It's useful for range control, some ships could be faster than you and therefore burn out of range of your warp disruptor/scrambler or weapons. It's also useful on some fits for keeping you outside of their weapon range, particularly if they are using blasters.

Null sec is mostly empty with people clustering in small areas, I believe it's even more clustered than previously due to changes in how various jump drives and stuff worked.

There is likely to be a Windows 10 iso available, you may need to install 7 to get the key for it though. We'll know more details closer to the time when Microsoft tell us how it's planning on handling people who want to rebuild their PC after the 1 year free upgrade has expired.

Rufus is your friend for this, it easily makes bootable USB keys for BIOS or UEFI boot options.

I tried edugeek but didn't think to try just geek. Edit: just updated my skill queue since we don't have that 24 hour max thing anymore, hit the cap of 50 skills with a bunch of other stuff I want to add in. Just 461 days till it's finished and about 20 of those till the current skill finishes. Might have to invest in some +5s.

Same as my name on here. Did someone set up the chat channel? I tried to join but there is a password.

Small point for those considering buying plex, unless you only want one plex then it's cheaper to buy from american online stores as the price is usually around $35 for 2 rather than £35, you save about £10 and it's still valid.

Lost a drake with full faction fittings worth 19billion isk.

The worst part is that he had an active tank fitted.

Important guideline that applies to basically every ship of battle cruiser size or bigger (other than maybe the drake) is to make sure you've got your support skills sorted to 4s and 5s and preferably T2 tank mods because missions will wreck you other wise and you won't get to see the potential for the ship.

Jita planet 4 moon 4 caldari navy station is where you want to be, though Hek, Amarr, Dodixie or the other minmatar place are other options.

That's the choice to make. Worst case you blow a few hundred million and wish you hadn't and have only lost out in a few hours work in the real world. Or you grind for a lot more time and make that money in game and potentially make similar mistakes and lose all that time it took to grind the isk. Either way you'll learn a lot about the game and rule 1 of eve, it just depends on how much your willing to invest to learn that lesson.

Plenty of people do it to top up wallets rather than grind isk. Most people just do the maths that if they can make £17 (or whatever plex price is now) in less time than they'd make the equivalent amount of isk then it's worth doing. There aren't many activities you can do that would make you that much isk in 2-3 hours so it's usually a good trade. Back when it was around 450mil per plex it was closer due to factional warfare making buckets of isk and incursions being close behind.

Someone lost 1500 plex in a noob ship and none of them dropped. I though the ~40 or so plex was a bad loss when that happened (a few days or so after the change to plex to make them moveable as i recall) but 1500 is a lot of money.

In theory the only way you could get data corruption is if you try to write data to the database and it's in an unsupport format (or no sanitised correctly) but if all you do is read from the database then you shouldn't have a problem. That's the theory but it will depend on the application you are using and how it was written, could be that hitting Okay (or something) after viewing a record in the database actually writes it back to the database as though you'd saved changes and that might cause problems, it's not likely to happen but that's what testing is for. Personally I'd clone the database/application to a VM and play around with updating it and seeing what happens.

The assets window is your friend, especially when you start moving around more. I once spent a weekend tidying up stuff I had scattered across high sec, although I think I did the same process at least once a year as I inevitably went on random wanders to try stuff out and then didn't go back for the piles of gear I'd accumulated everywhere.

You can down grade most to T1 or meta 2 or 3 for pretty cheap. Drop me a pm with your in game name and I'll see if I can log in some time to send you some isk to help out.

There is little I'm eve like the rush of pvp, especially early on when you're still new to it or out in small gang/solo. Highlight of my pvp career was wandering low sec in a daredevil trying to find something to kill, managed to catch an inty, kill him and warp out just as his friends landed. That's something you never forget even after numerous other engagements of different sizes.

As long as it matches a column name it doesn't matter which order they are in. I'm doing basically the same thing as you with a bit of error checking and creating paths etc to save the amount of information I put into the csv, so I can pretty much just get the csv from the MIS team add a column for password/intake year and import it.

forename,surname,initial,OU,description,password,intakeyear test,user,t,"OU=IntakeYear,OU=Students,DC=Domain,DC=local",Student Test,"Password1",2014

Are you definitely using LDAP? I've had a look and we've been using Windows Authentication set up in IIS. The only other thing I can think is that it's in the admin settings page which you can get to even without domain logins using the default details in the documentation.

I'm looking at something similar at the moment, migrating it from our 2003 box to a 2012R2 box. I'll dig around and see what I can find.

Powershell is your friend for this. I'll post my script in a minute. Edit: Here is my code, you'll need to customise a few things for your domain but it should be pretty easy to just drop it into notepad and save it as a .ps1 and run from a powershell prompt. ################################################ # Script to add new users to AD # Call from Powershell window with -Path option # Directed to the csv file to import # Example CSV file in the folder # # Also adds users to Intake Security Group # ################################################ param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$Path = $(Read-Host -Prompt "Enter the path to the csv") ) Function Check-ADUser { [string]$Name = $args[0] $ADUser = Get-ADUser -Filter {SamAccountName -eq $Name} if ($ADUser) { return $ADUser.SamAccountName } else { return 0 } } $Users = Import-Csv -Path $Path Write-Output -InputObject "Forename, Surname, Username, Password" >> "NewUsersCreated.csv" foreach ($User in $Users) { $ShortName = ($User.Forename).Substring(0,1) + "." + $User.Surname $IsADUser = Check-ADUser $ShortName $Count = 1 while ($IsADUser -ne 0) { $ShortName = ($User.Forename).Substring(0,1) + "." + $User.Surname + "$Count" $IsADUser = Check-ADUser $ShortName $Count += 1 } $DisplayName = $User.forename + " " + $User.surname $SecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString -String $User.Password -AsPlainText -Force $HomeDirectory = "\\fileserver\share\" + $User.intakeyear + "\" + $ShortName $ProfilePath = "\\fileserver\share\" + $User.intakeyear + "\" + $ShortName $UserPrincipalName = $ShortName + "@domain.local" $email = $ShortName + "@domain.local" New-ADUser -Name $ShortName -Description $User.description -DisplayName $DisplayName -GivenName $User.forename -HomeDirectory $HomeDirectory -HomeDrive "N:" -ProfilePath $ProfilePath -SamAccountName $ShortName -Surname $user.surname -UserPrincipalName $UserPrincipalName -Path $User.OU -AccountPassword $SecureString -EmailAddress $email -Enabled 1 -ChangePasswordAtLogon 1 Start-Sleep -s 10 Add-ADGroupMember -Identity $User.intakeyear -Member $ShortName Write-Output -InputObject "$Forename, $Surname, $ShortName,$($User.password)" >> "NewYearUsersCreated.csv" } You might not use all the things there, like Profile Path and Home Path but it's just a case of removing the variable declaration and then removing it from the New-ADUser section too. The script will dump out a csv containing all the usernames and passwords as it will automatically create usernames with the next available username, such as J.Smith1 if there is already a J.Smith.

If you are having fun then that's all that matters.

That should still work, at least in theory. You'd need to be in the same Corp as usual but might also need to disable safeties. Against some camps it was the only way out alive as crashing the gate (burning back and jumping back through) doesn't work unless you have a quick align time to warp off before they send a few people through to catch you.
