I am FAKE STEVE!

Yes, I know. no one will believe me. but it's been an easy altercation to succintly support. As a long time MAC- o- Phyte (meaning one who is not initiated into the cult of MAC)  I decided a year ago or so to document my mac-mockery and yet it has turned out 100 times grander than expected. No no.. no need to email to support my anonymity. I know you all aspire to keep the luster of who I am glowing and shining.  And I will do my utmost to continue to fullfill the requirements. On fakesteve I will never admit to this coming out. The wonderfull satire will continue & Valleywag's  flirtatious dive for my spotlight will puff out like a candle in a tornado.
This 1 lone admission into the night will be enough, I believe to stand on into the storm's to come. Please, continue to visit fakesteve.blogspot.com & forget that you've seen this. Thus maintaining the grand theatric's which we all enjoy.

ok now I am googleblogger

i am hi teck. . new google bloggin. WOOT. need to add extra content? i think not.. as far as random sysadmin? i spent alllllllmorning ripping out old cable.. at least 30 old cables.. but its sstill a mess here.

Diary of a random sysadmin

one of our clients has 2 appliction poools running on 2 "loadbalanced" (a low level config) IIS machines.
only one can be an active directory controller ( cuz they can't sync as "loadbalanced")


their app's where dieing on the machine that wasn't a DC and they didn't know why.. almost demanding we make it a DC again. I said I'll look into it.


i google search :
"The identity of application pool, is invalid."
& come up with a few leads :
http://www.issociate.de/board/post/155341/IIS6_Application_Pool_-_Unspecified_Error_/_Service_Unavailable.html then i got http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/3429a680-e4aa-4a32-b364-8c4ddde552af1033.mspx?mfr=true which i tried & it fixed the problem, but only for 1 app


Then i found this http://dallas.sark.com/SarkBlog/cboland/archive/2005/11/28/2267.aspx which about half way down says this : Create a domain service account (MYDOMAIN\SvcAcct) in Active Directory. Nothing special here, no special privileges, just a member of Domain Users group. On the target web server (WebSvr1), add MYDOMAIN\SvcAcct to user group, IIS_WPG.
Which i did & Walla.. it works!

One for the road...
