Bob, it seems like you maybe you referred to the circle graphs on page 5, showing tier levels, in which a big portion of the circles represent "Ticket Management". That is an interesting page, true. But keep reading. There is a page later in the document with the words "Ticket Resolution" represented on a circle graph. The…

There is legislation in Oregon to prevent shooting explosive targets.

One of my teachers in highschool (a very long time ago) once told me that if you don't know the correct answer on a multiple-choice question, choose either option B or the longest answer. Amateur test makers usually make the decoy answers shorter than the right answer, and B is statistically the most likely answer that…

I found it interesting to note -- the article does not state that Solarwinds' tool is scalable. The sentence, "In an ideal world, that tool would scale affordably as your needs evolve and grow" is referring to a nebulously vague tool in an ideal world. The first paragraph sets the standard for what would make a great tool.…

Scroll down to the domain controllers, Eight DC servers to start with, Visually verify which ones have roles, Each server either has a role or does not, Now, how many don't have roles?

I read the question. I read the hint. You can derive the answer from the hint. Nothing is overtly stated. But read it and think. The question is asking if any of those standards helps in maintaining compliance with other regulation sets (such as Hippa, SOX, etc). So... COBIT -- could it be helpful in maintaining…

meyer837, I fully understand what you said. I read that same page of release notes yesterday for question #6. If that is the question you are referring to, the hint has been updated. If you click on the hint for #6, it will take you to a page on Domain Controller Details, which does that does have the answer on that page.…

This seems like it will be a fun mission this month.

Speaking of Those Were the Days, and perhaps not as elegant as Mary Hopkins... archie bunker theme song - Bing video -- This was from the Pilot Eposide, prior to being called All in the Family.

Suggestion: Hey DanielleH, you know what would be really helpful? Or at least I think it would be... There have been a lot of excellent Monthly Mission questions and topics over the past few years. To my knowledge, the questions in the Monthly Missions are not part of the topical search feature of Thwack message board. I…

Copycat!

Well thanks a lot for posting Question #2. I learned something today; I try to avoid learning. I also found out I have some work to do; I try to avoid work. You know, you could have left me in the dark, and my life would have been easier. But that bell can't be unrung. Just joking -- I really do appreciate learning this…

Aye. After answering the question, I saw this in the response to my answer, "Too easy? Take the mission shortcut to be entered for a chance to receive an awesome prize." So, I went to look for the mission shortcut. Didn't find it either. Maybe it is still coming. Maybe it will be something like, 'Send us a screen capture…

Question 8 really is a great time saver. I have a friend who works for a different company, whose entire jobs and reason for being employed could be summarized by what ARM can do. I hope ARM doesn't put her out of work. However, she does not do "D. Moving them from their current desk to their new desk", so I guess ARM will…

Hi @"patrick.hubbard". I am excited about the performance improvements that the new upgrades offers. At our work, Orion performance is the biggest issue. Hopefully, this upgrade will make it the least issue. I like your graphic. However, the versions are out-of-order. Following the snake-arrow, the versions are ordered:…

The one I'm still wondering about is question 5, which it says I got wrong. Here is the question. These are clips from the link: So, it seems I found the right section. This is under the section "ADDITIONAL METRICS SUPPORT": Here are the available answers for the question: Oh. I see it now. So Lame. I suppose the…

Tight on time these days, but will try to complete this month's mission.

Here's a future prize suggestion. I used to play this all the time as a kid. Coleco Electronic Quarterback Commercial - Vintage Advertisement - 1980 - YouTube 

In yesterday's Hint, MariaDB, Oracle and MySQL were all listed as supported databases. However, the title of that document is "Database Performance Analyzer Cross-platform performance monitoring and management for cloud and on-premises". The article is not specifically about databases supported on Azure. It seems that DPA…

Recently: Co-worker: "You know what assuming does, don't you?" Me: "Yes, it makes an A$$ out of you." Co-worker: "--AND me!" Me: "That's what I said."

Let's see if that migrates over, shall we?

Agreed. Lots of good prizes. However, I think this is a great topic. Network Security is highly important to me. I hope I learn a few new tricks that Solarwinds products can help with.

"Big Money", I think.

Okay, I read the post entirely, I just want to make sure I understand -- the competition is to find the most useful of the provided useless superpowers. Right? To rephrase in the negative, we are not trying to find the most useless of these useless superpowers. Correct?

Question 1 will be graded later? Huh? Why wouldn't the answer be available now?

I didn't get points for May 27ths. But I think that is because I got the question wrong. LOL. I misread the hint info. Upon re-reading it, the questions and hints were clear.

I swear one of my toons on Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes has a Level 7 perk: Relentless Bump

@"georgi.hristov"That is a great add to the idea. I like it!

OOOHHH!!!! LOL -- I completely missed the word agent. It's a wonder I've lived this long!

asheppard970​. I don't know. You may be right, there could be some profits to be made from service. But, I'm sure you remember when gas stations had Full-Service and Mini-Service (or No-Service) islands. People were given the opportunity to buy Full-Service for a long time. But the Full-Service islands disappeared. I…
