12 floppies was with all the extra drivers. I could never figure out why the last disk was always the first to break. So, you'd go through 30 minutes of DJ'ing disks only to find the last one was broken. Never the first one. Never..... I wonder if that was one of the first hidden features? Like the hidden Windows features:…

When one dares to use the "c" word around here our security guys feel a disruption in the force. I don't deal with the security aspect at all but from a monitoring stand-point it doesn't seem all that bad. Unfortunately, by the time we get around to actually using the cloud they'll be something better. Who knows, maybe…

Congrats to the winners. Hope y'all have a blast in Austin.

Great read, thanks adatole​. Especially for mentioning WordPerfect. That was my first certification that I had "WordPerfect for DOS". Did I ever really need it? No. Did it get me out of installing 100 of copies of WordPerfect? Yep. I got to sit back and do r & d (well as much r&d as one could really do with WordPerfect)…

Thanks for the links. I'm right there with you about the AOL employees. 500 has to be a large part of the entire company these days. The webcam link reminds me of the days when "Active Desktop" was new and people would junk up their desktop with random webcams.

Good read and nice graphics. Thanks

I was in the top 40 yesterday and today I am 17055th.

Thanks. We'll make this mandatory reading for any newbs.

Decisions, decisions !!

Best face palm was running ipconfig /release via RDP. ooops. Field tech is en-route.

Thanks for the reads as always. I did a clean Windows 10 install over the weekend and the parts of Powershell that I use work fine. Maybe it only breaks via the update? Wouldn't we expect Pokemon Go numbers to drop now that school has started again in the US? I figured the largest group of players are somewhere between 1st…

This has been a fun Bracket Battle. It had plenty of controversies and I bet no one called this final match-up. Thanks wabbott​

I'm right there with y'all. The program did exactly what it was told to do which makes it a useful tool if used correctly. This should definitely have been tested in some sort of test environment first. I like Jfrazier‌s point about the peer review. We meet twice a week to run new scripts and monitors by each other before…

Here's the link I was able to use. http://ineinc.cmail20.com/t/d-l-jutrjjl-hlkylldll-tr/ If that doesn't work, send me a message with your email address and I'll forward you the email.

Thanks but that link redirects to the same blocked page for me.

I'm still seeing the same message using any browser.

Still seeing this error in 2023.1 GA.

Thanks guys for looking in to this. I had realized that it was using the manageuntil date as a time period when the last parameter is set to True but hadn't found time to go back and test. The reason I wanted to use True was because I wanted it to go in to maintenance when the script runs. I will just schedule the script…

To show the output I just ran the script and this is the result: It appears to add various amounts of time to the UnManage_Until value. This time instead of adding 90 minutes it added 11 hours and 40 minutes.

I got it. One has to enclose the whole bracket part in brackets like this WHERE aa.AlertObjects.EntityCaption like '%port-channel%[[%N%]]%' so basically double brackets. @"christopher.t.jones123" thanks again for the response

Thanks for the prompt response. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I tried that too but it doesn't return anything.

It'll be tough to diagnose the exact problem from just that message. I would look at the Config Wizard logs @ C:\ProgramData\Solarwinds\Logs\Orion\ConfigurationWizard.log for more details.

I don't find "All alerts this object can trigger" to be very accurate. I usually use SWQL Studio and run the query you can get from the alert Trigger Condition by clicking the little drop down and "Show SWQL".

I know this is an old thread but where did you find the XML files that store the discovery plugin configuration?

I have a function that will do a new node and discover the interfaces. I'll add Volumes to it and get it uploaded to Github on Monday. I hear a weekend calling my name.

Gotcha. v2 and v3 are very different. I have a v2 function that copies a node from one Orion build to another. I used it to migrate from an old build to a new one when the old couldn't be upgraded. Let me make some changes to it so it just adds a new node and I'll get that to you.

Which one are you using? If it's Powershell, I might can help.

I've seen issues with "Scope" in AD where groups are set to local but the whole AD environment spanned multiple domains so the scope needs to Universal or Global. Also, bad or old certificates on the server can cause log in issues. Add yourself to a group and try logging in to the UI on the actual web server or the main…
