[1884.12 --> 1885.84] It's like, oh, where's this going?
[1886.32 --> 1889.32] Or what do you know about directory services and exchange?
[1889.44 --> 1891.62] It's like, um, that they exist?
[1891.82 --> 1892.56] Great, you'll do.
[1893.00 --> 1894.92] And off you'll be shipped to a client site.
[1895.38 --> 1899.50] And I ended up at one of these client sites and there was a customer and it was a big,
[1899.68 --> 1900.44] big company.
[1900.80 --> 1902.28] And they were basically doing a split.
[1902.92 --> 1904.84] Merger and acquisition is the normal thing you hear about.
[1904.92 --> 1905.62] They're doing the other thing.
[1905.72 --> 1906.58] They're splitting in two.
[1907.42 --> 1912.00] And they basically said, they contracted the company I worked for to split their active
[1912.00 --> 1916.20] directory, to clone it and then rename it to the other company name.
[1916.28 --> 1917.96] So they had a perfect copy renamed.
[1918.28 --> 1920.20] And I'm just like, turn up on site.
[1920.32 --> 1922.92] I know a bit of visual basic, a little bit of C sharp at that point.
[1923.24 --> 1924.72] How do I approach this problem?
[1925.16 --> 1926.54] I did not know at all.
[1926.70 --> 1930.34] So I get in touch with Microsoft Professional Services and go, how would you do this?
[1930.34 --> 1931.44] And they're like, you don't.
[1931.48 --> 1932.06] That's impossible.
[1932.86 --> 1933.54] Don't do that.
[1933.82 --> 1937.04] That's reckless and foolish and it's not supported.
[1937.48 --> 1939.80] And it's like, okay, but I'm being paid for this.
[1939.88 --> 1944.00] And I know no better because I'm barely in my mid twenties and I'm going to take a stab
[1944.00 --> 1944.36] at this.
[1944.60 --> 1949.24] And I wrote a script going through the registry on the, uh, one of the cloned exchange server
[1949.24 --> 1949.64] machines.
[1949.80 --> 1954.26] And I basically renamed everything and I fired it up afterwards and it worked.
[1954.86 --> 1955.26] Wow.
[1955.48 --> 1956.46] That was my day's work done.
[1956.46 --> 1957.14] I left.
[1957.14 --> 1958.94] I have no idea whether that worked.
[1961.04 --> 1961.92] It appeared to work.
[1962.12 --> 1965.16] Oh, well, I just took notice exactly after this project ended.
[1965.52 --> 1966.08] Oh, I don't know.
[1966.14 --> 1966.70] I don't want to know.
[1968.60 --> 1969.64] They rate contractors.
[1969.78 --> 1970.40] That's what you get.
[1971.50 --> 1971.86] Wow.
[1972.56 --> 1973.96] That could have just worked though.
[1974.30 --> 1976.94] But you know, I never trust code that works first time.
[1977.02 --> 1978.92] That's why I like a failing test before.
[1979.26 --> 1981.54] The only thing that I was really, really scared about it.
[1981.60 --> 1984.20] The name of the company in the Active Directory was six characters long.
[1984.20 --> 1987.66] And I was reasonably sure that that was a magic value.
[1988.16 --> 1991.52] So I asked them for a new name to be the Active Directory name.
[1991.64 --> 1993.18] That was also six characters long.
[1993.42 --> 1996.94] That's the only thing that I think was intelligent about what I did that day.
[1997.72 --> 1998.98] The rest is luck.
[1999.54 --> 2000.46] And lots of regexes.
[2001.60 --> 2002.04] Again.
[2002.68 --> 2003.08] Yeah.
[2003.60 --> 2004.30] Good call.
[2005.56 --> 2006.00] Spooky.
[2006.58 --> 2007.06] Spoopy.
[2007.56 --> 2008.04] Spoopy.
[2008.28 --> 2010.70] But yeah, that's the scary question though.
[2010.74 --> 2011.76] No one's asked me that for years.
[2012.10 --> 2013.06] Hey, what do you know about?
[2015.06 --> 2015.38] Yeah.
[2015.42 --> 2016.04] What do you know about this?
[2016.08 --> 2017.16] You're like, no, you're like, nothing.
[2017.32 --> 2017.56] Nothing.
[2017.68 --> 2018.16] Nothing at all.
[2018.40 --> 2019.70] I don't want to know anything about it.
[2019.78 --> 2019.98] Yeah.
[2020.62 --> 2021.40] I know nothing.
[2021.64 --> 2022.62] Maybe that's the thing, right?
[2022.62 --> 2024.90] When you see people late in their career and you're just like,
[2024.92 --> 2025.64] what do you know about this?
[2025.70 --> 2028.72] And you think they're doing the, I've forgotten more than you'll ever learn.
[2028.84 --> 2030.80] But no, they're actually going, I don't want to do this.
[2032.48 --> 2033.20] Active Directory.
[2033.84 --> 2034.66] Never heard of it, mate.
[2034.66 --> 2035.52] Never heard of him.
[2035.86 --> 2037.42] Thinks it's someone man's name.
[2038.34 --> 2039.12] Active Directory.
[2039.24 --> 2040.46] That's a weird name for a man.
[2040.66 --> 2041.58] I think that's a man.
[2042.18 --> 2045.00] Just really selling, you know, that you don't know it just to get out of the job.
[2045.26 --> 2047.60] Well, just a tip there for people that want to get into that.
[2047.96 --> 2049.46] Like I said, I'm jet lagged.
[2050.24 --> 2052.42] And this is spooky Halloween party special.
[2052.98 --> 2054.78] How are those marshmallows looking, Chris?
[2055.38 --> 2057.64] They are toasty and brown and delicious.
[2058.34 --> 2058.90] Oh, perfect.
[2059.10 --> 2059.50] Well done.
[2060.18 --> 2061.98] Are you going to share or?
[2062.82 --> 2063.22] No.
[2063.42 --> 2063.68] No.
[2063.68 --> 2066.84] These are my marshmallows now.
[2066.84 --> 2067.02] Good point, yeah.
[2067.72 --> 2068.00] Yeah.
[2068.14 --> 2073.64] I know they're imaginary, but, you know, but I still want one.
[2074.12 --> 2075.14] We have an infinite supply.
[2075.26 --> 2076.58] Everybody can make their own marshmallows.
[2077.40 --> 2077.76] Oh, yeah.
[2077.88 --> 2078.14] Okay.
[2078.14 --> 2080.32] All you need is an infinite loop.
