W3rd...
Nov 10, 2014 18:36
Interesting. I'll have a look...
Nov 10, 2014 18:35
WTH? I concentrate on work for a week and the chat site dries up and @ewwhite comes closer than ever to beating me. Yikes...
Nov 10, 2014 18:34
@Iain: w3rd.

@ewwhite - re: Exchange address policies - I try really hard never to have exceptions. I find that many exceptions are better handled with a hidden distribution group w/ a single member because I want that exception to be readily apparent when turnover occurs.
Oct 15, 2014 22:11
If I can just hold @ewwhite off for a few more days I'll have this thing wrapped-up and I can quit Server Fault, too. >smile<

It's like the fucking site has turned into nothing but petty arguments with pedantic dickwads. "My answer is technically correct" even though it ignores the OP's business requirements. "You lack reading comprehension". >sigh< Fucking monotonous. I can see why people are disinterested with the site.

@Colyn1337 - We have been Godwin-ed now, eh?
Jun 24, 2014 19:08
It's to show compassion to the people who aren't subject to euthanasia.
Jun 24, 2014 19:08
@Colyn1337 - If it were only that easy.
Jun 24, 2014 19:07
@voretaq7 - Heh heh... What's the LD50 of 6 inch fishhooks? >giggle<

@HopelessN00b - I was on here y'day, too!
Jun 24, 2014 19:05
@HopelessN00b - If only that were true. Some days I'm fairly certain that people too dumb to live have been allowed to by way of the help of others.

@BigHomie - Nah-- your answer looks elegant and very reasonable. I'd have probably invoked IMAGEX from the command-line rather than using the cmdlet simply out of ignorance.
Jun 23, 2014 21:03
@kce - Count your lucky stars that you know what the reason for the rejection was. That, at least, gives you some feedback, even if it's mostly unhelpful. When I'm in particularly petulant mood I think about rejections where I didn't get any indication of the reason and find myself musing about what I could have done differently. That is a supreme waste of time.
Jun 23, 2014 20:59
@BigHomie - I didn't see who asked the question on the 'convert a VMDK to WIM' question. I was going to give you a comment to the effect of "Damn-- you answered that one fast. I'm clearly off my game.", then I realized you asked it yourself. >smile<
Jun 23, 2014 20:58
Give me teh questions!
Jun 23, 2014 20:58
I CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS IF YOU'RE IN READ ONLY! I DEMAND YOU FIX THE BGP NOW!!!!!!!!1!!!!
Jun 23, 2014 20:57
@Zoredache - What's their fax number?
Jun 23, 2014 20:57
@Iain - Yeah, but that's down, too! QUESTIONS NEED ANSWERED!
Jun 23, 2014 20:56
I have questions to answer. Where can I complain to the Stack Exchange 'DevOps' (snicker)?
Jun 23, 2014 20:55
@kce - It builds character. Seriously. I wish I'd gotten more rejection earlier in life.

@mfinni - I hadn't seen that answer yet. Wow. I'm getting, like, a "post modern sysadmin" feeling from it.
Apr 11, 2014 21:26
Yes! Yes! That's it. Appeal to our sense of "community". You're falling right into our trap...
Apr 11, 2014 21:21
I'm all over that like... well... Server Fault users on an unqualified non-sysadmin asking a duplicate question.
Apr 10, 2014 23:58
@BigHomie - I dunno-- I've just never had occasion to ask a question. I get a decent amount of help from Server Fault just by looking at questions others have asked.
Apr 10, 2014 23:57
@Thecleaner - Thanks for the congrats. It has been a fun ride.
Apr 3, 2014 21:11
I'm learning how out-of-touch I am on this: The SFU schema has been included in AD since W2K3R2 (don't know what schema version number).
Apr 3, 2014 21:05
I would think that all you'd need is just the AD schema upgraded and you should be good, in that case. (I actually haven't done that before... it's one of those "in my copious free time I'd like to play with this" things...)
Apr 3, 2014 21:03
I'll sound ignorant about this, but what are you doing for integration on the Linux side-- just using Kerberos PAM?
Apr 3, 2014 20:57
They are killing it off, though. For sure.
Apr 3, 2014 20:57
Server Core is good, generally speaking. Microsoft needs to be chastised for this one.
Apr 3, 2014 20:56
Yeah, I'd like to know why, myself. That's a step backwards for sure.
Apr 3, 2014 20:56
Apparently that's a casualty of R2... According to this doc it was available on Server Core in 2008: download.microsoft.com/download/a/e/9/… (page 57)
Apr 3, 2014 20:54
Nah-- it should be available on Server Core.
Apr 3, 2014 20:51
(Glad I'm not the only one who pronounces it that way...)
Apr 3, 2014 20:50
Mainly rep, though.
Apr 3, 2014 20:50
Well, money too.
Apr 3, 2014 20:49
I only answer questions for rep.

@ewwhite - I'm jealous of that screenshot. I did manage to get one for my "31,337" at least.
Apr 3, 2014 20:47
Looks like MDMarra holds the record for most rep in a single day ever (at 820). I only managed a piddly 535. (data.stackexchange.com/serverfault/query/110083/…)
Apr 3, 2014 20:47
>snicker<
Apr 3, 2014 20:46
That's true-- I could manipulate my own rep by downvoting! Genius...
Apr 3, 2014 20:44
I went ahead and took my ceremonial screenshot at 99,992-- I don't think I'll see 99,999.
Apr 3, 2014 20:44
I think I did a 315 one day because of that.
Apr 3, 2014 20:43
Yep-- accepts don't get counted on the rep cap.
Apr 3, 2014 20:43
Who's hissing there, Mr. like-three-times-my-rep in the 1st quarter 2014? >smile<
Apr 3, 2014 20:42
I feel like some manipulation of my rep has taken place today... >smile<

@RyJones That's an edge case but, even then, I subscribe to the "developers need admin access but should work w/ limited user accounts for day-to-day use".
