This guy is / wants to run spiceworks from his desktop running windows 10 pro.
A few issues, it's a desktop and will run like shit. the system is also being used to run your Goldmine Database (which will make the system run even more like shit) and lastly he wants to run the Network Monitor on it as well..
Clearly he's missing out on some performance, he should load up VirtualBox and run them all in VM's on that desktop. That'll help for sure.

Good to see the legend of Curtis is still going strong on ML. As a Christmas present I'm only asking that you never let it die. Please ML. Please.

IMO every thread is a Curtis thread just waiting to happen.

There are three at least, I think.

Bought servers and a lot of SAS drives and is now asking how he should configure the array!
WTF people.

This has to be the most common WTF in IT. I swear.

Before I knew Scott my favorite thing to do was search topics with RAID in them and sit back until Scott blew a gasket. Actually, it's still my favorite thing

So now you search topics that I'm posting on and blowing a gasket?

I can't even begin to understand why someone purposefully wants to downgrade their hypervisor (esxi) to continue to operate older VM's.
Maybe it's the hour, or the hang over, but wtf...

Has 60+ users without domain! I can't even...
Currently paying $2500/month for hosted services where his employees RDP into a remote server to access software. (sounds like they are doing a lot more than just hosting the software).
And he needs assistance with picking a server to host these same services in house.

On a budget virtualization, and wants help. Okay not a problem, what is your budget?!

60 RDP sessions for 9 hr/day 22 days a month, or $0.21/hr, It's probably not that bad for a fully hosted RDP session with all licensing, etc included.

It's just a terminal server. Can't be that bad.

Brining this in house could easily cost a lot more than this.
DC costs, HVAC costs, UPS costs, licensing/VDI/storage, etc, etc, etc.
We have no idea what type of infrastructure is on the other side of that $2500/month expense. If it's Scott's dream setup, $2500 is actually sounding pretty good.
This is like moving your email hosted. It MIGHT cost less to go hosted, but almost any situation that cost less will also likely be significantly less reliable.

That is true. With 60+ users he must have a higher level networking equipment (firewall most likely) somewhere at least, with some switches as well--bare minimum.

No need for a domain. I didn't look at the topic, but the idea that domains are needed is antiquated and was always a marketing thing. Domains are great, but there is no scale at which they are just needed.

We should never know the budget number. That's the cart driving the horse. You want to know the right thing for the business then tell the business what it costs.
