wow...I think I actually made deep config changes to my Call Manager without breaking anything and only fixing what I wanted to change. It's almost as if CUCM works as intended!
A is roughly where I am. B is downtown, where all the fun is... C is approximately where work is. D is about where the Richmond apartment is.
The red line I drew in is Boundary road, the boundary between Van and Bby. If your friends are 'close to the harbour' then they'd have to be in North Bby.
There is F-all rapid transit between N. bby and anywhere. The Richmond apt. is right on a skytrain line, though.
@Wesley Adanac is one of the main E-W bike routes. Nanaimo St. is on the Vancouver side, and it would be a stretch to call that near the water... (except for the pool nearby)
In Windows Server (currently using 2012), is there an interface to uninstall 3rd party applications that have been previously installed by an installer (i.e., files as well as registry settings must be removed during uninstall)?
Obviously in desktop versions of Windows there has always been an "...
@MDMarra just a thought...(although I agree the question is derp). I wonder if he's hitting the WIN key and typing "uninstall" or "programs and features" and not realizing it is in the "settings" menu context and not the "apps" menu context.
@TheCleaner "...and not realizing it is in the "settings" menu context and not the "apps" menu context." I think I was just bitching the other day about Win8 doing that.
If I observe the domain:
http://www.google.com/
http is the protocal
www is the subdomain
google is the second level domain
com is the top level domain
Is there a specific term that would describe google.com?
tbh we've ended up doing full installs then removing the gui role because we found so many issues that just really needed the gui installing to debug and its a pain in the hoop to add it from scratch afterwards.
I still think its the way forwards for windows servers though, especially for the base services that no one should be fucking with too often once they're set up.
@MDMarra lol...I just read the back and forth there...I see no example of you being impolite though. Looked pretty civil to me, vs. downvoting his answer and going HopelessN00b on him.
@MarkHenderson We have a 3rd-party Business Intelligence software that needs data from 3 different databases to make reports.. We've moved one of the databases to a new server, and now the BI software is slow because of local processing of remote data (linked servers)
@MarkHenderson What should I do? My idea right now, without ever having touched the product, is to use integration services and transfer/process the data to one server, and then dump the results in a new db/tables that I can point the BI software at..
OK, being as I skipped lunch, I'm outta here. I'll check in on that Meta post at some point tonight and if there are some concrete examples shitkickings may be handed out. ::cranky mod - AWAY::
@pauska Ok we have the same thing, and we do it different ways
One database we replicate using SQL Transaction replication because they need to report on relatively up to date data, and the tables were all suitable (had PKs), and schemas almost never changed
One database was more difficult. Quite a few heaps, and not all suitable for replication because of frequent schema changes. So we did SQL Log shipping - we copied the logs every 30 minutes, but only restored once a day as the data that was being reported on did not need to be up to date - 24 hours old was fine
Catch with log shipping is it kicks everyone off the database when the restores run
Ah. Yes, snapshot replication and log shipping also crossed my mind, but seeing as this app only need a few tables from each app.. it seemed kind of overkill
and I don't need instant data.. even though the BI world is moving that way
@MarkHenderson Why didn't you go for intergration services instead?
@JoelESalas Nothin, just haven't seen you around. I'm having dinner with @ewwhite tomorrow and we're going to sit down and figure out how to get you blackballed in every major marketi n the US
E.g. they had to enter a ticket number, and which client's database they wanted access to, and it would grant their AD username permissions for 30/60/90 mins, whatever, and then revoke the access when the time was up
But they downside is that they'll wake me up to perform trivial admin work on my DCs in the middle of the night, like restarting a service or something
@RyanRies If it's unnecessary, educate them better ;)
@MarkHenderson As long as you require people to actually understand what powers you hand them, and have auditing in place - that's definitely the way to go
@ewwhite Yeah, won't be a problem. She's perfectly bilingual (Spanish) in town full of Mexicans. Worst case scenario she goes back to straight interpreting instead of doing work she likes.
We're thinking about leaving town though. May as well right now...
@Magellan Yeah, somebody cocked up the budget and they think they don't have enough money to keep her, so they had to give her 3 weeks notice. They've had several instances of firing somebody on Friday and hiring them on Monday again... I don't think she plans on staying either way.
Easy example... My last company was a VMware and EMC partner... and they NEVER reached out to either company to get guidance on whether we were doing things the right way.
Stupid mistakes cost us more than $500k in credits paid to customers for downtime.

@ewwhite did you come back with "Years of doing it wrong does not count as experience, one should not adjust to a flawed environment, but rather fix the issues caused by the individuals in charge who lack experience."?
said old keyboards did not have "?" sign. so apparently "echo $?" would help, but then i already said ok, lets move on, without mentioning how he got "?" to that command in the first place.
