I was asked to install ESXi on a server today. I get in and it's a Dell Poweredge 2800. Now I have to find a link to download version 3.5 and see if it even supports vm replication
Can you lie and tell them its not supported? How old is that thing?

That's like being told "We're giving you a new car." Come to find out that it's a junkard.

Crummy program anyway that a company takes money away from you. Save it and invest wisely in other areas.

You went the wrong way again.
Your response to seeing the hardware should be no.

What crazy IT manager is making these decisions? Who trusts you to run the environment but not to protect them from obvious blunders?

He's a good person that made a poor choice which is more than I can say for any of the other people I've worked for. I'd take a kind person with not a lot of knowledge over a terrible person with not a lot of knowledge any day of the week. There is so much I don't know, how I can turn around and judge these people? I think cultivating learning is the right direction to go in instead of judgment. Maybe I can have a positive impact on the employees here before I find new employment.

How is it "made" a poor choice? It's "continues to make poor choices when confronted with his ineptitude." What makes him a good person if he continues to make a bad decision even after knowing it is bad?

"Made a bad decision" = wanted me to put ESXi on this useless box and changed his mind
"Making a bad decision" = wantING me to STILL put it on nowIt's not something that he's done that is in question, it's the decisions being made right this second and that keep being made.

Your job doesn't define who you are as a person for one, but he clearly doesn't know that these decisions are bad.
