I received
a phone call
this morning
waking me up
at
the
ungodly hour
of
8am
ok
it was a little
after 8am
like maybe
a quarter past
but
close enough
for government work
step forward
All hell has
broken loose
About
1000 computers
are getting
funky duplicate name
errors and are
being denied
login rights
step forward
Start looking
for a domain trust issues
cause
these machines belong
to one domain
while the users
belong to
another
step forward
turns out
the is a WINS/DNS entry
for a machine
as the domain name
track it down
trace the ip
the machine
is part of
another domain
and named nothing close
step forward
check wins/dns
domain resolves
to that same prior individual machine
cant be that
step forward
turns out
some fucking putz
did a manual host entry
on one of the servers
mapping
the domain in question
to some way fucked IP
step forward
so now
nothing works
and
everyone is
chewing our asses
cause of
some dumbfuck
in
ITGLand
step forward
have the
entry delete
cause
even though
we run the domain
ITG wont give us
admin rights
some dumb ass sure
but not
the ppl who actually
support it
step forward
they delete
the incorrect entries
and
now
we
wait
wait
wait
wait
wait
for it
to
replicate
