Lol the finding excuses not to work out or get some exercise hits home!

The mad magazine pic was the best...

We're doing VMware NSX... it was a big undertaking with much cost involved but I'm excited to be on the cutting edge network virtualization... we have the internet for access too but our core is MPLS between sites with guaranteed SLA on connectivity. The internet isn't exactly something with an SLA on it but I agree it's…

No mission master award this year... that much is for sure! Bill

That geek fuel is looking pretty nice! I'm guessing there's going to be a bunch of people passing the last round so it's gonna be the luck of the draw! Good luck to everyone!

Ugh that doesn't sound like fun at all! Finally some of the kinds of security needed are spreading to areas where it really should be though. In the industrial base we've been living with this for a long time. Hopefully this will have a good long term effect. If they don't enforce real penalties no one would ever follow…

We've recently added Secure-ID for all users in open network which is unclassified. Everyone has two factor now. By having every machine have a unique ladmin password if one machines gets exploited they can't just move laterally all across the network... that's the idea anyhow. Also for file sharing we use our own dropbox…

Seems like Orion and NPM/SAM can cover a lot of this cloud monitoring for us!

I'm going to be getting SRM soon I think but it can definitely get expensive if you have a lot of disks in your NAS's like we have! Seems like having larger disks would save you a lot of money on SRM.

We're slowly considering outsourcing some workloads but it's a lot of security research and getting customer approval for some things.

Looking good so far... I'd like the opportunity to be able to get a new logo backpack maybe in the future (someone has to unlock it in the store). It's nice having the classic but the new one looks cool too!

Nothing like AppInsight for SQL to push an overburdened SQL Server right over the edge... it takes some DB resources to run AppInsight for sure... it's great info but it has a cost I've found out! o.O!

Not sure what's up about the room keys lolol! Maybe that's a good move on VMware's marketing side???

LOL this is funny!

I remember thinking about AD when I first finally broke down after years and got the SAM module and realized it wasn't AD aware! That's huge for any windows administrator... these days everything is segmented by OU in AD. Geesh we even use AD for our unix/linux auth now with kerberos and ldap from AD. This should really be…

Wooohoo here we go again!

Fingers crossed!!! Dang you're on early superfly! I started today at 4:15AM in Arizona.

Nice find HerrDoktor​! Your website is pretty cool too!

Today there where two ITIL principals.

This makes is sound like you can't create a dashboard that everyone sees when they log in then???

As always that last question of the challenge is always so difficult o.O!

For sure it's more of a UK thing I'm pretty sure?

Traceroute and ping with icmp has lost favor years ago when people started using icmp as a covert channel to exfiltrate data through firewalls. I'm curious how netpath actually works? I've been thinking a lot about it lately.

Oh... I'd find a place!

Right they call me the SolarWinds SME here and it's just one of many "jobs!" Ironically not really my main one either o.O!

It's seem to me it's going to really really big... we're investing big time in ML/AI and also Quantum technology.

Yeah it's really disappointing to me a long time user of SunOS then Solaris. Oracle really ruined Sun. The Oracle DB licensing stuff and attempts to monetize java are really turning me off on anything Oracle does. Get this because of the number of Cisco UCS blades we have in our virtualization environment Oracle said we…

One things for sure... everything in Orion is dependent on the SQL Server performing. I often wonder the same thing as you Eric.

Just the fact that it's Windows and Linux in one tool is a big deal @"KMSigma.SWI" !
