I got it ! I got it ! Man, that one was HARD !

We've had a lot of success with our previous P2V conversions... but we never tried with DB severs.

10/10 ! I used Dameware at a previous job years ago, didn't think it had grown that much ! ...too bad I'm a week too late for the points and badge though... Currently doing the August mission... 6/6 + 1/1 bonus... it's a shame I'm not in the US (for the prize) but it's still a pretty nice way of learning about your…

yes pink_unicorn, it shows up correctly !

- Cost : I've seen products with a price tag attached to every little bits and parts, and intricate dependencies that made the purchase of a single module impossible, thus $$$. - Ease of use : I want to save time managing my network, not spend more time. If it's easier to fire up Excel and copy/paste data than it is to get…

Are you more concerned about actionable IT metrics and not concerned with the business impact? Business impact should be evaluated first as the role of IT is to support the business, not the other way around. What are the metrics that matter to you? anything that I can measure and allows me to either confirm past changes…

I'm not a big fan of blenders to be honest, but my wife would fall on herself seeing this... I may have found her next b'day present Though this would probably make the best bacon/garlic soup ever !

This is by far my worst run at a mission. Got last week all right but 50/50 the previous weeks... No Death Star for me. I must be a masochist, I'm still having fun doing it...

I never quite took the time to really master those tools. grep/egrep I'm ok with, but sed and awk would need a little work. Thanks for putting it back on my never ending to-do list I guess !

There a lot of them around here, huh... crazy people...

+1 for firewall rule informative naming

The "Maniacal Laugh" category might have been better called "Unnerving Silence"... With Darth Vader, Jason, Michael Myers and Sauron who are not of the maniacal laugh type... And "The Shark" in "Monologue" ?

Yes we do... I have bought games on Steam that I can't even play on my aging, not-at-all-gaming-laptop. And the kids need their own computer, it's starting to take too long before it's my turn... Go play outside kids !

Finally got it ! Was about about to pull the last of my already scarce hair on that one...

My birthday is on Sunday, even closer to the drawing, I guess it says it all...

Thought it was short for "Buttinski Set" after the inventor Seriously, french speaking techs call them "buttins" too, but I'm pretty sure most thinks they're actually called "bottines", which litterally translate to "ankle boots or booties", as "buttin" and "bottine" are pronounced the same.

Yes you did something wrong... you didn't read the rules : 3. 200 points will be awarded [...] * Points and badges will be applied to profiles once the mission has closed.

Looks fine on mine

What !?! There are prizes ?

Still doing the "behind the scene" thing of filling the tickets ourselves but once the migration to our new AD structure is done (new domain across all sites) then we'll integrate LDAP authentication and let people enter their own ticket. It's been accepted and well received by management, so the path seems clear... Now…

you're being obtuse ttl...

To which god (or goddess ? DanielleH ) should I pray to be one of the winners on Friday ? Yesterday, my second son (6 y/o) told me "I've heard they sell boxes of MTG cards on Amazon so I'll buy one for me when we receive the 500$ card !" Note the use of the "we", like in "we win, we share". I told him "But I haven't won…

Like entering a shop with a sign saying "This shop has camera surveillance"... you may not like it, but at least you know it's done.

Could have been a good idea to ditch Sideshow BOB and have a clean 32 contestants. He's not going to make it through the first round anyways.

Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?

TiffanyNels‌ We even have hashtags… #swbacketbattle and #EvilLaugh… I think you dropped an "R" somewhere... check under your desk.

My pleasure :

yeah, work gets really in the way sometimes

Nice ! But would that work on a Linux/Samba 4 AD domain ?

No, no... those are not chances of winning... they are percentages, just like you asked... be clear with what you ask... my random numbers generator is good but it can't read minds...
