Assuming they're all just workgroup computers with no domain or any management, when I need to get into a local account I: Boot computer with a boot disk to get a cmd console or similar (linux works too) Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 Rename utilman.exe to something else, utilman2.exe Copy cmd.exe to utilman.exe Reboot Activate the ease of access button on the log on screen, this will open a command prompt Use the net command to change the password - ie. net user "bob" password - replacing bob and password as neccessary. Reboot and login with the new password At some point you should restore utilman.exe back to the original program Tell the idiots to get on a domain.

Jesus. I do $50 CAD on groceries every few days, and that's mostly vegetables / grains. And that doesn't cover what I spend on lunches.

CLAM DOWN posted:Speaking of the iPhone 6, someone here just mentioned in passing that they hope BlackBerry puts out a smartwatch Are smart watches actually a thing people want / care about? To me they seem like the dumbest things in the world. I can see it if I was in a position where I had to monitor the various health attributes they do, but that can't be a huge market.

So we're looking at downgrading our helpdesk software because our current setup is more expensive and more overkill than we really require. We have some vendors showing us there poo poo, and I was going to suggest throwing Spiceworks into the mix and compare them all. I'm under the impression that for basic helpdesk software, they're pretty well regarded. Is that the case?

Haven't really used Bing but I just assume that if it isn't in the first 5 results on Google, it doesn't actually exist. Mostly because after the first few results Google just picks random poo poo out of the air that has nothing to do with what you searched for.

A while back I went through the MCITP self-paced training books, and you can sign up for the exams at a whole bunch of testing centres - even my rural area has one not too far. I'm not sure if they're any more up to date than Win7/Server 2008R2 though, and self-paced books always have their own issues.

Eifert Posting posted:Is there some reason printers are so ridiculously unreliable compared to other hardware? It seems like the same issues that plagued printers when I was in grade school affect them now. Moving parts, buying cheap models, idiots using them. Any of all of the above will probably sum it up.

I've used CDW a bit when our local vendor can't keep up or stay competitive. They've always been decent when I've needed them.

If my employer wants to pay me to do something that's not part of my job description but something I enjoy as a hobby, I'd do it. I don't do lockpicking, but I've been repairing stereos and AV equipment here, which saves them money and it's something I don't mind spending work-hours doing. I also work in a reasonable place and wouldn't get poo poo on if I let that side stuff slide while important work was going on, and if they were a priority they wouldn't heap a bunch of other stuff onto me at the same time.

I think it's reasonable that the employee is expected to stay up to date on the technology for their position, in so far as keeping up to date with version differences, standards and practices, etc. However, if the employer notices a weakness, wants to add responsibilities to the position, or wants to go through a bigger technology change, they should put resources available to the employee for training.

So a local business wants me to help out with some projects as a consultant. Most of the time I do stuff like this it's quick, under the table type deals where the conversation starts of as "I'll give you $X to help out with this." As for this one, I have no idea how to price myself. Anyone have any pointers on the sort of things to consider when coming up with a number?

Before I took over, our DCs (all of our windows servers, really) had firefox or chrome, adobe pdf reader, adobe flash, and the Java JRE. I was brand new to the IT game and even I know it was ridiculous.

Sysadmin team is using SCOM for all their poo poo, so not my problem. I'm using NagiosXI. It's... functional. It works. I guess it was cheap as well, with their education pricing. Configuring it can be a pain in the rear end, and god help me if I need to decommission something.

Collateral Damage posted:I have a couple of these which came with our HP racks, they're great. I used to use a flat screwdriver until I saw one of these in a bag of rack nuts and misc stuff. None of the experienced IT people knew what it was, but I figured if it comes with the poo poo, it's used for something. I just took it out of the bag and started popping poo poo off the rack, and it blew them away. Those tools are just so much better than trying to use anything else.

Well my boss is resigning. That's bad news because he was completely hands off, and mostly just dealt with departmental direction and administrative duties. The it dept here runs smooth as ice and we don't need much managing. He only worked part time since he workload wasn't that demanding. Now the board wants to hire a full-time replacement, externally (they've been burned by quite a few internal promotions lately). Their ideal candidate is someone with the appropriate management and education experience, as well as my skillset. They want to run the department with three full-time people, but early in the process it looks more like I should be looking for a new job.
