Those are both nice methods.. the first or cross training in effect is how I found myself a way off the help desk. Now I just Thwack all day, instead of taking calls.

Caller : My Internet is not working! ME : Okay, when you open your browser what happens? Caller : Nothing! ME : Does the browser open? If so.. Caller : NO IT DOESN'T OPEN! THERE'S NOTHING ON MY SCREEN!!!! ME : Okay, I understand..is the monitor powered on? Caller : <Presses Assumed Power Button> NO, THERE'S NOTHING ON THE…

I apparently forgot to provide accolade to this comic in my effort to be a smart aleck. This is a grand display of goodzhere‌'s story! I am elated to have my likeness included in some way...eh, who am i kidding I didn't do a darn thing! Kudos to the SolarWinds team for outdoing themselves on this Mission!

I may have no attendance this year, as Thwack Camp falls on a Holiday for me, I haven't been to an Intel Channel Partner show in several years, and the employer won't send me anywhere.

Bump it Again! #bumpsquad​

It discovers automatically......but you have to tell it to actually run... damn semantics! 

Our scripted job for back ups sends an email with back up status for each node. We get two emails, one for start up, one for running - And the Failed Nodes are always at the top grouped together. -> For us it exposes an issue or the node is one of those (sometimes connected to the network, and the name reflects it so we…

yeah, it's not case sensitive. The answer was just wrong. Consider all characters, even the lack of.......

Documentation saves Jobs along with numerous hours of lost time and increased stress. Less stress means less hair falling out. More hair means not blinding that driver on the interstate with your Cue Ball Head. Averting a major Interstate pile up. So in conclusion, documentation saves Lives! The key to documentation is…

Procedures - which are your day to day practices based on your policies. Policies set the tone while the procedure is your execution.

Shep says you are ALL GONNA DIE - Bump!

have you shared this anywhere? would you be able to please?

4 Hours later Bump!

It all depends on what you have, so eventually there may be a mission where the shortcut is 'not an option'...sad, but true.

Congratulations dmbeckemeyer​!! tinmann0715​, always a class act!

hiring two private investigators to follow each other Am I the only one picking myself off the floor after reading this?! 

Encryption and Certificate Authority are going to be key in the post NSA Inspection Era. Very nice read of features and possibilities. The idea's are flowing, and I think at this point we are drooling for a few Real World implementation solutions.

Get the up votes past 1K... that should work

MacGyver type tools can be very useful. It's the MacGruber's that are always getting in the way. * 1) Event and logging\correlation tools to present current service levels to a web page to prevent multiple phone calls from hitting the helpdesk - This is present, but they still call anyways. Sometimes after reading the…

Bump!

Thank You Good Sir! I had a chat with my Mom today who has been in Healthcare far longer than I had been, and the idea of getting a quick fix for these critical situations could be the difference between the institution doing their job as care givers or facing a lawsuit. Something that I certainly did not consider…

We are in the process of pulling most things network/server based into the same NMS. The Server/DC Folks use a different system and set their own thresholds. I watch my boxes closely, and request resources when needed.. long before they are needed. Sometimes the world turns a little slower than we would prefer. So As The…

Chick Pea Mush is so good!

yeah, if i took a picture of one, it would be on a store shelf. So this xBox comes in 'almost new condition' ? Don't forget to take the game out of the drive before you ship

Everyone has a voice, remove the down vote option and you remove the option for someone to have a voice.

It was awfully quiet this morning

I was going to say don't shake the box.. or turn it over even.

Keeping up with all the new 'apps' is hard to do... or maybe that was breaking up. The idea of me breaking up from whatever piece of technology or rather, lack thereof that is my old way for doing things. Maybe I do need an app for that. After all my list of bookmarks are off the charts, and even after sorting i have long…

Let's Enhance - YouTube got an Image enhancer that can bit map ... aaahahahahaha
