Dez​ you do it so well !

SSDS - same "stuff" different shop , a reference to common issues in IT that you have seen in other shops. Fat fingered - if I recall that goes back decades to a typing mistake as if you had fat fingers and hit two keys at once or the wrong key. To me GIGO (garbage in garbage out) is a throwback to programming where you…

yep...the survey completion is slightly wonky..

These USB floppy drives work well...these are cheap in comparison to when these were the only game in town.

Congrats to SoftwareOne !

Wednesday Morning bump...

Sounds like a great event ! Have fun !

I was speaking of the last mile to the hosted location for the SaaS provider. I could shut the provider down for part of a day as well as all their customers.

Good info here for those of us that are not Exchange admins. I have not seen the webinar but hopefully I can do so soon.

Congrats arthomas‌ !!

Hot Diggity !! See folks, it works !

Good points here...on the topic of patching though...you only specifically talk about OS patching. Application patching as well as related libraries is just as bad and you must be diligent in keeping those patched as well (java, flash, etc.). Also on topic, you could mention how Orion and it's various pieces can provide…

Ah...knee jerk reaction. Account provisioning is like anything else...it has to be documented and backout methods provided when changes are made. I have seen that same thing bite hard at more than one company...sometimes they disable to see who screams and other times they just rip off the band-aid.

obviously I don't have the best grammer...but sometimes I pick up on it.

+1 maria.bungau​ beat me to it !!

Is it collaboration or integration you are talking about ? By getting you to commit to a framework or platform, they get you to buy into their products and is primarily a marketing move. Some tools are integration savvy and work well with other tools....some only work with tools within their framework. It is a…

@"zennifer" I hadn't heard that..now I will be on edge to find out when it will be gone;)

The ambassadors blogs are not on the thwack home page anymore...now we have to go search for them.

Humpday morning Bump !

Those were the gold standard back in the day. Then came the 2400, 9600, 14.4K, 28.8k, and then 56k. As long as it was a Hayes you were good.

No way !

datachick​, exactly my point !! I understand separation of duties and there is a case for it if implemented reasonably well. In a number of cases I see it hampering people from doing their job. I also understand the reasons behind least privilege access. I find that in many cases they are implemented in a manner that is…

This is a good thing for those who have recently purchased the product. These sessions provide good feedback for Solarwinds to improve their services and products !

And we're off ! Day 1 complete...

Would that be "insecurity" ?

While in theory I like the tools team idea and it can work with buy in from all teams all the way up the ladder. But in a silo'd separation of duties environment it may be hard to get the full buy in. With that said, I have seen it work and I have seen it fail. It has to be fully supported by all teams to work well or in…

The opportunity with change is that it requires more work to implement properly (testing, patching, etc.). Otherwise change is painful and people don't want change because they don't want the pain or work involved...

Bump it up !

layers and layers, just like an onion.
