  • Great article, mrdenny​ One of your points of order on "What makes a great project manager" is near and dear to my heart: * Serve as a liaison between IT and the business One of the greatest challenges we face in the IT world is the fact that folks don't like change all that well. And when we roll-out a new, whizzbang…
  • bleggett​, what would you lilke to review?
  • I was wondering where you had flitted off to, rschroeder​...your absence was noticeable. I like your philosophy: Gotta care 100% of the time [...] That applies to life as well THWACK! BTW, how was the fishing?
  • "The General Lee" was one of the few exceptions.
  • According to the reference above, kmurphy​, and as I read it, what the Admin Area allows one to do is... configure, brand, and customize Dameware Remote Everywhere to meet their business needs So it could be interpreted that the "Admin" is "Setting up" their DRE to "Start attended and unattended remote support sessions"…
  • "Into the LAN all the packets must flow Not really knowing which way they should go Routed and switched so as not to go slow All with the help of our good friend, NetFlow" As I stated earlier in this thread, unlike others, I am a performer not a composer but every now and then, I can squeak one out. #Flowetry
  • Ah, the Y2K "bug"! Those were the days, my friends...lots of long-haired, long-bearded, suspender-wearing UNIX gurus (yes, I am using glittering generality, there) making serious bank because they were the only ones who could keep the world from exploding into oblivion. Thank goodness it was, for the most part, a…
  • We had an incident like what you are alluding to, tallyrich​! A few years back, I got a call at 0600 from our SCADA guy, saying that around 0100 that morning, they couldn't poll meters at a certain plant. I looked at Orion and found the culprit: someone at the plant was binging Netflix! So, I informed the plant's…
  • And it isn't just here in "Amurka" that we have regional accents. I have not (yet) been to the UK but as I understand it, there are some very pronounced and distinctive accents within the islands. The one that sticks out most for me is the Cockney, which I'm sure has been "affectualized" by Hollywood (c.f. Eliza…
  • WOW, Jfrazier​! That sure jogs the old memory banks! I remember watching Land Of The Lost (the original, live action kid-vid) when I was growing up. Thinking back, for as low budget a show as it was, it was totally engaging and believable (hey, I was 7...gimme a break! ;-). But, yeah, Sleestaks, H.R. Puffinstuff, man...the…
  • Ah, "Life, The Universe And Everything"! Great series, Ford Prefect...and what is 6 times 7 again? ;-) Actually, that was the fourth book in the trilogy, "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" I believe. But I digress... So all I did, melonizame​, was login to the demo, type the IP address of the target device (10.199.6.18)…
  • If they had screwed up, knucklebusted​, I might agree with you and expect an apology...but they didn't. The correct answer was right there in black and white, as plain as day on the hint page. But, as mentioned, if you want to be done, then be done. But don't lash out at the GEEKS for your oversight. Learn and move on or…
  • I like your train of thought, adatole​, and I was cruising right with you until the NFL example. While I understand the distinction you are making between "customer" and "consumer", I think the NFL was forced to realize that the people who sit at home are just as much their "customers" as those butts in seats. Those "couch…
  • More curious for the group. We're using ServiceNow at the moment and have become fairly entrenched with it (or it with us, not sure which!). And also doing a little bit of comparison: what you said seems to be on par with what SN has (Roles, no Versioning) at the moment. Having been a DOCMAN in a former life, I know how…
  • Especially with the prize this week being the security camera system...definitely want to stay in the running for that. By my reckoning, compliance folk shouldn't care one iota what hardware you're on...but then again, I'm no expert.
  • Farewell, you wascawy wabbott​! Catch you on the flip side. She gone, buh bye!
  • I went through the sign-up process and got logged into the system, but then was logged out and presented with the following screen: When I clicked on the [Login] button, nothing happened. I was using IE11 so figured I would try Chrome and guess what, it worked like a champ. Not sure if this is a known issue with IE or if…
  • It's too bad you weren't able to get on with Kodak back in the 70s and help them prevent their untimely demise from the world of photography...oh, sorry, that was Señor Perez and crew. Never mind... ;-)
  • As we move forward with this mission, it all comes down to paying close attention to detail (when something is NOT versus when it is), inferring where appropriate (the GEEKS are not always going to spoon-feed the answer) and using common sense. There is much that can be gleaned from the information in this mission in terms…
  • Thanks for the article, gregwstuart and just to show my age a little, it took me a minute to realize that you were not talking about Server Management Blocks...;-) I think, too, that with the small- to medium-business, not only are they able to deploy faster than larger counterparts but they are able to learn from their…
  • You and I have had our differences of opinion in the past, Steven, and I'll simply leave it at that. I hope you enjoy the rest of your month, whatever you decide to do.
  • I drive half an hour plus every day from my home in Loveland, CO to my work office in Greeley, and every morning - come rain, snow, sleet, hail, gloom of night, whatever - I see a person doing the same commute on a bike. Now it's only about 25 miles, and I'm sure you die-hard bicyclists out there are going "25 miles? PHHT!…
  • solarview​, I presume you are referring to question 7 and I see where you're coming from but the question specifically says: Cisco Call Manager and Cisco Unified Border Element, also known as _ _ _ _. To answer your question directly, while VNQM can do the things that you mention in your answer (SIP and CUBE trunk…
  • Ah the glorious conundrum that is the Human Animal. There is an advertisement out now that says something to the effect of "we humans are the only animals that don't run away from pain and discomfort: we ENJOY it!" Not that I'm saying that one must enjoy pain to be human but it shows the dichotomy that is in all, or most,…
  • smttysmth02gt​, the question is about the SIEM feature of Threat Monitor, not Threat Monitor as a whole. Otherwise, I would agree with you.
  • I like the "Outside the Solar System" thinking: "Bantha and Horta and Porg, Oh My!" or "Rancor and Redjac and Gorn, Oh My"! So then would it be "Trekkies" and "Warsies"? Or "Trekkers" and "Warsers"? I think we're getting a little deep on this!
  • Oh, that brings up a great EARWORM ALERT!!! Stevie Wonder Superstition - YouTube
  • I like the old colloquialisms, acmtix​. "This is a fine kettle of fish", "Put it on the back burner", etc. They keep me rooted to the old man inside of me.
  • Good question, Yum...the answer(s) is(are) actually different than I thought, so I learned something. One thing though: the hint intimates that the link will take folks straight to the video that they need to watch in order to find the answer(s) ("Find your hint about 45 seconds in"). However, the first video on the…
  • The 2 use cases you see are because of the word "Monitoring", not "File Integrity Monitoring". If you just type "File Integrity", no use cases are displayed. It is a mite confusing, I'll admit. Even putting the expression in quotes doesn't change the outcome.
