Wow! Thank you! I am thrilled! So will my grandsons! On Mon, Nov 2, 2015, 5:17 AM maria.bungau <maria.bungau@solarwinds.com>

We use AirWatch since we have a mix of Aruba and Cisco Access Points and a variety of SSID's for various business purposes. Other than that, it's an all Solarwinds shop with NPM, NCM, SAM, OFSMM, NTA (which we only use for the corporate devices - we don't send Netflow back over the WAN - we look at top talkers on the local…

Do just one Google search or eBay search on something out of the ordinary and watch yourself get bombarded with e-mails and ads on every web-page you go to selling that out of the ordinary item. It's amazing the algorithms that are already in place.

We are all in-house, but at data centers separated by several miles. My previous employer was all in-house as well, due to tribal sovereignty issues. What belongs to the tribe has to reside on tribal land - so we built a full data center at a emote location that would have normally had a much smaller DC.

Thank you!

Dear Network; Not only are you lucky to have me, I am lucky to have YOU. Whereas the last network I was paired with demanded all of my time and attention 365x24x7; you only demand me 24x7 one week in seven.I have 6 weeks out of 7 to come for my 8-5 visit each weekday, and after that, I don't have to even remember you…

Watching logging in real time is the way we trouble shoot lots of problems in our ASA farm. We don't have access to the archives at the moment, but once we do, that will come in handy as well.

Thank you!

We recently have been upgrading many of our sites from S0/0/0 to G0/1 on our routers, so finding the ones that need to re-discover the interfaces has been fairly easy, but for 300+ routers, it was an entire day of my life I won't get back. Plus on the switch side, moving from copper to fiber resulted in another day of…

Thanks!, but not a jealous as my 24 year old son!

Luckily for me and my team, we are both management and monitoring. I honestly don't know how anyone could have NPM and NOT have NCM. They just seem to compliment each other so well.

Thank you Kurt H

I'm with jim.couch@loves.com on the answers to the questions. The best way to work database problems with Solarwinds products is to have the SQL team on speed dial for when things go awry, and including them on support calls is a MUST.

We have a plethora of "how-to's", spreadsheets of Access Points, Vendor Static IP's, 300+ Store circuit ID's and IP addresses, not to mention the Visio's of each major outside connection that could be point-to-point, MPLS, or VPN. I am very happy with the documentation that my employer has in place. It made my transition…

I liked WSUS alot more when we finally convinced management to put a box at the remote sites. Some Patch Tuesdays would bring the WAN to it's knees.

Thanks, but you're not as jealous as my 24 year old son!

The main issue with rolling out VoIP is having your dial plan in order BEFORE rolling out. You can imagine the headaches of duplicate DN's being issued at different sites, etc. occurring after the rollout. A simple rule for VoIP admins out there (and this is not an indictment at my current job, but at a former job). CALL a…

The A/C story rings true to me and my team. We had a data center get so got (how hot was it?); it was so hot that our newbie engineer, when sent in to power off everything (and he took this too literally while we were driving to the site) - the soles of his shoes MELTED. Instead of hitting the EPO switch, he went to each…

We use metric to justify WAN upgrades, but with over 300 locations, it's hard to justify on the far end. Mostly it's to upgrade the metro E on the home end.

I am thinking today's (8/26) Question should have had "VMWare" in stead of "Microsoft".

Roses are red Violets are blue Bit Torrent is bad And so are the sharks with frickin' lasers on their heads

I'll give it a try tonight and see what it looks like on a few devices in the morning. I'll rate as correct answer if it works. Thanks a bunch!

Thanks for leading me to the right direction. Once I setup a default group and put those devices in the group, I now have temperature gauges on all 6 devices!

IIS is running as NPM and NTA work fine from the web client. I'll re-run the configuration wizard for NCM. Thanks!

Thanks!!!

I think I figured it out - I first had to realize that killing the "builtin" IP address groups was not going to harm anything. I nuked the builtins and created my group and I think I am good. Thanks!

I could not add the IP address group as the 10.0.0.0 already exists and the IP's I want to split out are 10.61.8.0/24. Also, maybe since you are a Mod this thread should be in the NTA forum? I had not clue where to post the question at first. TIA, Lee

It's not really any reports, it's the darn dashboards. Lots of green lights with blinking red squares in the lower right corner.

Parker, Thank you, but the business unit dropped the request for port speed in the requirements for the report. Thank you, Lee

I have no idea! This was 8 years ago at a former employer!
