 @JaredBusch said in What Are You Doing Right Now: Enjoying my response to a fake audit. They sent this to a person with no admin access or history. They also cc another user that is barely computer literate, and my admin account. All they did was say "Hello."

  These are from a firm that pays MS for access to their system to "Consult" on your licensing. Pretending to be an audit.

 But then again, i've never gotten an email directly from microsoft before.

 so on the "aloha forum" this guys just asked this question : (basically) Hey I'm trying to load /16 subnet on the server, I should be able to load /23 subnet on the terminals. here's his example: 
  Now, I'm obviously not done with my network + videos and what have you on learning, but is this possible to do in a network? for the screenshot RAL=Radiant Auto Loader, it's an automated software that will set all the information for the terminals rather than manually configuring them, saves time and billable hours, but has many issues.

 @WrCombs What's the aloha forum?

 @WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now: but is this possible to do in a network? Yes. It is weird to do for anything in your sized environments, but perfectly normal networking.

 I probably should have started my own thread about this.

 Use this website to play with CIDR networking.. 
 http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.phpYou can see that the 192.168.1.0/23 can access anything from 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.1.255 which falls within the 192.168.0.0/16  
  The thing to be aware of is that anything in the /23 and only access the stuff int the /23 range. so they default gateway of the /16 better also be within the /23 But then knowing how much you fucked around with networks with no gateway, this guy likely is going realyl weird.

 Going over the new managing containers objectives from RHCSA.

 my suggestion was to make sure the gateway was on /23 subnet and this was his response

 Celebration time!!!! FINALLY got a lump sum payment from my short term disability insurance!!! They have been fucking me around for months trying to deny my claim. They still owe me 3 weeks, but at least I can breathe again. And I've been going to band rehearsal, feeling way more positive about playing music and life in general.
