@MDMarra Like I said, technically every Microsoft product is Microsoft PileOfSteamingPoo. It's not something I mind because (aside from SQL server) nobody else uses those names. Same for DPM right now (nobody else I could find in a 10-second google search uses it so until there's contention the naked tag is fine)
I've got a couple buttons and people seem to have stepped on all of them lately. In particular "I don't like how this is, it's crap, we need something better, but I'm going going to contribute to the solution, just complain about the status quo" gets me.
@voretaq7: from wiki On November 22, 2010, Novell announced that it had agreed to be acquired by The Attachmate Group for $2.2 billion. The Attachmate Group plans to operate Novell as two units, SUSE becoming a stand-alone business[13] and anticipates no change to the relationship between the SUSE business and the openSUSE project as a result of this transaction
@ewwhite He said he already read the manual and still said something that proved he didn't understand the manual or didn't actually read it (more like the case).
been troubleshooting a lab computer for a few hours now, it refuses to apply group policies correctly, especially the ones that adds/removes permissions
just found out that this is a dirty deployment with a previously used sid
Why of all gods isn't there a built-in alert/popup in Windows about this? I don't care if it would be Clippy that filled my screen with a exclamation mark, I want to know instantly if there is a SID crash
Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070534 No mapping between account names and security IDs was done.' This error was suppressed.
Question is due curiosity mostly… — it's kinda strange and awkward limitation considering tar's inability to list content w/o reading the whole (sometimes huge) file.
@Zoredache I won't release the sharks-with-lasers on it - "Why doesn't the software let me do this?" is a valid question, the answer is "Because that's not how it works, you do this other thing instead".
but if y'all wanna pile close votes on it you can borrow one of my sharks...
@voretaq7 +1 for "let's add one more non-standard implementation to the litany reasons I despise Linux" -- Time should not cause the headache that it does. :)
@AaronCopley seriously, EVERY UNIX BOX I'VE EVER USED has used "/etc/localtime symlinked to the timezone we're supposed to use, and fall back to UTC if it ain't there". What is so special about CentOS/RedHat that they need a different place to store the timezone name?
@voretaq7 Putty doesn't. OpenSSH doesn't. Because they are focused on security. If Kitty does, it makes me wonder what other security decisions they have decided to compromise on.
Why can I not have a purely virtualized SAN in vSphere 5? I cannot enable the iSCSI port binding option or add the VMkernel to the iSCSI software host bus adapter unless there is a physical NIC associated with the vSwitch.
We have a QNAP TS-410 in our office. Its hardware is:
256MB DDR2 RAM
CPU Marvell 6281 800MHz
4 x 1.4GB Seagate SATA disks mounted on RAID5
We thought it would be sufficient to make backups for our servers, but we have encountered several problems:
It takes about 5 hours to make a daily rsyn...
@voretaq7 So you're saying you want me to reprise my FLAG ALL THE THINGS behavior?
Actually, I do want to get back to my "Homewreckers" thread. I think about that several times a week. I'm happy that I haven't had time for it or ServerFault in general because of worky things, but sad that my momentum completely tanked as pertains to flagging and cleaning things up.
@voretaq7 See, that's counter to my inclination. I like hearing the cries of terror when mods log in after I expended all my flags in an orgy of thread mining. =)
Mods have new tools for finding sock accounts... I don't think it's as useful on SF, where we know most of the high rep users... You don't get so many earning rep for bad Q/A and going unoticed.
@voretaq7 Meh, they wouldn't be all interconnected like that... Just a deluge of crap from a handful of compromised machines.
this botnet is hawking fake airline tickets, lotto scams, and the magical pill that will make your breasts 1-3 cup sizes larger while simultaneously increasing your penis size 1-3 inches.
I'm normally all for and open, net neutral, free (speech) Internet... But when it comes to spam I wish Consumer ISPs would rate limit (or even block) outgoing Port 25.
