Nah, it should just be instant so that it can be made quickly and efficiently

Great selection of articles!

Worst idea ever. Better idea would just be to remove the vote down option. It's kinda like "if you've got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". And one thing I've noticed is that new members tend to go through all the ideas, polls etc just to get Thwack points. So polls from years ago that are no longer relevant…

They sure were funny videos! It was email in the olden days

We rolled out VOIP about 4 years ago. A checklist was made at the time along the lines that you've mentioned. VOIP DHCP scopes were created, PoE was installed & user manuals were created. Then we rolled out the phones and changed each extension to an IP one. The whole setup was pretty painless. Just some prep work at the…

Happy birthday Thwack!! I was a little confused at first as some years ago I won a Solarwinds 20th hoodie but then I realised this post was about Thwack not Solarwinds. And I'm wearing my hoodie each day as it's winter here currently. Congrats on this milestone!

Just posted in Spread The Word.

Yeah very handy when working remotely on a device and all of the sudden you loose contact to it due to a bad command.

Me too and got the green tick as well.

Buy Solarwinds!

Great idea!

Totally agree and thank you for putting this information up.

Whilst Solarwinds is primarily our networking tool, I do allow all the other teams read access to all the data. So if the Wintel team gets complaints about slow access to one of their servers, they are able to check the network to see if the issue is there. I've created some easy to read dashboards, so issues are spotted…

Awesome!

It's tough being in my time zone

Sweet Home Chicago!

Very nice, love your work.

I too got it right.

When the mission is completed! Oh wait.... wrong thread

Love this one!

Congrats to the winners! Well done

Great product!

Look forward to seeing more in IPSLA. Thanks!

My favourite line in the article "Most IT teams focus on the hardware, after blaming and ruling out the network of course." I'm in the network team and we're forever having to prove the network is fine.

I have a set of fingerless gloves. They came in handy when I was in the freezing cold in South Australia for the 2000 Olympic torch relay. I was able to type and most of my hands were warm. Except of course my finger tips, they still froze.

Onwards and upwards as they say! I'm looking forward to the new Thwack.

Have fun!! I really enjoyed Cisco Live 2015 in Melbourne. Wish the US was closer to me

maria.bungau The mission certainly provided useful information on what NPM 12 can do for us.

The engineer's toolset has this utility in it. I always wondered why it wasn't available in NCM. Great idea!
