You let Panera know; I'll let Nick know. He missed it last month. I'll let Nick know. @nickzourdos, there's a new mission this month. Don't miss it!

I can confirm the question answers correctly now. Thanks Danielle

corileigh77​ I was thinking along the same lines. It seems to me that the "gift" is the entry into the random drawing, not the prize should one be randomly drawn -- because it wasn't directed at a person, but it was done at random. But, that's just an opinion. My opinion matters not for the rules of ethical conduct at…

I forgot to add: add the ability to copy alerts at the Manage Alerts page too, please.

You may feel free to disagree. When I brought up the online-demo, it did not bring up the Perf-Stack, but maybe that was because I was already in the demo due to a previous question. However the rules of logic still preside. Since 4 of the answers could be correct (I provided an example previously), and the question…

My mini-review of UDT: I had an extended trial of UDT at my work. I really liked it. With it, I was able to show our info-sec group how to find a device (ie which switch and port the device is connected to) from just a MAC address or and IP address. I could further show them who recently logged into the device using AD. I…

Logged back in, saw the reset. Answered; Got it right. Thank you. It think it had previously said 14 next to the red ribbon, now says 1, like asheppard's screen shot. So, I think that the take away -- what we are supposed to learn from this -- is that SCM will tell use how many devices are out of adherence with the…

In 6th grade, I saved up my money from my paper route, and bought a Peugeot CPX-100 bmx bike. I loved that bike -- in part, because it was a great bike! But maybe mostly because I had earned it myself. I forget what eventually became of it. Why did I stop riding it? Oh, that's right, because I got my driver's license, and…

Dang it! I clicked the wrong one. wabbott Can you reset please?

I love questions like this -- (too easy IMHO): ARM allows you to automate your Active Directory account management. True/False. Automating Active Directory account management is a bona fide and useful feature that could make AD admin's jobs easier. Were such a valuable feature brought up in a question, but the feature was…

I noticed that Dragon was mentioned by genre rather than by name. It would have been interesting if the Dragon were mentioned by specific name, such as Draco from Dragon heart. I'm using the term genre rather loosely here since I can't think of a better word. Contrast this to the Gorgon. The Gorgon was mentioned by name…

I'm learning much more watching these videos the second time. Or, maybe I just learn more when watching the videos while NOT reading the live chat during ThwackCamp or Tabs. Could be both.

Thank you @"gcp" for your response. Yes, it is easy to see which one of those answers includes an item from outside the list. I agree, that if that is what the authors meant, then it is not well phrased. Putting the question into Orion Alert formats: Alert when Answer does not contain one entry in common web server list…

My highschool microbiology teacher used to show how many people got which questions right, and calculate the standard deviations for each question. Any question where the number of people who got the question wrong exceeded 2 standard deviations was thrown out. He stated that if that many people got a specific question…

HerrDoktor​, I guess my response did come out as a bit of a rant. It wasn't intended as a rant -- and it wasn't that I didn't get it right. I have taken issue with three (3) questions/answers so far. Only one (1) of them did I get wrong. This isn't a case of me being a "sour loser" (as the person who hides behind anonymity…

I find that photo hilariously distressing! 

Wow -- I complete looked at the hint and didn't read it. "Let's see... there's VSANs Datastores... some lines listed under the heading... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Five lines under where it says VSANs Datastores. Five must be the answer." Nope. I should have actually read the hint instead of just look at it. The answer was obvious…

dgsmith80​, I think the questions and answers are well phrased, and pertinent. Well, maybe the last 2 questions last month were not pertinent, but most of the questions recently have been well phrased, and accurate for the link provided. I appreciate that.

From yesterday's and today's hint (Product Blog: Introducing Solarwinds Idnetity Monitor), you will find a link to sign up for free.

There are undead accounts in our Orion deployment! A couple network administrators who previously worked with our Orion Deployment still have residuals in Orion. They don't have accounts in "Orion Website Accounts" anymore of course, but deleting them from there doesn't remove them entirely from Orion. In the "NCM Jobs…

I am very happy to see missions back. I am back too, in a matter of sense -- been away from Thwack since October, when I was laid off from my previous job. I have a new position. And, I am back on Thwack. has anything happened in the last 7 months? Did I miss anything? I am not understanding question 9. The question asks…

My little electric snow blower is so much fun to use. Of course, in deep snow (like greater than 1') it is of not much use.

It would be uber cool to attach that to NPM using a Pi... some sort of overall status indicator.

I especially like that PICNIC has other meanings, and is not well known to be an insult to the computer user. Many people know about PEBKAC and ID10T, so if they (or someone) over hears one talking about a customer with those terms, they may get uppity about this or that. And -- what if a customer walks away, I give it a…

I tend to overthink things sometimes. Today was not one of them. I didn't even read the hint before answering what seemed to be the obvious answer. Not sad that I did it that way.

Yes, in Oregon, most gas stations are still under laws requiring an attendant to pump gas. Only in rare circumstances do they check tires, oil or water though. Yes, I remember that as a kid too. An attendant would open the hood, remove the oil stick, swab it, dunk it in again, and them show my mom. "It's a little low…

As of today's question: 100,000 Thwack Points!

Don't forget that amateur test makers choose to make B as the correct answer in a multiple choice question, more than any other letter. And, the longest answer is usually the correct one (again, from amateur test makers). Nothing has been implied about the makers of the Monthly Mission test questions.
