Well you're talking to the right guy.... HAHAHA

• Cast Iron everything is awesome. Love a raw iron pan that's been seasoned. Great stuff
• Pressure Cooker!!! got a tough cut of meat or need to cook something quick but awesome? pressure cooker
• Outdoor Kitchen....yeah, we've got a pretty sweet fryer, a two burner "stove", and a grill and sink, makes fish/seafood, chicken wings, etc much nicer than having to fry inside.
• oh and cast iron. love cast iron haha

i use max focus every day. like every day. i dont know what remote access issues the queen has had, but i've not experienced any of that . You can use Vipre or Bitdefender for your AV engine, and i never have any virus problems out of my clients who use either. Vipre is easier on the system than bitdefender. BD, looks nicer. once you tweak your monitoring templates it's great. as much or as little data as you'd like. Sorry you guys had problems with it if you'd like to have me consult in on the config let me know.

looks like around 450 round trip from down here.

i'm small beans though. a large hill of small beans

I run my biz off of freshbooks and MaxFocus (formerly GFI Max) and I love it. one stop shop for AV, Monitoring, Patching, Remote Support, etc. I dig. They even have a Service Desk add in (that i dont use) that you can use for ticketing, and project management I think.

fire @Mike-Ralston he has failed this city.

Yep, not had good luck with ANY upgrades. always did the upgrade, then a fresh install. solves all sorts of problems.

as for nics, i'm not sure if it's required, but i think you need 2-3 per host.

OK, now help him JB.... since you've ball busted on syntax

@Baustin213 You guys don't publish pricing. I know i normally avoid a company that offers a pretty static product without pricing. but that's just me

up to 1.5 tb of data.

ha, yeah scott and i were on the same schedule this morning. i'm hoping today is nice and easy

@scottalanmiller unless it applies, then it applies. if it doesn't, it wont. ok?

Yep, word too. @Dashrender told me about it this morning. He said they released the patch with the same kb#, and just running M$ update again fixes it. has worked for the few that i've had pop up this mornin.

and you've also got to learn how to handle stuff on your own. There are many MSPs, ITSPs, whateverSPs around here that more than likely would never consider picking you up because of how PUBLIC you are with EVERYTHING going on. Scott is your mentor apparently, you should have had this conversation with him on the phone, via text, or email. IMO

so by that logic, there have been critical department crashing tasks that only you can do, that haven't been being completed since you've been gone? Dude, you've got a job as a worker bee, work. do what you're told. If you're a manager, then you get to think (as much as the GM will allow you to atleast) and manage your department. If you're not a manager, do as you're told. It's literally the least stressful position to be managed, your job is to do as you're told, as long as it's ethical.

Art is right, just get a computer and quit yer cryin

this is valid. but free isn't always evil either.

Hrm, I can't seem to see any of them...Thanks Adguard
