No calls, in person desktop support. Think of generic IT guy.

Its the same pay scale as sysadmin and I'm tired of servers. Plus, old management changed and was hell. New place has better chance for moving up.

Dnw to be it guy. It's hard enough for me to explain how to work our new fax machine to some of the fucks at work. But they rather bitch about this new fandangled gadget than actually take 5 mins to educate themselves any.

Fuck that. My support specialist has been out this week and I've been doing his job. Fuckin thing sucks, gotta help people of varying skill levels with all manner of stuff, gotta walk across campus when it's 50mph winds and 14 fucking degrees out, etc.

**stonehenge** · 03-19-2015, 03:12 PM

Well the worst weather here is hot and we get golf carts lol

I'm just tired of servers and miss doing desktop.

Thats the worst part. Dealing with people who cannot even tell what a modem is or anything for that matter

**stonehenge** · 03-20-2015, 12:13 AM

that kind of stuff doesn't bother me

VmaxEngage · 03-20-2015, 12:27 AM

It will when you have to deal with it all day err day

**stonehenge** · 03-20-2015, 08:09 AM

I started in desktop and was cool with it. I only moved to sysadmin because the opportunity presented itself and I got along with the manager. Plus kinda wanted more Linux knowledge.

**stonehenge** · 04-08-2015, 04:22 PM

Still get scared during BIOS updates.

**stonehenge** · 04-15-2015, 06:29 PM

Skype for Businesses, dafuk is this trash

M.B Co · 04-15-2015, 09:55 PM

We use Jabber. Its odd

VmaxEngage · 04-16-2015, 01:35 AM

yea 365 is going with Skype

FTS high resource hoggin bullshit

**stonehenge** · 04-16-2015, 02:10 AM

Lync is becoming Skype for Bidness. They pushed the update to WSUS but didn't enable Skype so it did something weird. Lync opened and said Skype but had a popup that said "Your admins haven't enabled this so the program will now reboot and be Lync again"

It was enough to confuse users.

M.B Co · 04-17-2015, 05:38 PM

Let's data geek out.

What data analytic tools and dashboards do you guys use?

I got the update pushed to my work laptop yesterday. It works, still has the lync layout but the icon in the taskbar is for skype

WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Lol yeah, your server guys probably haven't enabled "Skype for Business" so it still says/shows Lync. Our icons stayed Skypified too.

Eventually MS will probably force Skype on us and it looks different but pretty much behaves the same. Idgaf

Chrome disabled Silverlight and a bunch of other plugins today. So if you have peeps who need it and can't figure out why it stopped working in Chrome all of a sudden, that's why.

Workaround is to enable it via flags (chrome://flags/#enable-npapi) but Google will remove that flag in September. So at that point, you use another browser if you want Silverlight. Foos should be using HTML5 anyway.

**theholycow** · 04-20-2015, 07:40 PM

Silverlight? Who the fuck ever used it?

I think I may have seen two sites that use it and one was a Microsoft site.

**stonehenge** · 04-20-2015, 07:50 PM

well I already found one department using some dumn software that needs it, I don't think we're going to enable the workaround because it will only last until Sept. Whoever makes that software needs to stop using Silverlight. immfo

VmaxEngage · 04-21-2015, 02:51 AM

chrome fucking stopped using java too

almost all of our monitoring uses java
