Thanks... securing a quote now!!!! Early Easter Present!

I keep forgetting about the Geek Speak Comments!!! I am still working on confidence to post! And you are absolutely correct ... I have found myself working with additional products because of the THWACK community ... it has definitely enhanced my Solarwinds abilities, which has made a defined impact on my day to day work.…

When I read Mrs.alterego's response, I said yeah .. that would be a much safer route. I still have the GNS3 downloaded, but have not had a chance to taste it yet. As mentioned above, and I hear your caution as well, be very careful if you do run any of the demo's for yourself. I "learned the hard way!" - it is hard when…

One more note to my notes above!!! on each server, I had to add them as local administrators of the server on domain controllers (you can't add local admins) - do the following: Open a command promt using the "Run as administrator" function and then run the following command. net localgroup Administrators /add…

Been there... done that!!! The HP tool is going to be your best bet!

The failed logins are really really important to catch... glad you brought that up rharland2012 I find this very useful in detecting anomalies ..... for instance .. my outside Engineer... just last night.... failed authentication multiple times to the VPN .. ... it only took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was…

WOW ... the 600 lb Gorilla ... and they don't care - I get the same from my Sales folks ... folks directly tied to VM Ware ... so pathetic that those people are put in charge of VM Ware's reputation ... self serving idiots ... very frustrating ... they should work to maintain and enhance their customers experience ... they…

Information is a powerful tool!!! Thanks for sharing! Falls right in line with my new facility ... SAM is one of the components that I will need to up the licensing on ... thanks for placing the document on a silver platter for me!!! I WILL INCORPORATE!!! Again ... overwhelming them with information appears to be our…

I am having the same issue. Did not realize, I was having a couple of issues.. oops. My NetFlow service would not stay started. The NetFlow issue was resolved when I ran a repair on the Core services! I am most certain that this has to do with IIS .. just have not hit the right solution. There are a couple of things left…

I went into control panel and did a repair on SWA, I then could at least see my server listed in deployments. I had this issue when I upgraded to 2019.4, but was fixed when I went into IIS and set bindings to the web site to HTTPS. @"michaeltking79" you may verify your IIS bindings ... its worth a shot. @"KMSigma.SWI" did…

How do you assess if you are taking advantage of all the feature available in any product? In Virtualization Manger Version 2019.4, is there a way to set a dashboard similar to the appliance? I really liked that dashboard, would you believe that I am still running the old appliance along with the new version! And, I want…

@"Dez"upgrade was a piece of cake! What meant more to me was a kind word from you .... you are a true Hero! You inspire me! Thanks for all the great information - I actually upgraded during one of Kevin's webinars! The upgrade platform is unbelievable - great work everyone!!! There will be no more scratch installs for me!…

I got in just a few minutes ago .. LDAP was not working, which really messed everything up. I was able to modify the config file ... called system.properties - I changed the url and service account - Had to become zen with the issue, then I was able to find supporting documentation: -…

@"mrxinu"so I could have waited and only posted once .. all is good now .. you need to rate how well you did before it will display the next card. SAM cards are working just fine!

 @"mrxinu" In the SAM module I could bring up one card and could not forward to the next ... then I got it working .. then it got stuck on the first card again ... thanks for asking .. I had not been back to try again ,.. I assumed it was a PICNIC! I will try to get back there later and let you know .. .I was just catching…

That is amazing! Thanks for sharing .. you have inspired me @"mrxinu" - my boss is now pushing for certifications .. I hate certs, but this sounds like more fun than work! I am abandoning the Palo Alto Certification and am going to focus on my true love, Orion! I am a true generalist and we are coming back into style!!! If…

WOW!!! @"serena" SAM is my lifeblood, my turn to ... along with NPM. I am so very pleased with what you all continue to do with these great products. Although I will remain in my private cloud for a couple of years, it is a relief to know that you all will have me covered when we hit the skyline! Thanks to everyone for…

@"jason.carrier" I was away from THWACK for a little while .. was so excited to hear about the upgrade! I have been taking time today to explore all the new features ... first time ever!!! I really appreciate the hard work that goes into each and every product. Thanks for making my job a little easier, and thanks to this…

This has been a very difficult time. I work for 911 - so each and every one of our dashboards if so very critical! There are only 14 people responsible for the day to day operations; there are 8 of us in IT. I monitor the storage, would you believe that I have both the old VMAN Appliance running along with the new VMAN…

@"Dez" - I am THWACKIN Off today ... taking time to explore all my products. I will have to say that my IPAM deployment needs some attention. I VOW to make it better with the upgrade! It would behoove me to take advantage of the integration with NTA!! I am digging the possibilities!

Awesome UI improvement @"Dez" - can't wait to implement. I wish I could take advantage of the automated firmware upgrades. Due to the nature of my business, 911, we have to be physically connected to what we are upgrading, with backup plan in hand. I got wind of the available upgrade after I was able to THWACK again!…

I found out about the upgrades... this is the first time I have had time to explore all the features of my products ... I really appreciate you taking the time to post this great information @"jreves" - since I am the owner of the products .. I can pull the trigger at any time... I do plan on upgrading soon - I can't wait…

THANK YOU! I too am getting windows dumb... this is great stimulation... going to check it out... I like where this is going!

You have done a very good job of documenting. I will try to use your document before the end of the month ... if I do .. I will let you know how it goes ... I have gathered similar information ... would be nice if you had a non-biased 3rd party try to use your instructions ... hope to let you know .... time is not on my…

Thanks AGAIN!!!!

Did I say THANK YOU!!! Finally getting to the documents! Getting ready to deploy the PA's in HA - have learned so much before the deployment - I feel really equipped to tackle this project and have good visibility after I stand the security solution up! I really love THWACK! I hope to help as many folks as you some day!!!…

Thanks for sharing - good information

Oh my, Solarwinds makes it so very easy to make you look so very GREAT! Take a minute and thing about what matters for the big guys! Looks are everything. I copied a couple of shots below - start big, then drill down into your environment - capture stats that matter, Solarwinds presents the "pictures" I need to tend to a…
