Today was an extremely busy day. We were having some issues with computers not being able to find the domain this morning, and I assumed they were just machines that hadn’t been configured properly. It turns out that our primary domain controller had shit the bed. The AC went out in our server room over the weekend, well there are about 25 servers in our server room and combined with the fact that the AC went out……. I think we fried the single 10/100/1000 Fiber channel NIC that was in there. So it turns out that all of our DHCP scopes are set up on only one of our domain controllers so if a machine looses its lease on a IP it won’t be able to acquire a new one, thus not being able to connect to the network. ALSO one of our Exchange Nodes has been freaking out and using about 30-80 percent CPU utilization while idle. It turns out one of the four processors was a mismatched stepping so we had to pull it and then all was good.
Things have been going very well around the apartment lately. I finally ordered my new desk which should be here tomorrow, along with our new 5.8GHz phone system. So now we are just waiting on our bedroom furniture to be delivered from Z Gallerie and our new DVD rack (working on filling up our third one).
I’m getting excited about going to Vegas next week to watch Howard Stern. I just hope that we can curb our spending for a week or so, that way we can afford to have some fun. I can’t wait to sit out by the pool at the Hard Rock, or playing blackjack while in the pool and drinking a rum and coke. How sweet is that?
And just to be like loads of other bloggers……
Seacrest OUT.
