Well said, I have been saying these same ideas for awhile around the Enterprise. The ability to get people to open their mind enough to listen is usually the hardest part not the technology. Conversation is good - Silence is bad.

got the question right but missed the first letter. Tomorrow is another day. 

Looking forward to it!!!

This is a cumbersome feature. Takes time to clean up and validate. 

I am only short 109,000 points to get into the Uber Thwacker Nation Super Secret Squirrel Club and sit next to aLTeReGo​ so I can bask in his greatness.

It has been a great year and looking forward to next year. 

Would using various Custom Properties resolve this issue?

pony10​ are you not allowed to have any trees in your yard? May be time to move.

Nailed it!

What type of search function are you looking for that is outside of the "Search for Nodes" window that can be included in any one of your views. Customize Page > "Add" sign > scroll for "Search for Nodes" > click "Finish"

Thanks for the data. 

I see the mind of an IT Professional is hard at work. Make a plan, adjust the plan, execute the plan, and adjust the execution of the reworked plan.. Thwack on,

Are there any Thwack points given for Part 2 Submission?

I am wondering if some of my custom SQL queries is causing the deadlocks which may be affecting my IPAM scans. Still researching.....

Yes, would like to granularity in roles across the various products and a report on activity with those roles at various time intervals. 

Did you get the original email?

DC contracting..... is a rough beast to deal with. 

The talk of JIE is really more of a wait and see type of scenario. Organizations are taking a backseat before diving in head first. Not sure if JIE will ever happen but it does provide some good discussion points.

We have moved away from using ASA's due to the ASDM Applet and inability to reliably work in our environment. 

Not a good sharing person with it comes to IT, but share beer very well. 

Compliance is a Culture for Federal IT Professionals. I know we are trying to do more with less and have the mission be successful, but this does not mean skipping out on doing what is required when we generate a new switch deployment or tech refresh a router. If the shop was "truly" compliant there would be a baseline…

You and your time have been awesome since the beginning. Now we get to see how much more awesomer and superstar you folks really are with this migration. I know it will take some time with some of the bits and pieces. Keep up the GREAT work. Eric

ttl I am not seeing it either. The I click on follow but I do not see any recent posts. 

@"bdufresne" Do you have these discoveries running on a scheduled basis in order to catch new hardware, resources, and such or are these just left over and you were fortunate to inherit. I generally like to run discoveries based on device type and or function. Servers, Networks, Appliances, etc. Each of the functional…

This type of activity will always be an on-going effort in any organization. The ability to define policy, implement such policy, while still accomplishing the mission is always a balancing act. Thanks,

I actually have a lego death star still in its original box. I have been trying to find the time to put it together over the past 7 years. Now with two small kids, that death dream has gone into hyperspace.

Standardization and documentation promote quicker response and recovery times. A full set of documentation may not be possible but that is were NPM, NCM, and Network Atlas come into play. Those 3 products can take care of 75% of the required documentation needed to support the organization. So going back to the original…

Excellent review. I would have to say that going through a convention with a drink in hand would be awesome. Also, side note..... Live Action folks look bored!!!

Standardization and documentation decrease downtime, provide effective troubleshooting, and allow for a more accurate projection of Tech Refresh requirements.

Hello, These STIGs can be developed for you. I would just need a sample configuration with Keys, passwords, and first 2 octets marked with XX of sorts. Otherwise, I would send you some generic STIGs that may take you some time to run through and correct/adjust. Reach me at solarwinds at courtesyit got com.
