What Are You Doing Right Now
-
Had some pretty serious power issues over the weekend. Seems our primary site was down for a good 2-4 hours on Saturday night/Sunday morning. The UPS's made a valiant effort keeping the infrastructure running for over an hour.. but they failed fairly early in the morning and brought down the two hosts attached to them. Thankfully everything shutdown and rebooted gracefully when the power was restored (except for a small issue with a Linux box that was quickly remedied).

@coliver That sounds like a good way to start a Monday. People running around "It's broken! It's broken!"
You step onto a nearby podium: "It's not broken! Get to work!"

The hosts actually came back online at ~6AM Sunday morning. I was really impressed, no manual intervention required. As far as the majority of people are concerned we didn't have any issues when they came in this morning.
We did have a internet outage from 6AM-10AM as well on Sunday, which is when one of the two people that were working yesterday called me.

Just got "back" to Utica after the weekend away in Rochester hanging out with my dad.

Trying not to get myself in trouble over in Spiceworks for slightly modifying the Spaceballs theme on a thread....

Running around like a mad person installing a new exe on all of my end user machines that requires local admin rights to run.

Can't use PDQ Deploy?

Why? I would never do that. There's got to be a way to do it remotely even if you have to re-wrap the install.

Maybe he'll get back to us after he gets done, lol.

I don't know powershell - or have another tool currently in my knowledge base - please suggest free/cheap ones, happy to look.
I have deployed MSIs using GPO, and will ultimately do that here to, but I had to get this out there NOW. No time for learning something.

Playing with VMware now, trying to install Server for Jira service desk.

Hey @Joy how did your Jira set up go?

PDQDeploy's free version makes it very easy to deploy MSI files if the application installs are of the Next, Next, Next, Finish variety... . Their paid version (cheap) allows for more customization and other types of installers to be run.

Good morning! Didn't get a ton of sleep last night and it is dark and grey here today. Going to be a long morning.

We have some sun right now, but we are suppose to start getting some tropical energy from Bill I believe. So storms possible.
Little league season is over for us, last game was last night, with my son's team losing to my nephew's team. We've done really well (even though I openly admit I didn't think so) while being down nearly the entire season by two players. Outfield suffered all season long, we would have kept going as they fielded some awesome plays (out's at first no runs and four hits, 3 outs).

No sun here and major rain on its way.
