I knew someone was going to say that..

After a few emails they asked me to recover and reconfigure the device.

Today I will give thanks for console recovery KB articles. :rofl:

Anti-frustration post: I got an email from my boss. Next time I am in the office I have to clear out my desk because I was given an office. I think the first time in my career I have my own office. I even have a window. It is frosted so I can't see anything, but I have one. Going in tomorrow to take a look, and see what I need to do.

Nice. I often wish I had a door to close instead of needing to put on noise-canceling headphones.

A couple years ago I had a co-worker who was known to be pretty loud. I guess enough people complained because they moved us out of the way to a corner in cubicle-ville. We ended up with a big window and a view of the mountains :)

Big question is whether or not you get your own server rack and lab gear in that new office. :smug:

No rack in my office. I wouldn't want all the noise. I do have a rack in our data center that is for my lab. 2x50A208v power, and all the networking I could want. It is nice being the guy who designed and built out the data center. Not a bad office. All the offices here are "Fish bowl" style with glass walls. Except mine is one of two that are frosted so nobody can see in. I heard it was the HR managers office for the last company that was in this space.

Even if I was inclined to do that my wife sits four rows away from my new office. I probably wouldn't last long if I tried that. Rumor is she my be moving desks in the second wave, and end up in the row right outside my office.

Now that I have moved into the office I can say the whole moving people thing is stupid. They are moving people to put the teams together, but with COVID only half the teams are allowed to be in the office at one time anyway so it doesn't matter that much. What they should do it take the desks from those that are now 100% remote, add them as rooms in Exchange, and let people reserve them if they need to be in the office. People who come in more than 50% of the time can have a desk. Everyone else hot desks.

My wife works very close to my office, as well. And she's making chili cheese fries for lunch, too! :D

We're going more for "Texas Poutine", nice and easy, something that won't interrupt my 2PM meetings. :smug:

Yeah, I'm lookin' at YOU, Chipotle!

FIPS mode on Palo Altos. To enable, boot into maintenance mode. Tell it to enable FIPS. This factory resets the box. So far so good. Except FIPS mode also disables all input from the console after boot. You can use the console to do a factory reset, and disable FIPS, but you can't login, and say change the default management IP to something useful. Glad I figured this out at our local data center.
