I love my ORION deployment! I continue to tweak and create maps .. this has been a life safer for the 911 District. I do plan on complementing SolarWinds ... maybe ... with VRealize Operations Manager from VM Ware. I have tasked VM Ware to prove to me how this tool will compliment not complicate my environment. You only…

You know that's the facts!

I love this write up! Thanks @"ChrystalT" Hope you will be in Austin .. would love to meet and honor you in person!!! Thanks for always inspiring me to do my best.. . and just a little bit more!

Good information ! I have taken our environment further than I could imagine ... not in my wildest dreams did I think we would have all the servers and all the desktops virtualized. We are in a very focused environment that had done quite well, and benefited from the transition. I do see 911 operating in the cloud in the…

I hate it when work gets in the way. The live experience is so much more fun! I do plan on the replay! 

I thought it was funny... I did save the information for the CCSP!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am in over my head with Sql Sentry! Still... it is more a time thing than anything... I am the network engineer; I have a in training DBA! SQL Sentry is giving us just the surface? I can dig and drill to the computer or query causing the issue... but I still don't have the application set up properly…

Everything we need to know!!! Thanks orafik Believe it or don't .. the Government, Department of Homeland Security ... is doing a really good job assisting other government agencies ... FOR FREE!!!

Whitewater Rafting ... I got it!!! I do it... I would wear it!

I do so look forward to your posts! I have really enjoyed the links to articles! Working on 3 major projects so your posts are a nice diversion for a minute or two!!! Hope all is well in your world!

I like the information, and am looking forward to your next post ntimms ! Thanks for taking the time to share. You have provoked my thoughts about a future purchase I was considering .. almost like you stopped me from doing something stupid ... that is harsh .. how about not practical ... ANYWAY.. thank you !

This is GREAT news. I did demo the Storage and Performance Monitor a couple of years ago. The cost was outrageous because it was based upon disk. I found that they have since changed the pricing model. I am interested in trying the free tool. Thanks for the post!!! Had not idea! This was very informational!

Interesting reading - thanks for sharing - provokes thought

Wow - I am always amazed at what you all come up with .. thanks for sharing

WUG WILL RETURN

I messed this one up all on my own ... cept I did get 8 right . just now .. but ... I still would have missed as I got ahead on my answers ... that is a techie move .. rookie ... ugh ... 30 years .. still doing the same thing... @"kpina" this puzzle was fun! Thanks for working so hard for our lovely community ... VM Ware…

Happy Birthday!!! Can't wait to see what you all have to announce!

I want to add one more thing to thing about from my perspective!! I was talking the subject with my husband over the weekend, and he brought up the similarities to the FCC. Does anyone remember when anyone could put up a radio station? There were mom and pop radio stations everywhere!!! When the FCC (Government) stepped…

Is not every day a vacation at THWACK? !!! Again ... that grass is always greener on the other side of the septic tank!! (my favorite Erma Bombeck quote!)

Congratulations! I just clicked on the link... I thought you were already Evangelizing!! Well deserved @"ChrystalT" I could not be more proud of you and your continued contributions to our community. Have a THWACKing day my friend!

I like what you say .. I am very frustrated ... have to act like a 5 year old to get people to listen... it finally worked .. we have a line item this year .. security assessment .. it is a start ...

Between the tools that my employer purchased and the tools that I have because of my MVP status.. I am rocking the house!!! I have never looked so good!!!

I am hungry now!!!

There’s some polymorphic In our Summit – I wonder how it got in there? It’s hijacked the network It’s ordering laundry With its hooks in the firmware Wreaking data sorceries It’s scanning all the ports On IOT devices Its propagating everywhere Creating financial crisis But we see it in the network flows The fan-out makes…

I just got to read " 4 Types of Idle Cloud Resources That Are Wasting Your Money​" and I have added this wonderful information to some of my documentation. A couple of years ago "THE CLOUD" started popping up in conversation. Most non-it individuals really did not understand the concept and theory behind "THE CLOUD". I was…

I can totally relate; I have matured as an employee (I still refuse to grow up!). I have taken a different approach, and it has made my job so much easier and enjoyable. I no longer pop off to what I might think are irrational requests, and I now say, "ok" let me checkitout. It has allowed a bridge of trust to develop…

Ya'all need to hook up with my friend!

Learning SQL Sentry! I have it up and running rather well, I am having authentication issues (annoying SMTP alerts) - it is an amazing tool, developing with our soon to be database administrator, or database administrator in training. Because I was quite familiar with DPA, I have made a smooth transition, but could use…

I knew I forgot something... I absolutely love your picture!
