If it was found by AI so I asked AI if I needed to update. It said yes so it must be hallucinating

Just figured i’d start here cause I’m a shitty sys Admin. Anyway I run a 365 tenant and would really like to force or add all of the employee photos to their profile. All employees get a badge which requires a picture. Any issues with just throwing those pictures into 365 with their profile.

Last year, there were a lot of internet problems around October and November could this be another round of them? This time even the big brother google join the party 🤣

I knew there were issues starting when the DNS server went down. I think that led to all the servers mistrusting their connections since they couldnt see who they were talking to.

After that, the website went down for 4 days, I dont know what fixed it, but it was probally that mistrust starting.

And now im seeing "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."

Any ideas?

I consult with my patch panel instead.

Don't you love it? I don't even talk to my boss anymore. I just have ChatGPT write the emails for me. It's like I haven't been to work in weeks!

But her son does IT security for the DOD, gas, electric, and water companies.

We have an unwritten internal policy where we try not to give new joiners the same first name as someone in upper management.

For example, if our CEO’s name is Don and a new hire is also named Don, we politely ask whether they have a middle name they normally use. Alternatively, if their name is long enough, we may use a shortened version for their email address.

I also know someone in the office who is referred to by their middle name at work, even though their friends call them by their first name.

Is this an ego thing from upper management, and are we, Shitty Sysadmins, allowing this practice to continue?

I'll start. We have one genius who notoriously never responds to any of your questions after submitting a ticket, but as soon as you close it, she immediately emails you saying the issue is still ongoing and the ticket shouldn't have been closed.

And if you somehow manage to get her attention and find a time to look into the issue, the moment things start working for her, you'll never hear from her again. Not even bothered to confirm if it works after you've explicitly asked her to do so just so you can close the ticket.

We can always hope...

I can't say I've ever lost a loved one in a server crash. That's a new one for me. Posting here because it's interesting even if weird. Maybe don't be shitty in the comments.
