Hello - what a great way to start the day - one of our sites has no internet access.
They don't need to be on Facebook so early anyway....
LOL -
OK this one was my fault - but of course the complete lack of basic troubleshooting just astonishes me. Plus the fact that the down site loves to call EVERYONE except the one person who's job it is to fix these issues.
The fault was that I removed a bunch of equipment from the location last night and must have unplugged the cable modem from the firewall while doing so. Plugged it back in, and tada, everything worked.
As for my troubleshooting comment - I have them walk through this equipment every time they have an issue, yet still they don't bother to check before freaking out.

You need some network monitor software to tell you about it before users even know!

ACK - Violation of IT Rule #1!!!!
Never admit you broke something ! You were performing a disaster test..
Yea,.. been there and done that. (xxx) doesn't work. Did you check with everyone else? Uhmm... No.

I flip a light switch the other day in our IDF for one of the Plants, I instantly took out the whole Plant on the network. Yep it through the breaker and since use large (40kva) UPSes they are behind the breakers!
-
When your bonus is more than your last jobs salary was, well that's just awkward. Not complaining.

Just had dinner. The kids are heading down to the pool for a bit and I'm staying behind to be able to concentrate on work without so many interruptions.

aaaannnnndddd it's done
No issues so far.Although it did take a while for the start menu to become usable. I hope that isn't a recurring issue.
-
@nadnerB I had that problem too. After my first boot, it took about 5 minutes before I could even search the start menu. That was aggravating.
-
Learning something interesting..
-
-
@coliver Yea, probably. All my apps seem to work, so that's a big plus. Even my old Vanilla WoW install seems to play better than it did before.
-
Worked on Chef and NVM stuff until the wee hours of the morning. So just getting up and getting started now.

Trying to decide whether to continue to get RemoteApps to work from VDI or give that up and just say it's full-desktop VDI only...
