Hmm… I just realized I almost posted the same blog
twice. That’s not very professional of
me. I spent part of the morning fighting
an active directory issue. The issue was
“The User Profile Service service failed the logon. User profile cannot be loaded.”
That’s a mouthful. It
probably had something to do with a setting I had. Anyways, the fix for me was to log on to the
local computer and add the domain user to the local computer as the proper
account, and then logon as the domain user.
The thing fired up and ran for me like no one’s business.
I spent a good 3-4 weeks on Active Directory without a
single computer installed. I installed
one on Thursday, I am looking to install a second on Friday. Then nine more the next week, as fast as I
can build them and get them configured. I
would like to completely automate the build process, but that’s not going to
happen. Too many things that require
hands on button pushing, and I have no way to create an MSI file for an
automatic install.
Perhaps one day, but not today. At least I got my proxy file/web filtering
working quite well. I really love the
thought of “make one change, affect every computer”. I’ve spent far too long doing things the
manual way because that’s the way it was always done. Now, I’m tired of the way things were “always
done”. What I generally find is things
were “always done” one way because some guy figured out how to do it that
way. After it was figured out, everyone
else just hopped in line and followed along.
Too many round pegs going straight into round holes.
