But, But, It's a DRY Heat .....I just had to be funny!!! these young whipper snappers crack me up. i wonder what he would say if he lived out here when it gets 115-120 out
I'd love to just Leave it ...You are unaliving the poor innocent greenery of God!
I believe there's someone here who can teach you how to grow bamboo….
Yesterday I was looking through the hard drive I'll be cleaning out on an old desktop PC I'll be dropping off at the local electronics recycling bin. When I ran across my old login to the corporate servers where I used to work, I was amazed to find out after 20 years retired that it still worked! I could have done anything I wanted to the servers including wiping the drives or powering everything off. I sent an email to the current CEO suggesting he have a chat with the current systems administrator about system security. I wonder if my old door and alarm system codes still work.
What you probably had was a cached credential on your hard drive. Chances are it let you in locally but if you had tried to reconnect to your old company to inflict your delayed "reign of terror" that it wouldn't connect for multiple reasons.
Congratulations on your memory and being able to recall your 20 year-old credential. Before I retired, our company had implemented password lifetimes of 120 days for general desktop use and separate credentials for elevated privileges broken down by network, desktop, server, database, backup, and Domain. The elevated accounts were controlled by a Password Vault Manager so in the morning we had to "check out" our privileged account for the twelve hours before the password expired. Since the passwords rotated it was nearly impossible to impossible to remember 24 random upper/lower case, numeric, and special characters.
i'm fully retired with investment properties.. i have awesome property mgnt running them i have very little involvement with em!!!
That's my sister and brother in law. They have 15 with all but one paid off. He's too anal though to let someone else run them and he seems to enjoy it. I think they're thinking of finally fully retiring in the next year or two. They're the type though that's always wanting something to do, such as the flip house they're about to finish up.
This was definitely a live login. I searched a couple of NAS drives to see if any of my old files had survived the transition to the newer servers. I found some of them, including my original network design files. I was even able to see that one of the NAS RAID 5's is using a hot spare. Password lifetimes were being implemented when I retired, but when I went back for a couple months as a consultant a year later, it had still not been completed. The company is relatively small and has divisions in England, France, and China. When I was there as the Systems Admin/Analyst, IT was a one man department with third party maintenance contracts for the off shore divisions. I haven't kept in touch, so I don't know what the status is now, but 10 years or so ago, an employee I knew from my time told me IT had been contracted out and getting any on-site help could take hours.
