A ticket came in. Customer is following on from a closed case where they had issues running CMS backups. The email advises "Just some background, this weekend we had our maintenance gays run a backup and they had out of date documentation" Emphasis mine.

Everyone knows if you want truly reliable backups you scribe the information into stone.

Well, I'm rapidly finding that I hate clerical work, even if it's for the federal government, so uh... Anyone know of any departments in Ottawa hiring in CS classifications?

A new set of tasks has come in. I get to redesign our procurement and storage process so that there can be some actual accountability in the things we order and sign for. I also have been pulled into a VDI project that is being set up for a branch office. In casual conversation I mentioned I've used VMware Horizon before and wouldn't you know it, that's exactly the thing they plan to use. Being free of MSP hell and actually having the time to schedule these things in is still mildly blowing my mind.

In case people haven't seen this one for their ticket desks... MS screwed their OS activation platform in the cloud and has downgraded a significant number (probably a few million) of Win10pro keys to Win10home edition by mistake. Thus causing your OS to become deactivated. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-suddenly-deactivated/fe9a4ecf-2e2a-491d-a43e-b010c316d1c4 https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/11/08/windows_10_activation/ Bonus aftereffects - getting reports of o365 apps (Word/Excel/etc) now failing on the now deactivated machines, because they're attempting to be run on an unlicensed OS. Repair timeframe is expected to be around 48hours...

Well it's officially  time again!After 6 years of owning my own MSP, and then merging with another MSP, I've decided to take position as a Senior Cloud Analyst with the second largest airline here. The entire hiring process was so simple and smooth, (less than 2 weeks from the initial email asking to schedule an interview to today) and I've been wanting to work for them since I started my IT career almost 20 years ago. NOTE: For those of you using our FSRM anti-ransomware service (https://fsrm.experiant.ca), I've been told by the owner of the merged company that it will continue to exist and operate so there shouldn't be any interruptions there. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to my baby but to say I'm excited and looking forward to the new challenge would be the understatement of the year.

Quote possibly one of the weirdest bugs I've seen... The company has a few small side businesses, one of which has a single phone line with a HP multi-function machine hooked up to it. The sole user at this location had been reporting that they are issues dialing some phone numbers; when they pick up the phone and dial them, the fax machine will pickup the line and act as if it is receiving a fax! I stopped by to investigate, and sure enough that is exactly what it does. After some testing I figured out that anytime you pick up the phone and dial 123, the fax picks up. This is a bit of an issue as our area code here ends in '12' and we have a few prefixes that also end with a '12'. And given that 10 digit dialing is required, this means lots of 123's dialed. Ugh. Anyone ever seen anything like this before? I found a single mention of a HP Fax machine having a "*#123" remote control code in it, but nothing on just 123 specifically......

I vaguely recall that some faxes were designed to sit on a single incoming line for an office and you'd set the answerphone message to say something like 'to send a fax to us press 123, otherwise please wait for the beep and leave a message'

I end up spending way too much time trying to troubleshoot fax machines and getting them to do the stupid things people want them to do like work through modern PBX systems or over SIP trunks. Lots of government agences, medical and law offices still live and die by their faxes in TYOOL 2018.

I mostly just lurk this thread because I'm not in IT, but I do work in a medical office and you're so right, people are just married to the fax machine. We had an ophthalmologist's office ask us for some retinal photos... by fax. They didn't have a secure office email and even when I tried to skirt HIPAA a little bit by sending just the raw photos with no PII, no one there had a personal email address they could use. I'm not talking in 1997, this was just last year.

In 2018 I have to imagine there's some startup with an app that gives you a virtual fax number from which you can send and receive faxes without investing any space and/or effort in actually wasting cubic inches of precious oxygen on a fax machine in TYOOL 2018.

In TYOOL 2018, Office 365 still requires passwords of 8 or more characters with capitals, numbers and symbols. Had to come up with something fast for my new account but my password "gently caress You Micro$haft" did not work because it could not have spaces! WTF Microsoft? e: Are password rules set by the organization, or is this a system-wide thing for O365?
