I would love nothing but to get rid of all the mundane tasks that keep me grounded!

First question of the month ... quite relieved. I have been working with SQL Sentry for about a month now and it is kicking my posterior! I uninstalled DPA because it is a crutch and I wanted to drill on SQL Sentry for the query level wait stats.. thanks for answering my prayers! We are a small install so I could not seek…

Heck NO!!!

Oh yes ... please !!!!

Wowza

I guess I was a little off topic.. the burn is still really fresh!! Your backups are only as good as your last restore!

Good job!!! Nice improvements! Thanks for all the hard work! So neat seeing the points rack up live!!! Too bad I missed today's question!!! I will be the only one to admit this!!! Laugh with me!!! Fill in the blank .. thought I had multiple tries ... so sad ... too bad!!! I am still smiling!

Amazing information, i am having a hard time keeping up! Thanks for your continued efforts to keep us informed @"ChrystalT" 

Bad question today ... ugh ... here is a better link to hint though .. and I still got it wrong! Datasheet - Server and Application monitor: https://www.solarwinds.com/-/media/solarwinds/swdcv2/licensed-products/server-application-monitor/resources/datasheets/sam-datasheet.ashx

So how long is The EDGE going to stay!!??? I heard that they will be tanking it 

I am preparing my network for SD-WAN, but we don't have any plans at this time. Our operation is driven by the 911 application!

I have been working hard the last year to get a better handle on Network Access Control. We all need 2 accounts, 1 for user work and 1 for elevated privilege; we rarely require elevated privilege. Thanks for the information, you have stimulated my thinking cap for today orafik !

Once I saw the comment below, I should have waited to answer today's question. Same here... sorry @"kpina" 

Millennial folks ... I am so very young at heart ... I have not been too impressed with the up and coming generation. The country club would be a waste of money for the new crowd... way too slow, and not enough stimulation. Although I continue to run into the pretentious, wet behind the ears ... I have the world figured…

Can you do that for week 1 / question 1? Kidding!!! 

Thanks for sharing! What an adventure! I feel for you on all the travel ... thanks for sharing your experiences and making the world just a little bit better!!!

I am blown away by the MS article. Thanks for sharing ... I am doing more and more research to get ready for the future... to get ready for the future.... how will you back up your data in the cloud? I just ran this exercise with my team... we just deployed O365 Exchange... I am not really in charge at this time.. so after…

I totally agree! I have never experienced anything close to what SolarWinds does for their user group! KUDOS KUDOS KUDOS!! and THANK YOU - makes the day, the job, just about everything between 8 am and 5 pm a little easier to navigate. If you are down.. go to SolarWinds, you will soon be smiling!

I really like the new format - you all have done a tremendous amount of work! GREAT JOB!!

This article motivated me .. I have the Kiwi Syslog Server set up .. the last time I really used it was during the migration to this site about a year ago ... I got down and dirty last night and basically re-deployed .... gathering data and fine tuning my filters. Thanks for the push!!! I am highly motivated to play this…

Thanks for the article ian0x0r​ yeah.. why all the sudden is an off site backup called "air gapped"

I do love that picture @"kpina"!!! Nice shirt!!! Made me smile from ear to ear!

I keep waiting for a picture a burning laptop and phone!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT POINT!! I failed to mention that above!!!

We had the Start Trek Fleet in house in the early 2000's at the City until one of the guys from the library named a server "MOTEASAH" ... now I will let you all figure that one out.. from a movie in 1993. laugh people laugh!

orafik Omar, I really appreciate you taking the time to write this article.. I have gone for the full article to add fuel for my security pursuit.

I agree, select all!

Thank YOU... I am trying to come up with a Twitter Handle... #SOLWINZEN ??

Great article, jordan.martin, I love the law of unintended consequences. I have had an exceptional amount of observation, and I rely upon my exceptional amount of common sense. I have a tightly coupled data center within my application. I have a very loosely coupled recording system! It does depend! I am so very glad that…

Good Job @"pete0275" - I know many families appreciate the fact that you are using those tools to assist! You are an intregral part of the success to keep families in touch during this very difficult time! THANK YOU MY FRIEND!
