rofl no, I only installed it on the craptop to try it out. So far I've heard nothing about W8 that makes it something I want to use regularly. Underneath the Metro crap I think it's essentially W7 (with a few changes I'm sure) so I don't really see any reason that you would NEED to upgrade. Especially in a business situation. I know we don't want all our users having Metro and Tiles and no start menu and shit. Just more crap for them to be confused about.

I'm just now getting the last of my XP machines weeded out and replaced with W7. while XP is awesome, i've found 7 to be just as reliable. and way more user friendly to IT peeps

Every time I ran into WinME, it was a POS. Didn't feel stable at all. Looks wise it was W95/98 but they did something behind the scenes that made it behave like shit, at least in the experiences I had. Quote:

Fuck that lets replace it with a fullscreen menu w/ fgty tiles everywhere W9: will probably suck since they won't get rid of the tile shit Haven't used or looked into Server 2012 yet, I wonder if it has a start menu or something else instead of the stupid tiles. I see no use whatsoever for the tile interface on a server. Seems even more ratard/useless than putting it on laptops/desktops. The only place the tile interface makes any sense at all is on a touchscreen imo.

Don't you remember the same thing with Windows 95 and the Start menu replacing Program Mangler? That worked out ok. More recently, they decided that in Orifice we shouldn't be allowed to have a menu bar so they replaced it with the ribbon. Fucking thing sucks. Quote:

Compared to what?
The AIX database server at the same place was solid as hell.

Ok so I've asked this before but I'm asking it again. What are you doing for backup?
I've really had enough of Symantec BackupExec. It's simply a turd. It never works for long and it never provides useful error messages. It provides the same error almost every time, which could mean any of thousands of problems (literally!) and has certainly meant plenty of different totally unrelated problems for me.

on windows boxes were just doing robocopy with scripts/scheduled tasks and on linux boxes were using rsync.
also using shadowcopy on the windows fileserver data drives to make recovering deleted/changed files easier, although the shadow copies aren't backed up by robocopy, just the live data. ---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ---------- a program like backup exec makes things "easier" since you have it all in one place and no scripts to mess with or logs to keep track of in several places, but yeah we've used it in the past and hated it

A program like BackupExec makes it easier..."like".
Yeah, we really need a modern professional style system with support and a good interface. I would actually prefer just using a scheme like that most of the time.

Main sysadmin takes care of all the rsync shenanigans (although I watch the logs for our main DC) and I take care of all the robocopy stuff.
Trying to figure out why backing up one share is giving me errors that make no sense even though the script is exactly like all the others that are working

Hey IT folks I would to ask for some VBA/excel help.
Here is the background. 2 spreadsheets
The 100+ lines containing a facility ID number such as "208976" The 7000+ lines spreadsheets contains columns such as "Facility 208976", "Waste profile" etc I need to compare the 100+ lines (numbers) to the 7000+lines (facility column). Thus, filtering the 7000+ lines of data for only the facility numbers of the 100+ facility numbers. Any help?

you'll have to do a little clean up of data so you are comparing apples to apples
With the 7000 are the facility numbers all 6 digits long? In new column type =right(oldcolumnnumber,6) that will pair it down to just the number. In 100 line spreadsheet do VLOOKUP. check help for proper syntax |
