Yes, but I can't very well rail against copy+pasta script kiddies here, and then copy+pasta my replies, now can I?

Did you just call sockbot a copy+pasta script?
/me takes a few steps back
-
No, I called myself anti CTRL+C/CTRL+V (or whatever the Apple CMD version of that is)

I just started getting emails from work about this. They always start 20 days out.
I don't know why anyone is complaining so far. My lovely corp gave me 4 whole days. It wasn't that long ago that they did it by logon count, and I got 3 whole logons to change it.
And they used two different logons for the email system. My email comes as coyne@wtfcorp.org and my Exchange domain is coyne@wtfcorp.net ? That's right: two different user names, in order to use Outlook. And the first time I sign into Outlook after the change, I use the .org version...and then Exchange complains it can't sign into the .org version (it never remembers the .net) and I have to remember to change it to .net when I sign into Exchange.
Worse, the network only screws up password migration like, every single time, requiring that I go into Control Panel and manually delete all the cached credentials.
(At least it's 150 days between changes.)

That's great, then they can be sure you won't remember the problems, and will waste even more time doing something meaningless.

Unless, I guess you might just be able to load an image onto the hard drive and have it already be set up as a domain PC.
That seems like more work than is worth doing. :)
Just to have it be on the domain? Sure I guess. But a lot of large organizations just load an image onto the PC anyway, so why not.
It doesn't work like that: when you join a computer to a domain, a computer account is created in Active Directory. This computer account has a password, which is known to the client. These passwords expire and are replaced when the client thinks it's time to do so.
The computer account is used, among other things, to determine which group policies apply to the object. An example use might be that any laptop which is placed in a "Portable devices" OU gets a group policy applied to it which automatically installs a location tracking service.
When you clone a Windows machine which has already been joined to a domain, things will seem to work fine initially but after some time problems will start to show up1. And once the computer account's password has been changed (by a different machine), users can't log on anymore because the connection between the machine and the domain is now broken.
If you ever want to clone a Windows installation onto a different machine (virtual or physical), you will have to sysprep it first.
-
Yeah, but stuff like WDS simplifies that a lot, since it automagically joins the domain when you install.
-
But WDS is made for the specific task of deploying Windows and all the peculiarities that come with it. But you're in for a surprise when someone uses a tool like Ghost to clone the disk of a master pc onto all other pc's in the network, and doesn't properly prepare the Windows installation for it.
-
Yeah, you have to sysprep it first, and then the image can be loaded onto other PCs, like I said.
-
Oh jeez, yeah that's not gonna work right at all... Yikes

Is that the period when Norton stuff hadn't gotten to being shit yet?

That sounds more like the time elfs lived among men

I just got a cal, it was 1996 and it wanted it's tool back.
If it ain't broken, why fix it?
