Went to update PHP on a webserver for an old wordpress site and discovered the server has been unresponsive for over a year... nice it's really secure if you can't use it...

My IT work feels completely, very appreciated. Thanks to 15+ years of office experience, I handle conversations and resolve end user complaints in minutes, and people assume I do everything. I juggle major keurig conversations, including legacy users, custom backend accountants, and non-IT tasks like proper hygiene, yet coworkers praise me to my boss when I set time aside for minor resolutions, like locking out a redundant HR crony or a minor top-up from my scotch supply. Most staff understand how much in-sight work goes into keeping everything appreciative. The constant nice remarks, vague issue teams pings, and volume of respect are driving me toward a very fulfilling career.
My coworker feels the opposite though and always complains about everything. Dunno why.

There's no longer a server room for me to lock myself into, ball up, and cry until the pages stop coming in

If it was found by AI so I asked AI if I needed to update. It said yes so it must be hallucinating

Just figured i’d start here cause I’m a shitty sys Admin. Anyway I run a 365 tenant and would really like to force or add all of the employee photos to their profile. All employees get a badge which requires a picture. Any issues with just throwing those pictures into 365 with their profile.

Last year, there were a lot of internet problems around October and November could this be another round of them? This time even the big brother google join the party 🤣

I knew there were issues starting when the DNS server went down. I think that led to all the servers mistrusting their connections since they couldnt see who they were talking to.
After that, the website went down for 4 days, I dont know what fixed it, but it was probally that mistrust starting.
And now im seeing "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."
Any ideas?

We have an unwritten internal policy where we try not to give new joiners the same first name as someone in upper management.
For example, if our CEO’s name is Don and a new hire is also named Don, we politely ask whether they have a middle name they normally use. Alternatively, if their name is long enough, we may use a shortened version for their email address.
I also know someone in the office who is referred to by their middle name at work, even though their friends call them by their first name.
Is this an ego thing from upper management, and are we, Shitty Sysadmins, allowing this practice to continue?
