Wow this hurricane really brought out the crazy on SW.

Proof?

Went through the 4 steps and everything worked out great.
all of these showed excellent results.
Verify Replication Summary.
repadmin /replsum
Showing Replication
repadmin /showrepl
Any DC's acting as a Bridgehead for other remote sites
repadmin /bridgeheads
DC Diag
dcdiag /v (checking overall health of the domain)
Dcdiag /e /test:sysvolcheck /test:advertising

Test email to the exchange server worked great.

We don't restrict the "personal" devices in any way, it's a user device, the user manages it.

MDM my friend. MDM.

@DustinB3403 context?

User, with company provided cell phone is complaining that there is an APP that is causing pop-ups.

Firstly, we only provide the line of service and hardware, secondly, delete the app. . .

Like wtf

Nope, no need for MDM. They just buy the phones for them, they don't manage them. Not IT's issue to maintain the device. Hopefully that is documented when they get the phone.

Everything is humming along fine. Only thing I can see that changed is that the backups (hourly continuous) on one of the older DC's that is also a file server for CAD engineers is very very busy and get the VSS lock pausing replication. the error just says it paused for backups or restores. My only concern with that is replication issues leading to tombstone. I want to try and get them to approve pulling the DC role from it and making it a seperate DC at that remote site. It is delayed for a while since its pushing through a site to site vpn.

Recovery is easy

How are you feeling?

I am doing reall well. Only sore/numb on left side of mouth.
Pain is nothing. I'll sell pills to highest bidder
(NSA, that's a joke)

I got a Sysvol out of sync warning on one of the older DC's that will be going away. Meh, it is going offline for a week this weekend anyway to verify nothing else breaks. DHCP was moved. Static DNS on the member servers were updated. no critical apps.
My guess is that some network equipment might point to it.

Using Robocopy to copy buttloads of SQL backups to a new file server.

Yup in 24 hours it will be offline for a week, then powered back up and demoted. We need to see what breaks before demoting. No need to spin wheels to try and fix it.
All replication test I have done are clear except for the vss backup issue.

New logo is up, boy does that look better!

Haven't seen it yet....

Hit F5

Wrong. Alt F4 repeatedly.

Created a bogus GPO

saw it add on all the sysvol folders.
had to refresh for it to show on the other server.
No permission mis match error.
Deleted GPO.
Gone from all.
So we can say that Sysvol is happy on all 3 servers.
Now here is to hoping the backup pause errors go away.

From my wife just now:

"I am running out to do some errands
my shopping list is interesting:
Tequila
bath salts
Dog Christmas treats"

Is there another "Christmas" party I was previously unaware of?

The joys of empty nesting I assume?

THis will be shared with the teams tomorrow.

Alexa! I have been shot, send help

@scottalanmiller So, are you posting this because something happened while you were traveling? Suddenly, a wild lice appeared in Liesl's hair? Maybe that AirBnB wasn't such a great idea? Cleanliness is on par with their attitude regarding WEP?

Why you gotta be hating on WEP? I like having free WIFI.

When someone claims to be a security guy for a company and the guest wifi is on WEP on a flat network....
Noodle scratcher there....

Ah........
The First, Last, and Display Name are the same.
I just remembered that putting some on Lit Hold in the past, I wasn't able to until I changed one of them to a different display name.
Its all due to the Display Name I bet.

Vipre didn't remove Symantec cloud sep agent properly on a machine at a remote site that is used for a dev build machine, wish me luck tonight!
