We are having an issue with our blackberry server (EWSTest fails at autodiscover lookup) and I am running a packet capture with Wireshark in an attempt to diagnose the issue. There is a conversation that is encrypted with Kerberos (RC4-HMAC) that I would like to read.
After some research, I fou...
@ewwhite Yep. Took a while to get there, mostly because Exchange 2007 on a VM hosted on RAID5 disk isn't the quickest thing ever. hurk. Of course, for a 10-user business, you don't really need it to be the most performant thing ever.
Fixed! They'll be able to email those cu^Wother people now.
"your users are out of order, click re-order to fix" - what exactly does this mean and why does it effect a programs ability to load?
OS: Windows 7 64 bit ultimate edition
What does it mean when right-clicking on a file and clicking on security you see a message that says this "your users are o...
Like seriously, your code performs a bunch selects that take 300ms each to set up the join for. You can change the code to do one select, which takes 301ms. Why don't you want to change the code?!?
@Adrian ...when my systems introduce a performance problem I change them. I do it before customers notice whenever possible.
@WesleyDavid Was this what you were talking about re: being smart w/ Linux vs. thinking dumb with Windows when transitioning between the two? serverfault.com/questions/383929/…
@ewwhite Linksys device, 3 modems, 1 hub not in the rack, no UPS, CRT monitor, is that a T1, DSL or Phone connection hanging out at the bottom of your rack there?
God Damn Fscking Apple! I can't update any apps or install new ones until I provide answers for 3 out of the 4 questions they want for security. Mind you, I don't HAVE answers for 2 of them.
@KyleBrandt Dunno, never knew anyone with floor space there, just meet-me-rooms/interconnects
it was the TelX hub before 8th ave got all uppity
can't you guys just do what Google/Apple/Amazon/etc. do? Buy out some midwestern farmer, stick a couple of wind turbines down so you can say you're "green" and start demanding tax subsidies for your data farm?
Organic free-range data - No hormones or pesticides! The malware is hand-picked off the disk by underpaid migrant workers.
@KyleBrandt yeah that saves you some power especially if your loads aren't write-intensive (and if you're using SSDs you know enough about them that your writes are reasonable)
Here's a picture of the ceiling above the switch rack. Note the plumbing directly above the rack for the bathroom they put in several years after the server room, and the catch tray ceiling designed to keep sewage leaks from the floors above the server room from getting on the equipment.
@Adrian . . . and when SW002 blows up and you can't just find all the shit connected to it by eye so the downtime is 10x as long, what then mr. smarty-manager-pants? Hmmmmm? (Morons you work for, MORONS!)
@voretaq7 Yeah, at one point the dept. policy was that all the punchdowns were at the top and the switches at the bottom. So we had bundles of 12 patch cables each running down the left side of the rack when we did the install. I'm sure you can see just exactly how well that worked and how long that stayed neat.
@voretaq7 So we've lately been moving the punch downs around a little to fit switches in between so that we can use little 6" patch cables down to the closest switch. You'd think I invented the cure for cancer or something as far as my Technicians were concerned.
Speaking of which, I'm going to go spend some time in there since it's Friday, and they can fsck off if they don't like it. I had to clear my desk today so that they can put new counters in this weekend, so I can't do anything useful anyway.
You need a server racked? You give it to ops. They put it in the rack with a power cord the exact length to go neatly from the PDU to the power plug running on the left side of the rack, and an ethernet cable the exact length to go from the ethernet port to the patch panel or switch running on the right side of the rack.
@ewwhite but it was hard enough to get them to let me buy multiple lengths of ethernet cable - the 4-6 footers come with the server, and they won't spring for custom--length power cords.
