@HopelessN00b I havent even started looking at it yet... I was figuring on doing all the firmware updates to begin with, I dont even have the switchs set up or cabling done for it
right now I'm learning sharepoint and sql... On a time crunch
goes into production wed, and im expected to support it
they had built a standalone sharepoint server, with sql express
So i've built a sql server, and a sharepoint server, tested the database export and import, tested the AD integration, created all the users and groups in AD, got the web part together for password management(external contractors need access), tonight I'm doing the full export and import into the new servers, and reassigning the URLs
@MDMarra they had it built as a standalone... has to build a new farm and export/import just to have the option of adding in another SP server, which I fully expect to do at some point
This stuff is just weird enough that most good admins haven't seen it. Reminds me of when I'd hit the wall doing financial system stuff. Nobody to ask..
But I'm most concerned that vCloud director makes NO sense to me!
See I might not be tip top at political maneuvering or negotiations, but I sure as shit am really good at telling someone that they're wrong and I'm right and having them like me after
I'm trying to give a particular user superuser privileges, specifically the global write permissions that root hashe user in question must have these permissions without using sudo. It's a user that runs a service that is trying to write a file to a directory that it doesn't have write permissio...
The West-coast LOPSA conference that everyone raves about is CascadiaIT, put on largely by the Seattle Area System Administrator Guild (or SASAG). This is its third year, and it's got a great looking line-up of tutorials: Root Cause Analysis (both beginner and intermediate classes) PowerShell Fundamentals Building Your PowerShell Toolkit An Introduction to Puppet An [...]
@ewwhite So yikes. Sounds like you're in the middle of a tangle that isn't your fault but you're starting to get blamed? Like, has anyone actually pointed the finger at you?
@ewwhite So you find all the problems that no one else sees. Cover your hindquarters with documentation and good reasoning, but yeah, sometimes I feel like that. I've had it happen where I walk in and things start breaking, and it's like "It's not my fault you built your house of cards and it just happened to fall down when I came in."
im trying to install openstack in a VM running UBUNTU 12.04 DESKTOP but during devstack deployment i get
"Downloading/unpacking prettytable (from -r > python_keystoneclient.egg.info/requires.txt (line 2))"
which freezes the installation. I followed the directions posted here

@Andrew I sent my wife to MSY to get something for me once. She was the only woman in the queue and everyone else was asian and didn't speak of a word of english and they just stared at her
I don't think they'd ever seen someone 6'2" and pale before
the vSphere VM causing trouble needed to be cloned to another VM in order for vCloud Director to see it cleanly enough to be imported into a vApp Template catalog.
Another guy and I spent about an hour figuring out how a 15 line file rotation script written in perl worked. It turned out to be a portability issue with the builtin acting in an unexpected way on x86.
@WesleyDavid Something weird like rename on a currently open file results in a copy/truncate. I don't have the code handy to go back and see exactly what he was doing.
@Zypher In case you care at all, the entire problem was that in the %install phase rpmbuild was attempting to strip a .a file. The permissions on the file were 555, so the strip failed. In the el5-i386 and el5-x86_64 chroots the strip failed but rpmbuild went merrily on its way. In el6 rpmbuild went tits up when strip didn't work.
Probably about half the time I get these requests the package is in epel, so cobbler can mirror it easily. About 49% of the time the package exists for a different distro so I can massage the spec pretty easily and throw it in the satellite channel that I manage. This is definitely the 2%.
@JoelESalas So yeah, after remi's little treachery I surveyed all the repos I could find, and could not find one I could live with. So I put together my own. (Don't tell anybody my build server is on Windows Azure...)
@JoelESalas Yeah, eventually I will. Probably in a couple weeks. I want to fill it out a bit more with some more useful packages, and put together a proper web page and bug tracker and that sort of stuff.
Of course, that's all after I move from my hand-made build scripts to koji.
Is there a way to force Google Chrome to remember passwords for sites that have autocomplete turned off?
Clarification:
I am a programmer, but ideally, I'd like a method that I could help regular users implement, too.
@Ward Yeah, I'm in no rush - but that did seem like a sweet bike. I might let it slide. Upswing was that it's here in town so I can drive to pick it up and not pay shipping.
