of backfired. HR lady made a big stink about not being able to see this or do that (like view other people's desktops files, which she really didn't need to do... like AT ALL) so we were just told to give her and her only FULL ACCESS and admin privileges. Guess who got us cryptolockered twice in 2 days?

Sickening posted:That doesn't read to me like pruning without permission backfired, but lack of common sense backfired. Pruning without asking is what poked the dragon. It caused her to essentially flip the gently caress out and go looking for things she wasn't able to access, which in turn caused the hammer to drop on our department to essentially "just give them what they want." It warms my heart to know that the whole company is belly up now. They're just waiting for someone to come along and flush them.

This is loving beautiful. I'm getting no work done today. I love how horribly dramatic (and sociopathic) socially inept (literally?) retarded nerds can be. Can we get a thread on why every Linux-based-whatever eventually forks into like 10 different distros because nerd-drama? That'd be one giant loving rabbit hole.

Dark Helmut posted:This is kinda where I lost interest, but I'll say that anyone who said something towards the middle and in particular the answer above is where I fall. Is it your boss's responsibility to teach you a new technology that reasonably falls under the realm of what you do? Like Windows 10 to a desktop person or a new flavor of Javascript your company wants to check out? Why would you NOT take the initiative? Conversely if they implement something vastly different maybe it skews more towards their side but it's certainly not as polarized as you make it sound. In my experience, regardless of whose responsibility it is, you won't get trained unless you ask. Even then, you probably won't be given the resources you need to be trained or learn what you need to survive. Take this with a grain of salt, though. I've worked in some pretty lovely places. It may be his job to train you, but it's YOUR job to be able to do YOUR job. If poo poo hits the fan and it's something that you don't know, but should. Who is going to get blamed? Do everything within your power to take initiative and learn all you can.

MC Fruit Stripe posted:I haven't described anything, other people have simply run with what I've asked and added to it. All I am asking is if it is my responsibility to learn what I don't know, or if it is my boss's to teach me. Do you mean specifics about your infrastructure, or technology in general? In either case I've never had any sort of instruction and have been left to drown/flounder/swim on my own, and I've managed alright. *first day on the job*  HEY THE WHOOZIEWHATSITS IS DOWN AGAIN! FIX IT NOW BEFORE THE PLACE GOES UP IN FLAMES! What's a whooziewhatsits?

We had looked at Intune, but boss man put the kabash on that for some reason or another. I was just looking for others' anecdotal experiences with MDM platforms, really. Edit: I remember now. We did 2 demos with microsoft and both failed horribly. They couldn't even get windows phones working properly with it in their own demo. It was cringeworthy. Also we're a fairly small org, I don't expect much more than a couple hundred mobile devices. GnarlyCharlie4u fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Nov 18, 2015 |

I was thinking more along the lines of post-retirement job... but who knows what data centers will look like in 30 years.

Inspector_666 posted:Having your VOIP traffic split out to a separate VLAN was best practice I thought? funny thing about that... my last job there was a lot of discussion from my coworkers and I as to why exactly we needed to do this. Turns out my boss thought VLAN meant Voice LAN (apparently that was a common thing 20 years ago) so, he said "make it so." Some 6 months later he somehow figured out what we had done and ordered that it all be lumped back into one jumblefuck of a mess across 15 switches.  Grandstream phones are chatty as gently caress by the way.

tehfeer posted:We currently use Airwatch and push the VPN settings down through it. Then we require them to VPN into the DMZ in order for them to access active sync and only from company owned secured devices. From a security stand point if the devices are not company owned and you allow them to install whatever apps they want then those apps could potentially be accessing the email synced to the device or worse if you are just dropped the devices into your network. It's looking like my org is going to go with Airwatch. I might have to pick your brain some implementation time.
