It's not always that easy. When you work for a company that has over 200 people in Security and you aren't one of them, you don't get to pick the rules on what you monitor and what you don't.

wabbottt Can we substitute the upload of the registration for something else? We have multiple DPA servers already, but I am not an admin on any of them. Therefore, I can't get to the registration screen.​

My junior year of high school, I took a BASIC class and enjoyed it. Got the high grade award in the class and such. I decided at that point, that is what I wanted to do. I enrolled in Computer Engineering in college ready to learn all about programming. First semester in, hated it. Wasn't good at it. Didn't understand it.…

Both of my kids love Harry Potter. We just got back from our trip to Universal Studios. The short time we were in the Harry Potter section was the highlight of their trip for the week.

Love this. Now, maybe I'll get off my a and actually attend the classes I have been saying I was going to for a while.

I've had lots of deep fried stuff at the fair, but never seen KoolAid. Now, to hunt down the KoolAid vendor next month at our state fair.

I feel for those trying to patch their systems. I was the "patching guy" for a couple of years. Glad I'm not that guy anymore. 

Today's question was tough. I had to use math. Luckily I had enough fingers / toes.

We are very cautiously moving to the cloud. Currently, our primary cloud presence is around developer workstations / servers. We have yet to move any production apps to the cloud. However, within the past year or so, we have created an internal cloud team to handle all things cloud.

I work from home so I can do my math in private. No one has to see me trying to count.

I think automation is a necessity regardless of cloud or on premise. In modern IT, there is too much to do to keep things running, so investing in tools is a requirement to stay afloat. We use puppet for a lot of our automation / build process.

My first month of all correct answers. Go ahead and send my prize. :-D

My son loves the socks I get from SW. Looks like I might have to get him a couple for Christmas.

Try upgrading your IVIM. There is a 7.0 IVIM to go along with the VMAN 7.0

Has anyone got the I'm sorry you are too late message? I replied back to G2 asking them why, but they haven't replied to me.

He only created the internet. I keep it up and running.

I apologize to any organizations that were breached. I didn't realize that only I could prevent breaches. I'll work harder to keep future ones from happening.

Does the prize include everything pictured? She's cute but my wife might not like it and it's another mouth to feed.

Here's hoping for a new Thwack hammock.

Loved the questions. Thanks for putting this together.

One company has fixed the issue of passwords. Just implant chips in their employees. Microchip Implants for Employees? One Company Says Yes - The New York Times

Honored to be selected. Congrats to all and Thank you Solarwinds.

Looking forward to getting NPM installed. We have it in test, but haven't rolled it out prod yet.

In the past two weeks we finally crossed the line from POC to purchase of VMAN. Interested in seeing what it can do that I haven't discovered yet.

Feeling lucky.

Hope no one got disconnected this morning when I rebooted the internet. At least Facebook is working again.

When we built our most recent datacenter (about 10 years ago), the executives and people that matter visited various datacenters in the US and took note of what they liked about each one. They then designed our datacenter based upon pieces of each one. The majority of the building was built with recycled materials. When…

VMAN is virtualization manager, which is the stand alone appliance. VIM is virtual infrastructure manager, which is the Orion module that allows Orion to pull in the data from VMAN OR act as a standalone module and pull data directly. So, technically, VIM is a separate entity, but as far as the question is concerned, they…

I choose to Thwack. Not really a question.
