        Find any that stood out from the crowd?

        No keep changing my mind on what to use for the prices 😄
        But the Dell X1052P look nice at the moment.

        Quite Expensive though.

        For what it is, that looks very reasonable to me. 48 1gb ports, 369W PoE, and 4 10gb SFP+ ports. But now I'm curious, do you have a favorite?

        I'm seeing a lot of HP and Cisco gear around, and most of you know my opinion on Cisco already.

        We're pretty much 100% on HP. Lifetime warranty is great.

          You still have to watch those warranties. A lot of the old 3com gear that they rebranded is still only 5 years. However, most HP gear is 10 or 15 year "lifetime", so still a better warranty that most companies.

            @black3dynamite yeah, PowerShell is still stuck in like 1982 here.

            No, I think all of you are stuck in 1982 while PowerShell has moved on...

              Unless there's a bleeding-edge version of Powershell out now that has that cmdlet, it doesn't seem to be native for 5.1.

              I know there's a module out there that does what your picture shows, but it would be nice if that was just baked-in.

                  That's promising then. Maybe in 5 years we'll have version 6 on everything where I work 😄 . It is telling that it took 6 versions to get that functionality.

                      This is one of my two major complaints with PowerShell. Modules that you just aren't told you need to load in so many guides, which Microsoft officially published many. They are working on a feature to automatically load a needed module on demand, like any decent management tool should.

                      My other complaint is output. I never quite know if a given output is going to be text, csv, or some other formatting. From a long-time UNIX user, this is frustrating. I know I just need to tell it to be sure, but that's just slowing me down.

                          Don't forget ones that break. We have scripts that have worked for years, but you update Windows and suddenly they don't run any longer.

                            True. It's very haphazard and amateur. Seems to lack a clear vision, more like a hodge-podge of different teams, visions, ideas. just thrown together and no one trying to make it all work.

                              When the output is an object (which is true I think almost all the time), I find the object useful. I haven't had the experience in the text-only output world to know what I'm missing there.

                                  It's always objects unless you purposely make it old school text, like when you mix in cmd. Exe commands.

                                    Dealing with this shitty Chinese software that "interacts" with Amazon. It doesn't work because it won't update from the server (throwing 403 error). Everything is in Chinese and support is only available during Chinese day time and in Chinese only. Their own support can't fix it and now this marketing person wants me to uninstall and reinstall it.

                                    You can't even run it without running as admin, so I had to create a Microsoft application compatibility exception just to get it to run in a regular user's account. Also, you have to switch the entire OS to Chinese to get it to accept the serial number.

                                    I don't trust this thing so much that I have a non-domain joined system that is connected to our guest wifi network.

                                    Waste of time/money.

                                      This is one of my two major complaints with PowerShell. Modules that you just aren't told you need to load in so many guides, which Microsoft officially published many. They are working on a feature to automatically load a needed module on demand, like any decent management tool should.

                                      My other complaint is output. I never quite know if a given output is going to be text, csv, or some other formatting. From a long-time UNIX user, this is frustrating. I know I just need to tell it to be sure, but that's just slowing me down.

                                      When the output is an object (which is true I think almost all the time), I find the object useful. I haven't had the experience in the text-only output world to know what I'm missing there.

                                      Ease of use, obvious use cases. Text is SO fast and SO easy. Object is more powerful, and I appreciate the reasons that they thought that OOP was the future (because they listened to every two bit 1990s Java professor) but in the real world of systems administration, it makes little to no sense and just causes endless problems.

                                        @black3dynamite yeah, PowerShell is still stuck in like 1982 here.

                                        No, I think all of you are stuck in 1982 while PowerShell has moved on...

                                        Unless there's a bleeding-edge version of Powershell out now that has that cmdlet, it doesn't seem to be native for 5.1.

                                        I know there's a module out there that does what your picture shows, but it would be nice if that was just baked-in.

                                        No, nothing new or fancy... just plain old PS6:

                                        That's promising then. Maybe in 5 years we'll have version 6 on everything where I work 😄 . It is telling that it took 6 versions to get that functionality.

                                        PowerShell 7 is on its way with some sweet (and much needed) functionality.

                                        that's cool

                                          The Dell X Series is a little bit old by now. At least they don't sell it anymore in Premier
