That must explain we're seeing roughly a 15% failure in the Windows
Management Instrumentation interface in the 2500
Winblows eXtra CraPpy installs my team sup****ts.
Those failures result in NO errors being returned, when there are
problems with the system. Interestingly enough, in researching the
problem to try to fix it, I see a number of solutions posted by
"microsoft guys" (some MVPs, others actual employees), yet in our
cases none of those solutions work.
Freakin' useless, and if the decision would have been mine (I wasn't
on the team at specification time) I would NOT have pushed that
flaming pile of garbage into our sites. One of the tasks I've had to
perform was to write a service to make the terminals reboot
automatically at a given time each day, as they don't seem to be able
to operate for more than 72 hours without breaking.
Ah well, as long as idiots keep specking Microsoft crap, I'll have a
job. Can't say that with Linux; those boxes are "fire and forget."
