@Holocryptic Get the vacuum and get back to work.... You don't want to be stuck with the other kids spray painting the district logo on all 3,000 laptops.
@tombull89 I reserve "Insrt Coin" for the server displays, nice to see the techs scratch their heads. For printers "PC LOAD LETTER" is the default here.
Either DE needs to be fixed, or the query revised, but that is supposed to show all migrated-in Questions with no answers in the last 3 months (according to the man pages).
@Holocryptic Cool Story Bro: We hired one of the interns that spent a summer spray painting a few thousand laptops. He's our web/SQL programmer guy (sorta). The next year we got a laser etcher to do the logo -- it's probably more toxic than the spray painting.
For next April 1st, I want to see if I can find a utility to speed up/slow down the fan server speeds so they can play a tune like Top Gear did with an F1 Car engine.

@Iain Not sure if it was a schema change, or if they simply ripped out the Migration history in the DE DB (the DE DB is not the Live DB).
On a side note, if that migration history was available, looks like it would be possible to construct a query of all 'rejected' migrations and who voted to migrate them... Not entirely sure of that (and might actually be the reason the migration data is missing).
@Chopper3 - Those questions need a generic answer "There's a reason the equipment that does this well costs a lot of money. It's because there isn't a way to do it cheaply."
It's one of those annoying markets that lacks a useful middle ground. The reps mentioned they were looking to do by-the-session hosted concentrators, though. Couple that with a small, reasonable camera and it might be in our price range. Something to keep an eye out for, anyway.
Seems from a few posts as recent as August 2011 that Migration records used to be included in the DE DB's PostHistory table. They are currently (Nov 2011) omitted and I was just wondering why.
I have a client that was scanned and determined not to be PCI Compliant. I looked and they had IIS setup to allow a program from central office to push/pull info from their server. Many of the reasons they failed appeared to have been fixed in SPs (they were on SP2) or security updates. I fully p...
@Holocryptic So that they can say "we told you so" when some dumb schmuck blows up his house and relatives in a horrible bonfire of human flesh and turkey
@Shads0 Sounds fun, but its not their place. Pretty soon they're going to ban turkey fryers as "too dangerous for the plebes to handle" and then I won't actually ever get to sample that delicious fare again, unless it's by a government approved food vendor.
@voretaq7 I'll take terrorist over hilbilly, my face got burned by a pair of hot tongs when I was younger, so I have this level streak on both sides of where a goatee would grow for me that has no hair and it looks funky
@pfo yep - it's a new splunk app that would help people without vcenter more than those with but importantly it, and why I want it, it correctly adds field-names to the various parts of all the different log message you get from esx/vc so I can combine vmw data into multi-sourcetype transaction trails
@Holocryptic I need a keyboard that has colon on a separate key for that reason...sadly, none exist
Though, using advanced IDEs like Netbeans or Eclipse make life easier because at least it will have a red line pointing to it. As opposed to doing it on a B&W terminal like my intro to programming professor made us do to get the 'experience' of programming...I still want to tear his head off to this day.
@Chopper3 I'm old enough to remember typing in a few hundred DATA statements in BASIC to bootstrap a machine-code editor so I could type out thousands of hex numbers to load a game.
I have a 1 Terra My Book Western Digital external hard disk ... Its USB socket got broken so I kept connecting and disconnecting it several times to make it work ... sometimes it worked and other times it told me "This disk should be formatted", anyways ... I disassembled the hard disk away from ...
@Zypher you want that TXT record to be directly linked into the AD, or are you just looking for something that would update the TXT record when the attribute of some object changes?
then have a tool that queries that record and loops through all the dracs in there and does queries on them / firmware updates/ anything else i can think of
@voretaq7 ... not sure, havn't had to dig that far into it yet
possible alternate solution that requires no TXT record: LDAP query that grabs all DNS-A-Record-Looking objects of the form `*-drac.ds.stackexchange.com` & feeds them to the same tool
it seems less painful, but it means whatever you're monitoring from needs an LDAP client installed (and probably a read-only AD account so it can check out the DNS record subtree)
and I have to assume A record like objects have their own ObjectClass (haven't looked at AD integrated DNS zones in like 5+ years when they were the newest shiny)
@MikeyB or allow transfers from the main zone to the monitoring machine and just do an AXFR once every $_period to refresh the list -- avoids having the extra system in the middle and gets around the LDAP dependency.
that's what it sounds like. I personally like the LDAP solution because you can collect other metadata if it's in AD, but the DNS solution has a lot of nice unix tie-ins
We actually own a SL500 ServerLift at my data center. Really great investment. if you are worried about what lifting servers can do to your employees, and the actual servers, i suggest you get one.

I think it's more frustration because thats the 3rd flag to take me back down to 650 xD. Looking it over again, I guess I was a little too quick on the trigger.
