What is this odd phrase? Do those words go together like that? Or is this a translation of some idiom badly translated into english?

Agreed,.. thin only good ad is the one I never see, hear, or read….

I love the blank placeholder on the Roku home screen. PiHole FTW.

Had to shut mine down - interfered with game play on certain iOS games... because - shitting games.

@NHCSAdmin said in Eaton Rack Mount 5P: power on issue:

@gjacobse Is the power input set to the correct voltage? We ran into something similar with the 9p line where the power from the street was 208 but of course the generator was at 240. With the UPS set to 208 and the batteries not at 100% it would not turn on while the UPS was running. We found it out the hardway when the power went on and the generator did not kick on and the batteries drained down. Then the generator repair tech got the generator on but it didnt matter since we couldnt turn on the unit since it was set to 208. Confirmed it with Eaton and all.

That's a good call - but sadly no.

I pulled it out of the rack - thankful for the use of a lift as pulling it down from twelve-fifteen feet up on a step-ladder would have been no joy.

Walked it across the warehouse and plugged it back in and noticed that the reported state of charge on the battery was 88%.

Wait, what now? you lost twelve percent, powered off and no load while I walked across the building? That can't be right.

Unit's going back RMA as failed..

@gjacobse Could just need new batteries maybe one of the cell's is low

While possible- it’s a new unit.

But might have been on a shelf for a while?

True,
Pulled it down and testing it… likely will need to exchange it. Reset, pulled the battery,.. still doesn’t want to turn on… but you clearly hear it ‘running’ while charging.

Not used the Eaton line much over the years, mainly been APC models.

We have a number of Eaton devices at the site that I will be, and found that one doesn’t seem to want to power on.

Once plugged in, the LCD prompted for initial setup; Language and such. Pressing and holding the Power button has powered most of the devices, but I have one that fails to do so and I am working on some troubleshooting items.

On plug in, the battery shows 87%,.. when I left it showed 90%. Pressing the Power-on resulted in a beep and Status icons to flash once: Power on, On battery, Alarm.

And nothing. I’m assured that the power is live at the outlet - else why would it appear as charging. But I had no tools to test, and honestly - rather difficult from a six foot ladder when the cage is at twelve feet and the outlet at fourteen…

Wondering if someone with more experience with Eaton has seen this before - and if it is an indicator of something in error. It’s not listed in the manual that I have found thus far.

I would unjoin and rejoin to the domain. Be sure to reset the the password for local administrator before unjoining. I would also make sure the NIC is only looking at an internal DNS server for DNS. Not sure what happened with the computer account, but possibly it was deleted at some point.

Yup, just did and it worked. We never had the local admin, but with our tools we can make a new one which we did, no issues

Yup,.. fun ability. Did that with a pc or three,… kept the same CMD syntax for several computers… of course the remote agent has to work, be connected AND allow for CMD..

@scottalanmiller said in Windows 10 Workstation Cannot Be Accessed via RDP with Other User Error:

Okay, discovered that the computer does not have an account on the domain controller, at all. Yet the computer thinks that it is a member of the domain. Pretty fishy.

We would see this at the clinic where a computer (laptop) was taken home, or forgotten in a drawer and left unused for months. Policies, scripts or attrition, the computer would fall off the domain.

While it COULD be rejoined, I’d image it as a precaution…. And ‘lesson’ to the end user.

Got a new, stainless steel french press this morning... So I'm about to take her for a spin.

Spin?
Make up your mind,… is it a press or a spin….. maybe you push it?
Just push it,… push it real good.

Has anyone that uses Teams seen the 'Praise' button be used for anything BUT sarcasm?
Might just be my team

Yes, the clinic wanted a way to ‘track’ positive employee to employee praise.. so, maybe the idea was some sort of reward for the highest amount at the end of a quarter,… not that I saw it used that way.

@jt1001001

Thank you, about what I expected…. Just needed confirmation.

I am very much still getting use to the new office and its policies and how things are being done… One thing I had gotten away from at the clinic was building user accounts using ADUC. Here we start with mail.domain.com - Exchange Online.

Should I not be able to do the same thing I was with the clinic and use PS to create the user in EO and go from there? Seems logical anyway,…

Yet - it would only need to be a stop gap measure as we employ a HR site called Workday. They plan is to integrate Workday directly into AD and when HR builds the user, it builds the AD user, we would need to still apply the needed permissions, but all the other routine items would be already completed.

So, I don’t know how much time I want to invest in something - just curious and confirming what I feel.

TIA.
