First day of work for me. Wasn’t really planning to work until Monday the 7th but the IT dept needs my help with a lot of projects going on.
First task: Backups. My account is being used by Arcserve to authenticate to two servers. I had to change my password last week so now the backups failed on those two servers becasue the stored passwords were not updated with my new one. I changed it and did a preflight check. The preflight check did not report any errors on the two servers above, but reported errors on the other servers. However, I tried drilling down the file structure on those servrs and iwas able to get in, so authentication is not the issue. I will let it run tonight and see if I get any errors. I assume it is just a timeout issue. I will also need to change the authentication so it does not use my account, but rather a service account that is not forced to change passwords every so often as per the current group policy.
Vinnie Vuong called about his version of PADS software not being able to open files created by Engineering. I think he has an older version of the software. The Engineering people has a newer version and I do not know where the installation files are. Joe Cortez used to install it among his group, but not to the people in the manufacturing area. I will have to talk to the people involved to straighten this out.
