HP has managed to produce a machine that will not even attempt to display anything while headless, which makes out remote support softwares completely useless. Login, black screen, completely dead to us and unresponsive. Still running, but doesn't even attempt to display the desktop.
Fucking wonderful. It works while a monitor is hooked to VGA. Remote support software works then. Black screen when it is disconnected. Is there any cheap way to make it think that it has a monitor hooked up?
This is a known issue. Most Gen10 servers don't even play nice with KVMs.
Oh, and where it says:
Monitors or compatible KVMs connected via VGA: This is due to an out-of-spec condition observed on a number of vendor's KVMs. Either utilize a KVM that has been qualified or is found to operate appropriately, or update to the HPE Integrated Lights Out 5 (iLO 5) firmware version 1.35 (or later).
It does fuckall to fix the problem.
Nothing fixed it. Nothing except plugging in a monitor.
I installed a new video card. Fuckall.
I hooked it up to a KVM. Fuckall.
I plugged in a USB VGA adapter I had. Fuckall.
I ended up plugging in a fucking monitor because I was out of time to dick with it.
I never got around to making a USB dongle, or ordering one, but I am not holding out hope that it will work. The worst part is I would wager those fuckers did this just to sell ILO licenses, which we have on these machines. But they just won't attempt to display video unless an actual monitor is hooked to them.
Oh, and plugging in a monitor should be recognized and then make it work, right?
Nope. You have to reboot to get it working. If you plug in a monitor to the machine it does....fuckall. Black screen, monitor goes to sleep. Plug in a keyboard and mouse and spam keys to try to wake it up and....fuckall.
Fuck HP.

Server 2019
@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:
Changing it to delayed start did fuck all.
Huh, I've been having problems with 'delayed start' services just not starting on my Server 2019 VMs, I thought it was me.
I'm not having problems with just having a single DC though (unless services not starting is the problem....).

@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:
We have a server that every time it is rebooted it does not realize it is on a domain.
Yeah. I believe it's because "cannot contact a domain controller" because it's relying on DNS, and DNS hasn't started yet at the time of the attempt, and once Network Location Awareness decides something it's hard to ask it to try again.
@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:
I can only assume that it was only ever tested in environments with multiple DCs.
Naturally doesn't happen when you have multiple DCs since in theory at least one other DC running DNS is available.
@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:
The only bodge I could come up with is to schedule a task so that a few minutes after booting it bounces the NLA service.
Yeah....

Little WTF of my day: So, for today we had planned a school wide sports day. Several different activities.
Yesterday we had to cancel said event because our weather service strongly recommended doing so, due to forecasting heavy rain sideways.
Fast forward to today: A very light drizzle for about 15 minutes.

Agreed. It's absolutely none of website A's business whether I'm logged into website B. That the browser allows this information to leak between domains is a YUGE .

But point taken,
This is we're (circuitously) talking about! Double down!

@boomzilla I love getting assigned duplicate issues. I can take a day off and mark it done.

Antivirus or banking trojan, what's the difference?

@LaoC Hm, now I'm however wondering how they do this. Most pages are TLS these days. The browser verifies the server identity itself, so it can't be done in the network stack—unless the software installs a re-signing cert, which is much bigger security hole still. The only normal way to do it is with a plugin, which I remember Kaspersky does install in browsers. However, most browsers by default don't run plugins in incognito mode, so it shouldn't be affecting that (but maybe Kaspersky configures them to run; it can be done), nor it should be affecting any browsers that don't support plugins or that Kaspersky does not know how to install them there (but I guess they only tested with mainstream browsers)…

I bet this is what they do, otherwise they couldn't deliver on their promise of scanning all web traffic for 3v1lz at all.

Our company kicked Kaspersky when the most important customer (which is based in Minnesota) did some time after that affair with US Government, so I can't check any more. But I suspect the plugin more; what would it be there for otherwise?

Deploying Server 2019 was a mistake. I should have known better. Never deploy a Microsoft product until it has had a year to mature because it is total shit right out of the gate.
Normally I'd agree, but Window Server 2019 is just Windows Server 2016 Service Pack 1...

If this is a physical server, I'd check your NIC drivers & also check the connection to the switch to ensure the NIC is coming up before Windows starts, that way DNS & ADDS can start before the Delayed Start services come up.

How is your DNS configured on that and other DCs?
Perhaps you misread what he wrote:
@Polygeekery said in WTF Bites:

The definition of "sole", for those who may not speak English:
Now,
being the only one; only:
domain controller at that location, it would follow that there are noother DCs

@blek Update time! I just checked in because originally the site and e-mail said the new system would be ready "sometime in August". Now it says the same thing except with September. I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
The really great part is that something apparently went wrong because I never got charged for service at the flat I briefly registered at - but I can't access the customer portal so I can't fix it because I have no information. I sure as shit hope they sue me over the ~20 dollars I probably owe them at this point before their system is back up. Christ.
Oh and by the way, I was at a party a few weeks back and a guy I was talking to turned out to be an employee of the Great Satan. Apparently this whole shitshow is happening because they own a part of the grid and provide end-user service at the same time, and there's some kind of new-ish law that says these two divisions must be completely separate, so they're basically cutting their entire internal system in two. There are supposedly hundreds of people working on this. I wonder how many tens of percents of those hundreds people are managers.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
The reason any DC, SOLE or not, may not figure it's on a domain is usually broken DNS configuration.
"usually" huh? Bro let me regale you on how many KBs have little to do with DNS...

warning: operation on ‘data’ may be undefined [-Wsequence-point]
That doesn't sound good. Let's look at the offending code:
*data = --(*data);

Apparently.
I found this page on their site just now.
http://chassepot.com/the-story-of-c1000
Joe, the creator of the C1000 keyboard project, is a human-computer interaction engineer who has created many classic human-computer interaction interfaces and is also a passionate esports fan. He often feels pain when endlessly switching between an ergonomic keyboard for work and a mechanical keyboard for gaming at home.
Joe thinks this horror makes that pain less?
Joe is clearly an idiot.The arrangement of keys in conventional keyboards is clearly unreasonable.
"Hello, Pot? Yeah, it's Kettle..."
However, 60% of keyboards eliminate too many functions, which is why many well-known esports players love small keyboards. They also use a numeric keypad, but this makes the gaming table’s surface very disorganized.
Is this suggesting that people deliberately get keyboards without numpads and then add external numpads?
After 32 months of continual data comparisons, experiments, revisions, and reconstructions, we finally have the fully new Chassepot C1000 to display for you.
Money well spent, I'm sure.

@TimeBandit I think that label was a late addition, as I saw a documentary the other day showing the shortcut keys with icons instead of text.
