      RHCE practice time going over handling errors. Alas, this evening saw me drawing a blank on some syntax. 😞

            I'm guessing they can't or don't know how to enforce the execution policy to remote signed for example, and are instead using actually unsecure methods to manage.

              I'm still curious as to their specific worry.

                Killed one of our dell switches last night, well can't ping/access it after a OS update.
                Got our MSP looking at why some ESXi servers can't see the SAN as there was a 2nd switch. Can ping everything hosts & SAN but they're just not talking. they set it up so they can fix 🙂

                  Someone screwed up SAN failover switching, gasp, what a surprise.

                  Sorry for the snark while you're dealing with the aftermath.

                    Might not be 100% them, it might be due to the Dell Certificate issue as someone failed to update the switches before yesterday.

                      Trying to get work scheduled so that I can actually get it off of my plate. Gah I hate it when things drag on.

                      Of course some of these changes are going to have breaking impacts to workflows....

                        Laughing my ass off at red tape. Get a project. Reach out to specific vendors and get get the pricing and options. List four good options, with a #1 recommendation suitable for us. Get together with the C levels, and get it shot down as 'C' levels want to verify what we actually need from the options (which I did already). C levels spend several weeks in meetings, internally, externally... and come back with the exact same #1 recommendation. Pfft.

                          Hopefully you didn't suck(er)ed into sitting in the several weeks of meetings, lol.

                              shaking my head again at a process that I've made a suggestion on how to 'fix'

                              Several of the POS card scanners have an issue with the Windows Service stopping. Have to remote to the desktop to restart them...

                              Has to be a better way and one that doesn't keep requiring Human intervention which may take 5-20 minutes depending on IT availability.

                                Powershell script that runs once a minute (or once every x minutes) to check the service and restart it if needed?

                                        What about having the service auto start on failure?

                                          It is already set to auto start on failure. just that it fails enough it stops.
