It is what it is…
This is brilliant….

‘It is what it is. Sit back and enjoy what life provides for your entertainment for as long or as short as it is available. Practically nothing is intended to be forever. — alternately, smile and enjoy yourself, you can be happy between sad times or you can just always be sad.I choose happy if even for a moment in time.’
– paraphrased from an anonymous poet
Apologies
Yeah I know I have been doing this since like last summer but apologies to everyone who is sending emails and posting messages in my forums and posting to the newsgroups or activedir.org or sending me smoke signals and anything else that I haven’t responded to.
I am completely swamped with things. No one is really getting much of my time right now including my mom (hi Mom, sorry I have gone mostly dark on you). Even my cat is pissed at me and she stands on my chest and looks down into my face when I am trying to get my 3-4 hours of sleep a night meowing at me. I won’t even tell you how ticked the Chinchillas are at me for not letting them play once every 2-3 days and only getting out once a week. I am almost spending all of my time working on things I have to work on with very little time on things I want to spend time on.
It isn’t anything personal on anyone, I am just swamped and have too much stuff to deal with and too few hours in a day. At some point I will catch up but at the moment I am behind and will be for a bit until at least after the Directory Experts Conference.
On the positive side though… I am smiling. Life is all about the people in it and I am lucky enough to have some very amazing people in mine. Now if I could figure out how to add 40 hours onto the day or clone myself I would be all set. Though I can’t imagine myself talking to my clone, that would be an interesting conversation.

Precaution…
If you are being criticised by someone, if it’s true, fix your mistake. If it’s not, treat it as precaution and you will avoid in the future.

Tequila…
I think tequila is the cure for hot spicy mouth the way its a cure for ugly, it just numbs it a little bit…

KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED
I didn’t dig into this but wanted to give a heads up that when I used Windows Update this evening to apply the latest patches to my main XP machine after the reboot it would no longer talk to the domain properly and hence unable to log into the machine with a domain ID. This was IMMEDIATELY after the update reboot and thankfully I followed my normal process of rebooting prior to running the updates to validate that everything was ok prior to the updates and it was so I know for a fact it was one of the updates that broke me.
In the event log I started seeing the dreaded KRB_AP_MODIFIED error, specifically for the search engines
EventID: 4
Source: Kerberos
The kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server host/r2dc1.test.loc. This indicates that the password used to encrypt the kerberos service ticket is different than that on the target server. Commonly, this is due to identically named machine accounts in the target realm (TEST.LOC), and the client realm. Please contact your system administrator.
The patches that were applied were
- Root Certificates Update
- KB943485 (LSASS Fix)
- KB941644 (TCP/IP Fix)
- KB890830 (Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool – January 2008)
- KB931906 (CAPICOM Fix)
I did not install the Silverlight. I actually may never install it now since they tried to shove it down my throat. :o)
My guess is that it was the CAPICOM fix but I don’t have the time to dig into it. I tried quickly to restore point back but that didn’t fix it so I unrestored point back to my previous back before the restore point restore (heh say that 4 times fast) so I am back where I was after I started. :^)
Anyway, I wanted a quick fix so I pulled the machine out of the domain and rejoined it and voila’ it is working again.

P.S. Mom and Shank, don’t worry about this post, you don’t have to worry about it with your computers since you guys aren’t in a domain. You just keep applying all the non-hardware updates as usual.
Ummm….
Why is the Silverlight V1.0 install package coming down through Microsoft Update? Do any other companies get to send down IE plugins through Microsoft Update?
Just asking…
