Oh and we monitor just about everything with NPM, NTA, SAM, SRM, VMAN, and now SEM is going into many areas to cover all the new audit requirements for CUI.

lololol! That's hillarious!

Staying in the Hotel between days was a good idea Danielle... you were right.

Makes sense to me...

The thwack store tells me how many of things I own. The backpack is a special case because after you buy it... it does disappear from the store but it's the only item that does this I think... maybe the shoulder bag does too but I've never gotten one of those.

Not sure I understand why?

I went without SAM or APM for a long time... I was missing out on a lot. Now with appstack it's even more important! With NPM & SAM you can cover 85% of the app stack. If it's a web app WPM fills in the detail and SRM will help to see if it's all the storage causing your problems.

It nice that some members are helping this year too.

Security yes more security related stuff please!

A few years ago I decided since I've been in networking/security/IT for quite a while I'd probably easily be able to get my CISSP. I am a CISSP now but the point is... it's not as easy and obvious as I thought it was going to be... it was like relearning a ton of stuff 100 miles wide and a only a few feet deep. It…

How many installers are there and I'm not sure I understand what the difference is...

I like the menu too.

Not a typo.

This is why social media accounts without your name on them is good! I also only use web versions and NEVER install the apps anymore.

We're going headfirst into VMware NSX and it's a big change in the way to look at the network, virtualization, and even network security. Virtual f/w contexts that move around with vm's... virtual load balancing... the list goes on.

It helps a little to just show all first so you can see them all.

Documentation does save the say. Sometimes it's hard for me to slow down enough to document things but when I do it often comes in handy later.

It looks like there are some great new added performance and backup updates to SQL Server 2016! SP2 just dropped. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4052908/sql-server-2016-service-pack-2-release-information

Thanks for fixing so early Wendy!!! Wendy is from Utah Radioteacher​!

The more you break out and reference 800-53 the better. It'll need to be updated periodically as well. Now we are falling under the RMF process to get to the point we can get our ATO's. Bill

I tried Control-F and got nothing like the page was an image... interesting that chrome gets around that... it's good to know.

Grats on another year of MS MVP. That's pretty legit for sure having a decade of experience doing it.

Array of Geeks! A Network of Geeks! Compilation of Geeks! A Party of Geeks! AD&D reference for those that didn't catch that! I could see them playing Dungeons and Dragons... lololol!

I was the same way... for years I never went then finally the past two years I've been able to go.

No reason to worry... they are mostly to make you want to get the real tools... it's kinda a tease of sorts o.O! Here you can have just a little taste but if you want to use this on anything but one device in many cases you need the non-free stuffs.

Nice NSA link there!

I've used the realtime polling for troubleshooting things... it works pretty well.

More DevOps... and what happens when you don't take the trash out!

I don't buy the blockchain either sqlrockstar​... 99% hype and 1% helpful.

Some of these guys really don't see the whole picture that well and still are thinking too much historically about Orion I think. It wasn't that long ago that it didn't scale as well as it does today. You could read that not being able to do 10G was part of what kept it off supposedly before, although I'm not sure I get…
