Why don't you have access to the logs (without the need of IT) ?

Just the way that we have it set up currently. Will change eventually but we haven't gotten around to it.

Sounds like you need centralized logging.

We do, it's not turned on at the moment, which is why I'm waiting on my IT to enable it.

Good morning @dbeato

Just found my old Nokia Lumia 920. Scrolling through all the pictures on it is like going back in time a few years.

Morning all y'all!

You should bury that thing in a time capsule, along with it's charger! ha ha.
-
@eddiejennings Yeah I have been on that as well since 8 AM.

I know. That phone was great back in the day. I used that thing hard, took it on many international trips, dropped it many times, and it just kept ticking.

Fixing Yealink T42S config files. I realized I mis-numbered the line keys.

Found out that one of our big customers got boned by ransomware. They wanted us to take a backup of their production data (SQL databases, mdf, ldf, bak, blah blah blah) and move it over to our network while they recovered or reimaged. Our dev manager called me over to look at something he thought a bit odd... turns out, whatever strain this is DELETED the live production database folder and encrypted all the files everywhere. I thanked him for spotting that before we started to transfer stuff, because all of it is useless. I can't even figure out what strain it is from the file extensionS (.myransext2017), but I told him I hoped their offsite backups work (if they have actually been keeping up with those).
So happy this falls under the heading "not our circus, not our monkeys".
-
@rojoloco but at least you get to charge them to fix the issue, right?
Assuming they have offsite backups. . .

Grabbing a copy of the data (were it not infected) is all we're on the hook for. We don't do IT services at all, we build and host tax assessment software. They have their own IT department, we were mostly just trying to be helpful when they started whining. But since it's all useless data now, they get to start over. All their backups are on them. We sometimes pull a backup copy for testing stuff, but that's all.
I'm glad I don't have to listen directly to their cries of agony over the next few days. Whatever infected them also broke the hell out of Vipre endpoint software.

@rojoloco Ah.
What tax software do you guys build and host?

It's our own product, for property tax assessment. GIS integration, CRM system, iPad app, etc. Windows product, so everyone here can hate on it.
We only host for certain customers, some run it in house. Only the big counties/municipalities need the speed/bandwidth of our hosting.
