Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Sitting in my computer chair at the PC doing photo editing, nice and relaxed. As you do, when in the comfort of your own home, I'm giving it a bit of the old man leg spread, jeans rather snug on my nuts. Along comes the kitten, stretches himself up and starts sharpening his claws on my b*llocks.

****ing little ginger ****.

Same goes for the rest of System Centre. I work with the backend databases every day.

Actually, same goes for most modern Microsoft developed systems. The cynical side of me thinks they do it on purpose

MS bought most of system center, bundled it together and have barely touched it since. SCOM is a laughably sh*t monitoring platform - massively over-complicated, and the insistence that they know best just shows how impractical a product it is.

As for SCCM, we only use it for patching servers, not app releases, so God only knows what that must feel like. But for something that should ultimately be fairly simple (copy files to endpoint and run a script) it is offensively over-engineered, and isn't designed to work in secure networks.

Load of SH*TE.

I probably should've asked VM anyway - he knows SCCM better than I do.

We use it for PXE images, software deployment and MS updates and patches , I only thank f*** that I only deal with the day to day monitoring of this **** and not the config, as we are on an RLI , we can not connect directly to MS and have to go through a secure MoD connection making it a whole Satans hairy b*llocks level of shithousey worse
My primary task on top of this is McAfee EPO , people wonder why I am starting to give less than a f*** at work

Still use it a lot although I can see it eventually being retired in favour of Intune. Shame as I've worked with it for years and has always been my favourite 'specialist subject'.

Use SCOM as well but that is a different beast and can be way too complicated if its not set up properly.

Monitoring's one of my black belts and I think SCOM is completely unfit for purpose for anyone other than a very small setup.

I cannot believe we are discussing System Centre at nearly 10:30 on a Saturday night.

I think I need to start drinking again Image

Sorry, I've been covering monthly maintenance this weekend - the guy who normally does it's brother passed away last weekend, so I've been trying to keep things ticking over in his absence. Should be finished soon, thank God.

Also, my boss is leaving soon, and I need to make sure my reputation's as good as it could be before my next US-based boss rocks up.
