I have a Windows Server 2008 machine as my DC. Earlier this year I created a Software Installation GPO to deploy Adobe Flash Player plugin MSI. I assigned the policy to the computers, about half run Windows XP x86 and the other half Windows 7 x64. That all works like clockwork.
When I created...
@RebeccaChernoff If I steal "misappropriate" some hardware from the office into a large FedEx airmail box, would that speed things along? And if so, which hardware?
I'm a little concerned. Can anyone at SE check on George? I made fun of him at least 3 times in chat today and he never threatened bodily harm (or made any other response)
@RebeccaChernoff That would explain the symptoms I'm experiencing. It's just my devophobia acting up again. I'll just reconfigure some servers real quick and it'll go away.
Hmm. I feel all inhibited. Now that there's a developer in the room, I can't say what I really want to about this... um... "application" I had foisted on me.
I have a server without internal USB port(s), and I need to run an OS from a USB stick.. I'm thinking duck tape, but at the same time I feel like white trash....
So if a developer writes a service for a Windows box (in Java, blech) that uses the temp folder of the user who installed it as the working datastore for the service... that developer is clearly on crack, right?
I want to make sure I get the abused substance correct in my complaint letter. Don't wanna go off half-cocked and accuse the dev of smoking on crack, when he's really shooting heroin or huffing household cleaners or something else.
@Dan Not sure how the extension cable will work though.. It just makes it a tad harder to disconnect the stick.. I'm not sure if I can find a hole to run the cable through either (it's a poweredge 1950 server)
OK, so one of the bureaucrats here gave me a vendor-suggested remedy that's making my blood pressure take off... am I out of line, or does this sounds off to anyone else?
Set the following registry key to increase NSPI settings for ALL 2008 DC's in the environment that can accept GMM GC referrals from the mailbox server that holds the GFE enabled user’s mailbox.
Note: In mixed mode goodadmin should always be on the highest org level to avoid possible conflicts with complex enterprise level 2010 orgs with multiple sites.
@Dan because it's an old server (disks are known to die after several years), the battery for the raid controller is dead (and I don't want to spend money on that, considering the disks being old), and because.
I have a server without internal USB port(s), and I need to run an OS from a USB stick.. I'm thinking duck tape, but at the same time I feel like white trash....
so yeah, USB stick in the back port with duct tape..

@ewwhite I'll defintiely keep that in mind for next time. I've got about an hour to get results. It would certainly help for next time I have to do legal discovery on our email.
i want to do not pay for consultant!it is one of the reason i asking here.also best consultant are here.like you.we can help each other.may be i am in programming and you in networking. — Mimad1 min ago
@Mimad Wanting to learn isn't bad, but wanting to build an entire corporate network and domain based on what you read in free PDFs from the internet certainly is bad. — HopelessN00b1 min ago
So, on that note I'm going to go catch an early train home so that I can go to bed and hopefully I don't have nausea, diarrhea, internal bleeding, increased heart rate, and an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours.
2012 --- THEM: "We found a consulting IT firm that can help us with BYOD...they can use various means of knowing whether a computer is personal or not through things like certificates and the switches...it's pretty cool...you should talk with them"
see the problem is you used big technical terms. You should have proposed it the way the consulting firm did: With a $10,000 price tag and some sock puppets!
THEM: "basically if someone brings their laptop with a virus on it and plugs into the network it won't infect us" ME: <rollseyes>
THEM: "you should talk with them asap. We'd like them to present this to the board...but will need you in the room as well" ....so basically I should have stayed in consulting where people think you are brilliant as long as you aren't on staff.

@Adrian None I've seen anyway... but I can't even see what it is. The whole YouTube domain (and most any streaming media) is blocked, so I just see a translucent play arrow overlayed against the chat background. :(
...Although, now that I think of it, if anyone looks over my shoulder, I think a soapy video might be low on the list of shit that needs an immediate, clever explanation.
First off, just a sanity check: out of 824 migrations from Stack Overflow in the last 90 days, that 31% rejection rate means ~ 255 were inappropriate. During that same time period, over 12 thousand questions were closed as off-topic on Stack Overflow.
IMHO, 31% isn't insanely high period - but ...
@RobM Oh, right, the kind of sector I don't want a job in. I get handed a job application I'm inclined to say "thanks, a job application... I remember those from when I was applying for summer jobs. Do you want me to give this to the next highschooler I see?"
@Shog9 Regarding the 31% not being high, I'm reminded of a guy who had as many upvoted answers as downvoted ones, and basically said: I'm right half the time, that's pretty good.
I still think that a feedback loop is needed. It doesn't need to be a rep penalty or a timeout from being able to vote to migrate to that site. A simple notice in the notification inbox would be plenty.
@Shog9 I think that's the biggest problem - we keep kicking things back, but the people making bad migrations don't know about it
I've taken to going over and leaving comments on the ones I've rejected telling the OP why we kicked the question back (if it was just badly written), but that only helps the OP
@Shog9 Your post also had a good idea about changing the subtitle. I'd hope that would be enough to make SOers think twice about going "server, punt to server fault."
Well, we don't know if they know. Most of them probably don't - but the information is public, and easily looked up if you care. Some probably do care.
@Shog9 a lot probably do care, but that gets into another scale issue: There are so many active close-voters on SO that with 100 "bad" migrations we may never see the same person twice
I guess that's really the essence of the point I'm trying to make here: most folks on SO are already doing the right thing most of the time. So focus on what we can do to help educate those that aren't.
@Adrian the alternative would be for migration votes to feed a migration queue (that idea has come up more than once in the migration grousing - it would be a mixed blessing...)
something like that going SO -> SF would work great because SF has an active community of reviewers. Something going SO -> CS may have a harder time (or be more of a burden on that site's mods if they don't have a big review community)
Somehow, the folks talking about pull-migration always seem to miss that anyone can just waltz on into the site and post a question without delay. You're talking about putting fancier locks on a door when there are no walls.
@Shog9 by that token though migration itself should just be done away with & people would leave comments saying "Maybe you should ask on blah" -- which is certainly a valid argument too, though I don't know if I agree with that one either
@Shog9 I think you're over-complicating that. We can more or less deal with our own mess. If the people that don't know squat about what we do making decisions about what's appropriate for us that's the pain in the ass.
Actually what we're talking about is not compounding their mistake
- person posts question to SF that superficially looks like a fit for SO but is actually crap. That's one mistake
- myself and 4 other idiots vote to move it to SO because we only look at it superficially.... now you have two mistakes. Tell me again how that helps anyone?
the problem is gray areas like this one (which I kicked back because it's too broad right now, but could lead to the guy coming back here after he's read the docs)
@voretaq7 And I'm very in favor of having people voluntarily post their stuff elsewhere. It's easier to deal with as it allows the person asking the question to make that decision as to whether they should.
@Adrian that seems to be the Right Thing in the overwhelming majority of cases these days. @Shog9 has a point though - /review is dredging up lots of crap, and until the review queues drain we should expect substantially higher migration rates (thus proportionally higher reject rates)
@Adrian so have all the other sites. A lot of what I'm closing here isn't from SO though - it's 2/3/4 vote questions that have languished on SF for months
I'm more worried about stuff getting closed that shouldn't than I am about sites getting overwhelmed. Remember, this stuff piled up for years without much attention; if it was all dealt with in a couple months, that'd be kinda scary.
I have searched meta yet. Is there a suggestion to modify the close dialog to actually show the on-topic/off-topic criteria from the destination FAQ when the migration target is selected? Perhaps also adjust the test so that it is very clear on the off-topic that only great question should be migrated?
's also probably nontrivial development, though the supercollider helps
@Zoredache I don't know if that's come up yet - it'd be pretty hard to do well though unless we create a mini-topicality guide for each site (compare SO's FAQ with ours)
& remember that our FAQ was a grueling rewrite based on what SE2.0 sites do with their FAQs -- I don't even want to think about imagining what that would be like for Stack Overflow to do.
@Zoredache yeah but ours would definitely need to be condensed (maybe just the two bullet lists). it's definitely an interesting idea
backup remote site Windows file server to allow offsite storage for DR. LTO tape or something else? (800GB) I don't really know what's out there nowadays for removable backup media. Removable SATA drives?

@Shog9 personally I still think there should be a permanent general solution for overriding the 60-day rule for exceptional but neglected questions, but all of that is entirely separate from the idea of switching to pull- or recipient-reviewed migrations in my mind
(that said I think this is a great solution for smaller sites that want to grab useful content from their parent/grandparent sites)
@Shog9 re: Rejection stats: Let's see how they look in a couple of months. Part of the problem is that although we get far fewer questions than SO, we also have far fewer voters, so many bad migrated questions don't get looked at. But for about a week, I've been searching for migrated:1 questions on SO, following them to SF and giving a first VTC on the ones I think are bad. That gets them in the /Review queue where they can get be quickly rejected if they really are bad.
