      Trying to get one of our managers to understand that software licensing isn't optional... this isn't the first time I've had this conversation with them.

      One place I worked had use an illegal copy of intelliadmin on all the govt agency computers. It was installed by my boss before I started working there. I even found the keygen on the network share. Sadly he didn't get in any trouble at all for a stunt like that.

      I'm working on removing admin privileges from everyone's machine so that stuff like this doesn't happen. Our ERP system requires it... but thankfully I've found a workaround.

      This was install by the sys admin so little could be done to prevent it. He even prevented me from installing antivirus and running scans over the network on his computer by counting to disable all firewall exceptions.

      A GPO should solve that problem for you.

      They were done by GPO. He have some batch registry installs he downloaded to run at login of his computer to disable any restrictions from the domain and he wouldbt use any computer with his limited normal account. He always loging as a domain admin no matter what.

          Trying to figure out what is wrong with this SBS2008 server that refuses to back up.

          I need a solid backup before I can move it to Hyper-V. You know, in case boom..

            It's SBS. I found your problem.

              Nah, SBS has worked great for years as long as you always use the built in wizards.

              Now, it is on the migration plan for this fall to move off it though.

                    I checked LinkedIn a few times a week. Not every day but most days.

                            So this on a posting "The candidate should demonstrate prior knowledge of most of the following: • SQL Server administration and reporting • ERP/MRP Reporting • Windows Server administration • Hyper-V with Failover Clustering support • Microsoft Dynamics NAV • C/AL, C#, VB, VB.net and PowerShell • Networking including firewalls, routing, VPNs, and SANs"

                            So do you want a DBA, Systems/Network Admin or a Software developer?

                                  I think this one may be worse for an IT Specialist. "Education (Transcripts Required): Completion of a Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree"

                                    A lot of the time these jobs are posted after staff has left and HR has zero clue what to ask for to fill the position so they shotgun it

                                      Also the reason I apply for things that ask for more skills than I possess - once you ask some pointed questions you can get a better feeling for what they really want

                                        I general don't want to be involved with a company that expect me to know how to program even though I know a bit of VB.Net and java. SQL is fine to an extent as it's normal I've had to administer it before but it's not my strong point.
