Geekness for 3/7/11
I had to remove a Trojan from BSH laptop, Win 7. It was in a hidden folder c:\programdata\a1172a or something like that. I found out the path from MSCONFIG and the service that starts. I renamed the in-use file CRAP and after restart, all ok.
Rolled back the system to an earlier restore point, 30 days. Used Norton removal tool to get rid of all Norton and installed Symantec.
Windows update, Chrome and Picasa, and LOGMEIN.

Geekness for 3/3/11
Come into work and one POS system on the counter is dead. Upstairs I get a call that the phones in BP don't work. Notified the POS repair people and now waiting on them.
The V-90 ShoreTel switch in BP was not communicating per the call director. Due to the fact that there are some strange goings on with that switch from day 1 of the install, it is time to replace it.
The problem of protocol driver errors appers to be going away as I am sending replacement Wyse Winterms to the yard. Boss agrees w/me that the installation of the new ESX servers along with the addition of another VLAN might be the cause of the problem.
Hardwoods is complaining that the Zebra printer is not printing labels. Oh well time to venture downstairs. Printer ok, print queue on AIX not running. Started the queue and all is well. 1 star for me.
The Los Al v-90 ShoreTel switch just bounced by itself. What is going on with this ShoreTel equipment???
Configuring a new MFP for CM by setting up folders for scanning, etc. It would help if I could get access to it but I can not ping it even though it is supposed to be set up. Ah ha...it got plugged back in. All scanning folders set up and tested.

Same protocol driver errors. I will call Brian later on today and find out what he thinks.
Now the Xen desktops are reporting drops.
I had a user put a RJ11 into a RJ45 jack...oh boy...what a dummy. He found the correct CAT 6 cable and now all is working...amazing!
