True: CAT6 is finicky and takes a lot more effort than CAT5e
False: You need to be certified.

are any of your time services running under a domain accoutn instead of Local Service? Sounds like a service does not have permission to update the time

Windows Time is set to run under "Local Service" (not local system account)

@wrx7m said in UPS Replacement:

I had 4x TrippLite 3U 3000VA units with their SNMP Webcards for network monitoring and control. The webcards were horrible. I always had issues with them locking up, losing certain settings upon reboot/power-cycle (which required them to be physically removed from the chassis) and had to replace several of them. TrippLite support was just as bad as their products. I loved getting woken up by my PRTG alerts at 3 in the morning when it couldn't communicate with those stupid cards.

At the 5-year mark, I finally ditched them in favor of some Eaton 5PX3000RT2U units with the NMS network card. I had already been using 2 of those for over a year without issue for my edge switch rack and am using and am mostly pleased. So I now have 6. I also have some 3rd gen PDUs and EATS 120s. The only thing I don't like about the ATS is that they don't have the ability to control the individual outlets, hence the additional need for a PDU.

I really like the Eaton 5PX line myself. Never upgraded the one we had with the network card tho.
