That's just an engineering sample though... we'll see what happens.

I wouldn't worry too much about that... and we didn't always have polls in the missions before. Also thwack is often where I get more informations than even support because there are lots of people here doing the exact same thing I'm trying to do. SolarWinds goes back a ways too... I basically grew up during my career with…

I had been waiting for new Kiwi syslog server to come out. I've had issues with running the previous version on W2K12R2 on a DC. I think they've hopefully fixed the problem I was having now because I'm sick of using the free WUG syslog server.

I'm getting there... adding SRM and expanding our virtman license will really get us there... the SRM is really the key thing I'm missing though.

One of the worst I've had was when workers working on another floor of a Tier-1 datacenter axed into the risers that carry cooling fluid between floors for the entire building. Things started to heat up and without really thinking it through one of the monitors at the DC hit the main power kill switch immediately killing…

Finally got number 7... I spent way too much time on it and it is simple. Suggestion skip the video... it didn't help me. Try reading about WHD... all I'm going to say. And to the people taking this so seriously... lighten up... it's supposed to be fun... not torture.

I wish I knew what I know now back in 90's o.O!

Just like in some government agencies... Equifax was just lazy I think. They made excuses for why they didn't patch. It's just bad practice all around. Then to have the executive band go and dump stock before announcing the breach is just wrong period. Someone should go to jail over that alone and there's going to be…

The first thing I do is replace task manager with process explorer from MS fellow Mark Russinovich: Process Explorer

True... you really get penalized for having smaller fast disks.

There has always been a gap between Management and IT Technical people. It is best to try and explain everything in layman's terms to Management because they definitely don't understand the technical language IT uses.

Wouldn't you know my 700$ radar detector from escort also runs Windows CE and they aren't even selling them anymore and it was their top of the line model! It still works great though! It's touchscreen and has fallen 100x off my windshield and it's still killer for laser and all types of radar including POP and Ka. I don't…

I think mrs.alterego​ had a test page if I'm not mistaken where you test the rumbletalk white listing too if I'm not mistaken. I can't remember what it was.

Bingo!

Being able to automate some of this stuff really does help. All the antivirus and IPDS stuff is pretty complicated I think. It also seems like the new thing is all about machine learning but I have to wonder how much is really functional or mostly marketing for some of the companies.

Today's question has me kinda wondering a little... I even searched the admin guide for IPAM because I don't know IPAM that well.

I just logged out and back in and still see none of the questions anymore on either this or the other challenge. Everything else seems to be there. I've never seen this before... this is a new one. Bill

This month hasn't gone too well... I selected the correct answer and it told me it was wrong ie. the correct answer.

We also test our patches on IT people's test group machines first to see if there are any major side effects. Then after a week or so of being good we roll them out to everyone. It's not perfect and once a while something has to be rolled back but it's much better than just trusting in the patches.

My dad had one of these quadrophonic amps back in the day:

I've had to do some daisy chaining too at times... and can also relate to the people on so and so floor are complaining about speed!

Here's how to disable smbv1: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2696547/how-to-enable-and-disable-smbv1,-smbv2,-and-smbv3-in-windows-vista,-win…

Another HUGE advantage to being on one private MPLS cloud is perfect QOS across the entire infrastructure. We now have solid and by using NCM consistent QOS configuration from Coast to Coast in the US. We've upgraded our WAN routers to the newer Cisco routers which run essentially linux which give us the ability to be a…

That would be easier as well if the installer can see there's an additional poller stacked for sure. I hope that's the case it may increase my thinking of moving to stacked pollers.

I think it is a devops thing sorta now.

We mostly host everything on our private VMware / NSX cloud. We do have an AWS cloud too that's been moving forward although much much smaller.

I really like TED talks... we used to watch them as an engineering group together once a week... we still email out links weekly but are all too busy to watch them together but that's ok.

Cool @dendob... Belgium... the beginning of "New Beat" music! New Beat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We do the same thing Rick but only keep them 1 year before getting rid of them. This is mainly for audit and possible later security investigations. It's possible the year may soon be five years...
