That's a good idea. It looks like we are going to have about a dozen W2003 servers hanging around past the date. Might borrow your idea about the firewall rule. Maybe we need to move them to a separate VLAN while we are at. hmmm.. The possibilities.

Nice view of the backyard. Interesting article on the 5G and Unix Time. Thanks for the post!

Helpful and informative. Next week, planning on evaluating this product.

I agree that SNMP traps due allow you to get more real-time. 

That's the rate in middle America for most of the small towns and small counties. 

I guess I should have joined this board along time ago. 

I was just undergoing this same task for our environment. Getting ready to build a script to connect to each and grab the configs. Then diff them against my "master" and then put them back up. I want to ensure all alerts match and the same basic metadata is active. 

It seems that alerting is the issue as we are building policies similar to what you describe.

I really like that idea. That would be awesome and hilarious at the same time. 

Fun group of articles. Interesting reading. Curious to see what Microsoft is planning. Definitely thinking the Clown despite some peoples fears would be pretty kewl!

I agree that would be nice. Within an HTTPS SSL connection from the trusted web server, having the second secure connection SSH I think this would be very beneficial and the security risks minimized.

Educational.

Mine looks like your screen shot as well.

Interesting article. A debate that will continue to be waged. 

Good information.

Did you ever get this resolved?

I enjoyed this posting. I like the tact of asking questions related to actual needs versus just jumping on hype. For my organization, on prem will remain with only a few required cloud connections. Thanks for the article.

Thanks!

I agree. It must be a top-level approach in both technical and application areas with high levels of communication. Changes can happen from all directions and by having communication at all levels creates a flexible infrastructure to allow review, explanation, and implementation of the necessary changes. Keeping the…

Fortunately, our team is broken down to three people to make changes but the compliance features of Solarwinds has been very important to us. Good posting.

Geez if work hadn't gotten in the way on Friday, I too would have liked the cartoons and remotes! 

Good general information. Thanks!

Interesting concept! 

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

This is so the sentiment I have. Good Luck in your future endeavors!

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for this information. Good posts!

I am a big proponent of using the static reservation within the DHCP server. That way you could manage the allocation but still rely of the DHCP benefits. Thanks!

Thanks! Interesting article.

Always interesting to look back to see how technology influences how we do our jobs.
