Absolutely! Doesn't Everyone??? I can honestly say that I now know who has what, and whos on first! It was not an easy task to take back control, .... but I work in a smaller environment than most of you all, and I was able to get the job done.

Do the mission short cut this month .. .you can't afford not to .. you get 1K just for participating! Its EazyPeazy!!

You have me LMAO!!!! I will add that one too!!! Oh Jfrazier , that was good!

BIG CHEEZY GRIN ON MY FACE TODAY! Got my Thwack Backpack!! WOW!!! LIKE WOW!!!! Totally Cool - I was not expecting such quality gear!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!! Worth absolutely every point... and then some.. Thanks again for all the hard work every does to make this site what it is ...I AM STILL BLOWN AWAY! Like…

WOW ... surprised to be on the same page with a lot of others... I am rolling in the right direction!

Food Service put me thru college! I graduated totally debt free! (They made me graduate!) I took the budgeting and accounting skills on to now manage our IT budget! Every situation for me is a life lesson. [tag:SWUG2022] was another one of those experiences.I promise to get on Slack ASAP! Thanks for another great share…

AND... We are looking at adding ARM to SEM!

I really appreciate all the resources available! This has been an unbelievable time - our plan - 911 - we now have a DR site - we scrub one site then roll - ping pong .. I could have distributed the application remotely but without phones the application is meaningless!! Bumping up vitamin C .. and clean clean clean!

Awesome read ... great timing .. you are correct... and .. WE ARE ONLY AS GOOD AS OUR LAST BACKUP!! I continue to find ways to protect our infrastructure.... our users are the worst threat. I have seen folks around me get hit, and we have worked together to overcome the attack without submitting funds. Thank goodness for…

@"Radioteacher"sounds so very cool! I am jealous.. totally jealous! I am still here on-site and available for our Emergency Responders and EOC. Officially, El Paso just went communal with COVID today. You know.. this is not a tornado, hurricane, or earthquake, yet it is a natural disaster.

Thanks for the articles... is it true Papa .. Internet Explorer has seen better days!!! Sploder .. I hate to see you go ... perhaps I can limit your access!

Thanks to SQL sentry and DPA we have leveraged the tools to clean up the database as much as possible. When there are issues, we can now drill down to the user running what I call an "inappropriate" query. Amazing tools that totally hit the mark! I LOVE my database administrator! We have a mutual admiration society here,…

So power... yeah... power out at a major location .. I don't know if I am totally believing this ... kind of think there may be some IT jobs open in the near future... I can log in ,... see my balances ... can't do much after ... been down too long! way too ong for it to just be power .. don't you think?

Old fashioned, and yes, exporting a generous amount of information from solarwinds to add to the document. Word and Visio - I will put everything into a PDF format when I am done. As I built the site, I used Excel (and still have the massive book) to break down the different subnets and services. I have Brocade MLX, and…

I have a good one..... We have a NetApp filer managing our storage. I wanted to find that special "air gap" solution (off site backup copy of data) then mount it with a Anti Virus Solution to add another layer to the mix. I had vendors out there attempting to design a solution for me.. I finally asked.. is there anyone…

Oh .. I feel so cheated .. I just found you today at THWACK Camp! I am a generalist and rely upon folks much smarter than myself to provide my success stories. I have great work ethic, just lacking all the specific details to make me great in any one function in IT. I appreciate you sharing so much great information.

Ya'll need to check out the store.. I just scored some stickers, which are dirt cheap (its all free) and then there are some basement bargains going on ... they are just not advertising!! Get something for your co-workers... we have a small company, so I got a pair of socks for each and every employee this year!!! 

Wow, that is quite disturbing... no, I can't think of a legitimate reason to ask that question! OMG!

I knew I missed something during COVID! I started perusing THWACK and I am so very pleased so see the announcement. Can't wait to get started ... so my post from earlier today is not true.. I am not running the latest release! Thanks for the upgrade!

I have always used the Gartner report to assist with purchasing. It has only been in the last year that I have been cautioned about the statistics being presented in the reporting. It is definitely a good mechanism for feedback, but the weigh given this particular report should always be taken with a grain of salt. All…

Thanks for the articles @"sqlrockstar" Israel is using technology, specifically cell phone GPS coordinates to track those folks that are quarantined. https://www.cnet.com/news/israel-is-tracking-phone-location-data-to-fight-covid-19-reports-say/

Cool!!! I just found this... LOVE IT! Thank YOU!

I guess it pays to be late!!! So far so good!!! Rock on my THWACKSTERS!!! 

WOW! Are you jonesing? Do you need help with your justification? I ALWAYS say that the Solarwinds tools are more valuable that a FTE (full time employee) and you don't have to pay for benefits! I have a million justification lines for many of the different tools .., it really is a no-brainer! Good luck @"jeremymayfield" 

If we were in the cloud - we would definitely like to see the cloud provider's connectivity to our network. That is the most critical obstacle that I am going to face if and when the application goes in that direction. We have to have 5 9's in order to serve the public without disruption, no way could we go right now!

I had to read your comments... it was so horrible ,. I could not stop watching ... I loved lawnmower man!! I totally forgot about that movie until today!!! LMAO!! 

Right..., All the above!!!! 

Can I get a re-do?? !!! HA!

Yeah ..... I remember this jeep ... very cool!!!!

Bummer!!!! I hate it when that happens, absolutely hate it!!!! Get to cracking today!!!
