@MDMarra In prod environments, the local Administrator is account is disabled, renamed, a fake local account is created with no privileges, disabled, and renamed to Administrator. :)
This is your third unintelligible question in under an hour. Please think your thoughts through completely and concisely before you vomit them to the front page. — MDMarra20 secs ago
@RyanRies I usually don't but I get shit for it
I think I'm starting to come around to disabling built-in\administrator, but still..why rename then disable?
I've narrowed it down to one of these things 1) I disabled 8dot3 file name creation before trying to promote 2) I had the hypervisor time sync integration service turned off, and 3) Windows firewall rule maybe
ah man, I can't believe this. My girl just told me she found some of the street cats she feeds at the backyard dead. Apparently some bastard has poisoned them.
So Microsoft in its infinite wisdom has made this a bit difficult. I have a Dell that I stripped (dead mobo) and put all the parts into an HP laptop. Well, everything worked (surprisingly) ...although, after a few weeks now it's saying "Windows is not genuine" and complains about an invalid key.
I thought that the MS-recommended config was have the physical hosts and guests configured to sync from the domain hierarchy and to leave time sync on?
@MDMarra From this article, last updated in 2013: "For virtual machines that are configured as domain controllers, it is recommended that you disable time synchronization between the host system and guest operating system acting as a domain controller. This enables your guest domain controller to synchronize time from the domain hierarchy"
"This guidance has been recently updated to reflect the current recommendation to synchronize time for the guest domain controller from only the domain hierarchy, rather than the previous recommendation to partially disable time synchronization between the host system and guest domain controller."
I'm running a web server off of an Amazon EC2 instance, and I'm using the Amazon Linux AMI as my instance operating system (I think it's CentOS or something).
Anyways for the past month or so something weird has been happening with MySQL. Around once a week, it seems that MySQL will randomly ju...
I've been watching the re-make of Neon Genesis Evangellion - it's a bit disturbing how much sexuality they've given to 14-year-old characters that wasn't in the original TV version
Spent the day going through my finances yesterday. Canceling my parent's line, taking the rest of my stuff out of storage and canceling it, cutting down my cable/internet bill down to minimums
@MDMarra I find it so weird that you guys have to pay for TV. That's probably one of the only good things about living here - we got good TV OTA for free
@Cole Personally I don't think there's anything too wrong with that - just as long as you are actually okay with it, and not just saying that to avoid emotional conflicts
@MarkHenderson I've just realized there's only about .00001% of the population who will date transpeople. (men and women) I'm straight so that narrow it even more and then the women who will, are all batshit crazy. More crazy than typical women. So it's like, really what's the point?
@NathanC it doesn't matter the amount of time spent together, it matters what happened in that period of time. I've spent 1+ years with someone but felt more for someone else who I only spent a few months with. It's the power of the connection.
Well she's hurting herself by continuing to talk to him, I don't talk to my ex.
The loop0 is a loop device, which passes accesses to userspace for processing. In consequence, the reason for this behaviour depends on how you have set it up. Devices aren't constrained to reporting the actual available space, and can fail writes more or less arbitrarily.
For instance, if the...
why oh why have kindergartens gone into business as shared hosting providers en masse?
But, in this case, something on this specific DC is clearly fucked up and you've been wrestling with it for months. Just move DHCP off (even to another DC) and blow the box away and start over
@ewwhite VPN access, Domain Admin, name/IP of fucked up server, name/IP of somewhere I can move DHCP to (even another DC is fine). Then, I'll look at the fucked up DC and see if it's really broken or if it's just something weird with DHCP
And free reign to reboot whatever I feel like :)
And if things really are broken on it, you may have to spin up a new VM to take it's place, but I'll handle everything past the provisioning of the VM
(unless you want me to do that too and give me vSphere credentials)
@JourneymanGeek I don't subscribe to anything that is E3 related, but my casual browsing of google news and kotaku has been filled with "don't care, don't care, don't care" lately
