    It’s time for another exciting edition of WIR! This week was filled with updates! Rolled updates to our Domain Controllers and one of them took nearly two hours to come back from a reboot! Normally not a big deal, but when your 30mi away…a little stressful! I also rebuilt my work laptop this week, earlier this year I had done something stupid with an external drive and wound up with Windows installed on Partition 2, on a disk with just one partition! Needless to say, rebooting my laptop didn’t happen all that often at all!

    Still a lot of programming this week, but like I said before I think anymore that is more the norm than not. We did some interesting Active Directory stuff this week. We had a handful of servers get their AD objects deleted at some point, and we found out about the beginning of this week. Now my guess is these were deleted close to about 3mo ago, and they either rebooted recently or attempted to change their password recently.

    Another very productive week! Spent a lot of time on Operations Manager, and getting the Low-Privilege SQL Monitoring to work. There appears to be a problem with how the MP calculates PLE and is using data and advice that is now about 10yrs old, so I disabled that monitor.

    This is one I’ve had on the back burner for a while, so yesterday morning I roughed up the basic framework for a PowerShell module. I have a few Runbooks at work, that it would be super cool to just run from PowerShell, and since lately I’ve been all up in the web services this was as good a time as any.

    Well it’s been forever since I’ve written anything interesting so now is as good a time as any. Recently we were informed we needed to start keeping track of time spent on projects and since this is something I did for a couple of years at the School of Engineering, it’s not too difficult for me to get back into the swing. Although this go around I went with more of a journal style, not sure I like it but we’ll see.
