since we have sensitive data I have to shread the Hard Drives, but the remainder of the server, switches, firewalls, desktop computers and monitors are a different story. We have a Makerspace in the DFW area, so when my boss tells me to throw away excess equipment, I load up my car and go donate it to the Makerspace. 1…

What if they put in an answer "Find the attacker and smack him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper"? That could lower the possibility of attacks

I just use the Google Chrome extension "Care your Eyes" There are other extensions that do the same thing.

I have found that most times when trying to do your job (in compliance/security), just do your job...With or without permission. I have had many times where I have received the "We'll worry about it later," and they come back a year later in a panic, because of an Audit. I end up having long days to correct what could have…

I need SolarWinds to be able to Monitor Netflix for when my favorite shows have new episodes...

this is the first time in months that I have completed a mission. I always get busy at the end of the month and miss it because of the survey.

We fill all of the spaces in the Rack (using cover plates where needed). Ensure the fans on all equipment are pushing air in the same direction. switch to a virtualized environment, reduced 50+ physical machines down to 15. Most of our servers have the high efficency fans that spin up when needed. and most reciently we…

I already got hit last week on the question on the 22nd...so i'm just waiting for next months contest to try again for a perfect mission.

At my last job I would have to tell peopel all the time. "Stop trying to live on the Bleeding Edge of technology." this was mainly told to people who would put EA into production as soon as they got it.

definitely an easy one to over think, thankfully i read peoples responses before answering

Honesty is a double edged sword. I own up to any mistakes I make and am first to let people know, "I don't know." The benefits, when something happens in our network and I tell my boss "it wasn't me." He quickly moves on to the next person and harasses them to determine if they made a change or are fibbing. Also, because I…

could barely hear the video and couldn't fully make out what they were saying...failed too

went through the question a second time with the "no audio" suggestion...still bombed it Oh well

Call Centers. I my time in IT, The most lucrative knowledge gain has always been because of my time working in Call Centers. I have been able to hone my critical thinking skills, see how finger pointing brings no value, realize the importance of diving into products outside of networking, and patience; it definitely taught…

calculator is a crutch...real men use their toes...

After years of telling my wife I an a Network Security Engineer/Administrator, I have recently been upgraded from "My husband does IT stuff" to "My husband does IT stuff, and something about security. He hates my passwords." It only took me 5 years of Marriage to get a promotion, and I do hate her super insecure passwords.

As a Network Admin, 2018 has pushed me further into Systems Administration. Which entails: Microsoft Exchange, MS SQL, Debian Linux, MySQL, Active Directory, DHCP, DNS, Miradore, KACE and my worst enemy...Mac administration.

Last update on that post was July 2017, any modern updates on the cert? Will this cert be online or at a Pearson testing center?

i had an Issue similar to this some time ago (when I was playing with stuff I shouldn't have been). I just ran a repair on SolarWinds from "Control Panel -> Programs and Features"
