Well .. this is special! ... so ... does WPM display ? 

You know @"cnorborg", you are right! But for an old dog .. I am keeping up with the pack! I have not done this alone. I use much smarter people than myself to succeed! 

I watched the demo today ... nice improvements - am looking forward to the new endeavor... I am willing to let go of the old !!! Tracer-T (loved it... and I still laugh too mikegale​ )

I could have not said that any better!!! I am totally about the lights, feel, smell!!! They should add that to the OSI model!! You have to be in tune with your equipment, very easy to say that all the lights are on... simultaneously blinking .. WOW ... that was not good! Thanks for sharing rschroeder and... experience is…

I just voted, it was easy to cast the vote for SolarWinds. I attempted to vote for additional products or services, but felt that the list was not properly populated!!! Seemed a little biased! Go NPM!!! and,,,, THANK YOU!

Nice write up and comments; we have been toying with o365; it is FIPS compliant, so it does meet our organization security requirements. I do like taking a little stress out of the mix; I really don't care to be hosting exchange inside my house!

Wow - I ran into that same issue when I created my DR Site (private cloud)! Found out that my "company" users owned the world. I have since fixed. Even my DBA and Application Managers now have a service account and a user account. I have been cautioned about 2012 R2 and administrative accounts; AD tends to shut down those…

How do you make security tangible? I am taking this document to my repository!!! Thanks for taking the time to share!!! I am working on governance this year, and have found a lot of helpful formation right here on THWACK ! MTTR (Mean-Time-To-Resolution) - love it ! Oh yeah... and I am going to use it!!!!! Thanks again…

Me too! Man .. I thought that I was quick this morning .. you all really got it going on!!

Thank you ... you were right... the question was easy ... but I have halted my arrogance ... I now want to get every question right, so I take a few more minutes.. there is no reason to get it wrong and miss out on the points! You have no idea ... after the data center cut... I got some rest .. and am no longer rushing to…

Sprichst du Deutsch?

Thanks for the additional info @"cheryl1" - can't wait to upgrade!!!

Congratulations @"ChrystalT" ! You are my hero! I LOVE SOLARWINDS!! (add to dictionary) I too have worked my way to my 2nd dream job #1 would be working for SolarWinds! I am so proud of what I have done for my Organization that stems to my Community! I have never had such great tools to make me look good! You inspire me…

As .. I may have to change my current platform .. Brocade broke up .. and it is breaking me up .. lack of support .. lack of pride .. lack of customer service ... I am headed back to Cisco .. I do believe

Glad you posted the above rschroeder ! I saw the comment regarding points, and the inability to gain momentum, and thought ... "you are not a true thwackie yet" There is so much to do, so much to read and learn, I wish I could spend all day Thwacking around! This is quite a nice game; I look forward to what is going to…

Work ethic!!! What filthy language! I am so pleased that the buck now stops with me. If I did not do it, then I will take full responsibility! If you do not allow me to do my job, well, that will be documented too! I imagine it is easy to get into a rut, I am too hyper for that to happen, thank goodness!

I told you to use Google!! an extended period of recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling the action of leaving something one previously occupied

Congratulations ya'all - have a good time!! Totally jealous!!!

Thanks everyone for sharing the correct link for hint today!! I really like SolarWinds 404 error page!!!

I was allowed recently to fight for the right ... to decrease the data center footprint. We just built a new facility. The space allocated was tremendous, and I had to use documentation being pushed by the Feds and I had to bring other folks to the party to explain why we no longer required such a massive space to operate…

I have noticed other vendors using Evangelist to describe themselves... we must note it started here at SolarWinds first! You all are the original Evangelist! And .. wow.. there is a lot of info... thanks @"ChrystalT" - I do look forward to your postings!

 I like the new look and feel. Sorry for your inconvenience, but out of every situation comes an opportunity! I see all the hard work and effort that has gone into this fabulous platform, and am amazed at what you all have done in such a short amount of time. These times are hard, and I would like to thank every employee…

Registered!!!

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. I often have to remind management that the cost of one breach could cost us more than all the tools that I ask for in order to be proactive. It is not EVER a matter of IF, is is ALWAYS a matter of WHEN! I appreciate this article, and will use points you have made to add as an argument to…

Because I just deployed a new site, I am a little behind... BUT... SOON, I will have all the documentation back up to snuff. I would also like to put an emphasis of network diagrams, but 10,000 foot level as well as detailed diagrams. I get audited every year by the state. Another point to bring up... auditors are now…

thank you!

I am glad that I am not alone .. I really thought more people would be using SD-WAN ... these surveys have been eye opening!!!

oh man .. you got me!

Good job .. I like the screen shots .. very helpful information

I am also looking for side by side comparison of vendors. Nice article ..
