I think I failed most of those doing the DBS check so I know I am safe.

Anyone else get clobbered by the AWS authentication outage this morning? Knocked out our automated monitoring for every customer in North America, so that was a fun 90 minutes until they got it working again 😂

Couple of weeks work and several grand of research grant money down the swanny, thanks to Microsoft forcing an update midway through the analysis run. By the time it'd finished f**king around the samples were ruined.

Not me, I just house the machine in one of my Labs. Things been nothing but trouble.

Could it not have been offline? For any serious local number crunching, we isolate 🤷

Take it offline for any work like that or force stop the updates completely

 

[andybond]

MS doesn’t force updates.
Your box either checked in with MS and updated or SCCM set a deadline , or a group policy was defined to check in , update and reboot.

It breaks down all the time and they need to access the machine, pull the log files and try to rescue data 🤦‍♂️

It's not ours, it's here on trial so none of us are in a position to fiddle with the configuration.

May god have mercy on my stress levels today, ask one of the lads to set a static ip on a remote machine
for some unbeknownst reason he's logged onto a firewall in the lab and starts looking at the static routes.
The decided to star the ip range under a 169.254
Bearing in mind he's been self studying Network+ and ICND for the past 12 months.

Just got a WDS Server to wipe 500 client machines, then install Windows 11 OOBE with autopilot ps script to auto provision it.

Feel proud of it, but we are not doing the rollout. Good luck PS - Client wants it rolled out by October and have a 1:1 device swappage in place.

Anyone had much hands on with Windows365?
our digital leadership has decided it’s the silver bullet to solving our platform issues.

Project Managers

Asked them to order a new phone system, our procurement team ran into an issue and the PM advised them to use a domain for a different customer instead 🤦‍♂️ Now the customer has to be deleted and remade.
