Great writeup. I became a CNE in 3.11 and 2.2 in 1993. I upgraded it to 4 in 1997 I think it was. But we never rolled out version 4 in my new job that I got in 1995. We went down the Windows NT route. So I did an MSCE in Windows NT3.51 in 98 or so and then upgraded it to Windows NT 4.0 sometime after 2000. The key is to…

I really didn't think it was that hard. Just got to read it closely and you'll be fine

Unfortunately I didn't get to vote all the rounds but I'm bummed Haddock didn't get through.

Solo will take it all the way. I'm not a Star Wars fan but all the ones I knew have long faltered.

Welcome to the party!!!

Totally agree! I don't blame the tools when something goes wrong. I'll then modify something within the tool to make sure it works the next time. To not test doing automated IOS upgrades to 50 devices is a mayor oversight. In fact most automated scripts should be tested first to make sure they'll work fine against all the…

10 out of 10 let's gooooo

This would be very helpfull. Now may already know this but there is a workaround to get the report into excel. Just open the report in a webpage and add &DataFormat=Excel to the end of the URL and press Enter.

Yes pro-active monitoring is where it's at. Which can be done easily enough if you know your network well.

Yup I see the answer now. Thanks!

Can't wait to check this one out. I still haven't gone to 11.5. So I'll skip that one and go straight to 12

This should say 14 characters.

I know this is late (been away for work a lot recently) but my Mum never had anything to do with me getting into IT. In fact, she doesn't even know how to use a computer and still only uses a basic phone. You know, the one that just makes phonecalls? But Mum did raise me and taught me lots of other stuff which probably all…

Nice new mission! I like the reference to Vanilla Ice. Rock on

The network here gets blamed far too often for problems and 9 out of 10 times, it's an application issue. But we always have to prove the network is fine. Even when we show where the bottleneck is, they'll still try and blame the network. It's a never ending battle.

You guys are doing an excellent job! Big thumbs up from me

Happy IT PRO DAY!!! High fives all round.

This is awesome. I've been waiting for NPM 12. I've never loaded 11.5. So it's straight to 12. Will do it in the near future. Thanks for making an awesome product even better!

Hooray for mini mission! I will have to make some time to watch Lab89. I'm keen to see what orion maps can do now.

Thanks maria.bungau​! I did spend about 15 minutes on it trying all sorts of alternatives but as the answer seemed so obvious I thought I'd better check to make sure the question was all good.

Cool. You obviously have too much time on your hands

Haha, July 21st's question was a classic. I learned a lot reading up on AppInsight. Good work.

I've just started using LA and I can't do a simple thing like forward a syslog to an email. Yes I can create the rule to fire off an alert, but I can't attach the actual syslog message to my alert. Here's my thread on this. Syslogs in NPM 12.5 Also in the past I was using syslog for instant alerting on link flapping. How…

I use one main dashboard that gives a good overview of the whole network - easy to see when something is down or there are issues. Then I have other dashboard for other teams showing what's more relevant to them.

I think Spinal Tap will be facing off with the Blues Brothers next round. That will be a tough call.

Happy days. 

Bump

My favourite is this ticket I got some years ago that stated "User called back, machine is now throwing up" I still to this day have no idea what the user meant

I missed out on voting this round, I was on holidays. Good to see Leela get on top. I don't have a favourite out of America and Marvel.
