Yeah, worked from 10PM-7AM straight, tossed and turned for an hour before I got a call to work at 8AM, and I've been working since...

@Dashrender Makes me hungry for that sweet sweet advertising money. If only I was at all telegenic or entertaining.

Oh, and thanks @Dashrender !

@Aaron-Studer That looks like a good read. This information could also work for coworkers and customers.

Knowing how they tick is the trick to "working" with managers, coworkers and your customers.

I think I will check this out to see if it can help me understand some of my clients better.

Hard to see this as "attacking HBO." Netflix just made a show set in the middle ages. How is that a direct attack on HBO?

This was my question - I'm guessing it's possibly seen as attempting to steal viewers, but as I mentioned it really won't steal viewers since they are watchable easily at different times.

This isn't anything like the Stargate SG1 vs Firefly debacle (which Fox lost on tremendously, which is to bad because Firefly had the potential to be a huge show)

Firefly FTW!

I was a die hard SG1 fan - I wasn't going to not watch a show I loved to try a new show that was on at the same time (stupid Fox), which is, I'm sure, why it failed.

Firefly was so popular it spun to a theatrical movie - While it's short stink on TV might have spurred some additional appreciation it might not otherwise have gained, I'm willing to bet it would have made at least 3 seasons on Fox had they not put it in the same time slot as SG1

This should be baked into your images

Apparently the guy who was doing this wasn't the one who made the image

What exactly do is he do to setup the default profile? This will give you the answer if it can be done with GPO. Adding things like desktop icons are easy via GPO

Exactly.

You are agreeing with me, but you never answered my question.... 😛

Not sure on all exact settings. Is there anything that you'd be limited to doing this way that can't be done via GPO?

@IRJ That's why this is a community and not email 😉

Good luck with your deployment!

I am yet to organise my stuff properly but I have a few things up on SW that I found useful and have stuff scattered on my work PC.

I set up a blog that I am hoping to transfer a lot of my stuff to so that I have an easily accessible platform that I can link to if necessary.

The How-To's and Script area of SW should probably be more useful but people expect you to answer them if they post a reply to your script/how-to. That looks like it can get out of hand quite quickly.

Very few people do. Even in IT it is not well understood.

Yeah, I guess.

So what we ended up deciding to do, thanks to all the fine suggestions here, is to enable the new policies for passwords for both admins and users in their respective OUs and we are just going to let user passwords expire naturally and over the next 12 months, everyone will be moved to the new password requirements. Obviously all new hires will have it from the start. Thanks to everyone for your help in this! I really appreciate it!

Bring out the ol' bocket-o-slap and apply liberal servings to the post-it bandits.

I just assume whomever took the time to do this doesn't have anything better to do and that's sad.

This was awesome, and for anyone who does web design, which our perp does, from buying the domain to having the site up and running as it stands, 20-30 minutes is a reasonable estimate of how long it took. There's nothing to the site. Heck, YouTube gives you the code to embed the video. Piece of cake.

11 hours too late, but it sounds like you guys had it sussed back @nadnerB called it as a public folder + calendar. It probably would have taken me a little while to get to that point as well, since I don't do a lot with PS in Exchange (we have a very low volatility environment here) lately.

@scottalanmiller You missed kililng the quoted info. Don't give them the web crawler hits either.

Oops, got it.

Not often, but my LAN connection goes from my dock to a switch through Powerline adapters to my other main 8-port switch and then to the router. If something fails at any number of points along that way, it's handy to have the failover.

Congrats on intentionally disabling a setting that is designed to make your system work better.

Note that this IS a rollup, not a patch itself...

This November update rollup also includes all previous updates since our last image update in April 2014. This is a convenient single step to bring Windows clients and servers up to date.

I use CrashPlan, and while they do not directly support NAS, there was some information I read that you could map a drive letter from an administrator command prompt and then backup the NAS that way.
