Yet their status remains green.

Anyone else getting this?

Anyone else ever get frustrated with ineffective management that thinks making up their own titles for jobs does more than actually providing a proper chain of command?

I work for a fairly large bank. Our manager left last October and has yet to be replaced. Just prior to him leaving, we had a CIO start that blew a massive amount of smoke to his ass, and no one questioned how she’d perform by looking at her prior publicly traded company role (bunch of grandiose promises, followed by a $2 million bonus, followed by her meaning to do it all again elsewhere. Here.)

She’s been trying to ‘merge’ two dissimilar sister companies together, despite the fact they are mostly cloud based and their internal users are all programmers. We are a consumer lending bank. All self hosted everything, VDI, etc. but hey, #oneteam.

Today, half of the team got title changes from “Infrastructure engineer” to “Senior Infrastructure Engineer” the other half of us… “Reliability Engineer.” Help desk became “Service Desk Engineer.” So, management decided to wipe their asses with the word ‘engineer’ and relegate half of us into the same pot as Tier 1 helpdesk. Certifications be damned.

Makes you feel loved.

What will the solution here be?

We have a hundred support boxes but usually the reps adjust the from field to be the main customer support box, I am being asked to come up witha solution to this other than having the customers just email the main support box instead of the hundred different ones.

I really don't know how to solve it on the 365 end via spoofing or what not.

Hey y'all, my org is moving to Nutanix HCI. Was just wondering if there is a place that would help myself and my team learn more on nutanix such as trainings, videos, courses. I know we get some trainings from the nutanix guys but just trying to be proactive looking for some information before they come onsite and install in a few short months.

This may be the wrong subreddit as I believe budgeting is more of a manager / director responsibility but I am an IT Manager and curious of how some of you handle budgeting for IT. Do you do a certain percentage increase across the board yearly? Any tips would help!

Hi,

I'm working up DR/BC plans, and wondering how to approach this scenario. I've heard of a company's entire Azure tenant getting corrupted, or somehow becoming inaccessible for a long time. We've got a hybrid AD, in an Azure VM-Windows Server. We keep files in a server share, as well as in like 50 different Teams/SP libraries.

I back up our server shares externally to an AWS bucket, in addition to Azure's built-in backup. I run test file restores once a month. We use Afi to backup mailboxes, Onedrives and Teams/Libraries. But the only backups of our AD are stored in Azure's backup; I've never tried to restore it.

Should we consider what happens if our whole Azure/MS365 tenant goes sour? Do companies keep an alternate domain? Testing the viability of restoring AD and Teams to it? Should we have a plan in case Microsoft goes south altogether?

Also, we're supposed to do vulnerability scans and network penetration testing, for our insurance policy. Should I be outsourcing DR planning and testing, along with scanning and pen testing?

Thanks!

Back in the 2000s, I remember we sold FreeBSD boxes with Squid so companies could speed up their 256Kbps ADSL connections. I even kept a Squid proxy for my home network.

Nowadays with fast Internet connections and HTTPS everywhere, is anyone using proxies for caching?

I havent been in this realm for years, but one of my jr. admins wants to deploy standardized images to the remote locations. What software have you had good success with?
