Burned up my whole day doing "real work" and didn't get a chance to play any Server Fault... >sigh<
Anybody want to play "What would you do with the problem I was called in on today?" Heh heh... Microsoft PSS didn't uncover the root cause, and I got called in after they told the Customer to rebuild from backup.
complex, that's how things are today, bloody complex - had this really odd, yet understandable, new functional requirement to sit thing "data frigger" application that's not been written yet in between two otherwise stable application blocks - it's SO easy for people to just say "stick it inbetween those" on a whiteboard - now I've got to figure it all out
They can be tricky though and say things like "you have x Windows Server CALs and y Exchange CALS. These are generally the same, explain yourself..." etc.
You have x computers and y installations of Office - explain yourself...
Although, we're part of a state-wide purchasing contract, so I'm not sure how an audit of our shop would happen. Would they hit us up directly, or talk to the guys at the state level
@BenPilbrow It's the 'Explain Yourself' that could get interesting. Only because of coming up with things like 'this department doesn't use Office because it is an evil MS product...this department averages 6 computers per person", etc
I may be wrong, most probably I'll be wrong, but I remember that I've read that times on SF are UTC. So good afternoon would be appropriate according to UTC.
@pacey Phaw. UTC is only useful for logs so that you don't have to worry about daylight savings. Everyone knows one uses UTC-5 for anything important :)
I have created cron jobs, when I run it manually it works but doesn't run when I want it to, is there any log I can check why it isn't running, and also how can i know whether the cron daemon is actually running and reading my cron jobs?
Those are actually two different things :) Once an hour all the scripts in the /etc/cron.hourly folder get executed. That's what the log message you posted is about.
Or, you can put jobs in a user's crontab file, which it sounds like is what you did.
Ugggggggg just when I started working, suddenly all our VMs on our local VMware server stopped responding... cpu usage on the host is 97% idle, ps awx reports all Vms are in uninterpretable sleep! Nooooo.....
If files are being in use by another process they will be deleted effictively when all Handles are released. You can check this with the fuser or the lsof command.
So I find several sites saying to use server 2003 with saved query in the U&C management console. Stepped through it, entering a nice arcane string for querying LDAP. Run! And...another list of 400+ user objects.
Sometimes I wonder what MS administrators were thinking when they left basic queries out of their tools this long...and why it's so difficult to just query for a bit set to disabled or not disabled.
My query doesn't even match what it's supposed to.
just had half of a 32-host ESXi cluster totally die for a short while because some dick setup a VM with a DHCP/PXE service that decided to stomp all over a block of host management interface IPs! thank god I split the range
I set up a minecraft server two weeks ago. Unfortunately there isn't any good documenation or requirements so I have no idea how well this will scale in a longterm manner.
All technical about minecraft is a huge questionmark. So I think I just have to see how thinks work out.
It requires a lot of RAM to behave well with multiple players, especially if they're of the exploring type. You need at least 1GB just to run the server.
I've been able to host 3-4 simultaneous users on an EC2 m1.small, but that was pushing the limits. Recent versions have made the multiplayer more resource-intensive and less performant in my experience.
Do you remember the times when a consultant walked in and started talking about Java. You just asked: What about performance? And he left without any further word.
When trying to assign a domain account to an IIS 7.5 app pool I get the following error:
Details: Bad Data. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80090005)
My research shows that this can happen when you copy an applicationhost.config file without importing the keys. The suggested resolutions I have seen...
Today's News How Microsoft IT Leverages Security Enhancements from Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 offers significant security enhancements related to network access, branch offices, enforcement, and applications control. Learn how Microsoft IT leverages these enhancements to provide a safer and more secure environment for Microsoft employees and partners.

It's kind of exciting...will I have an active directory database when it's done? Or will he be screaming and running away, pretending he knows nothing when questioned?
SF needs achievements for things like this. "OP follows advice that takes a long time to process and is trying to resist urge to wet himself in case he's destroying his infrastructure: Unlocked!"
I'm about to reformat and reinstall CentOS onto an old server. The server runs on a modest 30 node small business network and has a variety of responsibilities including MySQL, a Samba share, DHCPd & SVN/Trac.

I'm asking questions about @#% LDAP/scripting at this point...when admins find out how horrible I am with scripting they laugh and call me names. They won't even let me play in any admin games :-(
Or maybe he's thinking there's no reason for the partitions but wonders what the other admin knew that he didn't.
In that case he's smart to risk looking stupid :-)
@BartSilverstrim If he solves the "toner shadow on the first 25 pages of the day" problem so I don't have to hear about it anymore I'll give him a steak!
this printer is absolutely fantastic... except for that.
I feel like there's a good "exact duplicate" of this one: serverfault.com/questions/231265/… If not, I think we do need a good canonical OS-neutral "Understanding what makes a good backup" kind of question.
This question was the equivalent to a girl showing on a forum, everyone wanted a piece. http://serverfault.com/questions/231161/what-is-this-thing-called
@EvanAnderson problem is while good backup techniques aren't OS-dependent they're often environment dependent (stuff like when do I do my full backups, do I use a straight rotation scheme or a funky tower-of-hanoi style scheme that saves tapes, etc.)

He is working on processing a request for more IPv4 address space. They already have quite a bit, and we want some data from them showing that they actually need more address space.
How can I become an expert at writing mod_rewrite rules?
What is the fundamental format and structure of mod_rewrite rules?
What form/flavor of regular expressions do I need to have a solid grasp of?
What are the most common mistakes/pitfalls when writing rewrite rules?
What is a good method fo...
@KyleBrandt Yeah. We need one for each of the edge cases, and that gets hard to track. Like rewriting/prettyfying PHP, or handling '?' parameters silently.
I know we frown on RTFM on this site and I agree with that in general, but you know what, sometimes the answer really is: "It looks complex because it IS complex. You need to reed the following manuals"
Before I ask my question I would like to point out I am a web developer who normally uses Stack Overflow and new to Sever Fault, I think this is best place for this question.
I have recently started a new job, and among other things my IT department are reluctant to allow Putty access to the int...
GAAAAH!!!!! What's a non-snotty way of saying "I used to work with the Exchange team at Microsoft, I know what was and was not in their release schedules for Exchange 2007 and 2010"
@Zoredache - that's true, hadn't thought of that. It would be a crazy way of doing things, but then some people are crazy
@packs One of our server admins told me we're getting a new app soon that is better than Putty and TSCMMC put together. Sounds like it's a commercial product, but I can't wait to see it.
