        My niece graduated college over the weekend. She graduates from high school this week (yes, college came first.)

        Ceremony dates do not mean anything.

          She actually finished the college classes first.

                    Living the dream in the world of Windows Server Slowness.

                    Living in the dream in the world of Azure where everything is like Windows 95... Make a change, and reboot your VM, which takes somewhere beteween 5 and 15 minutes.

                    And the cost... Just... I can't even... [EDIT: Lots of Policticking involved above my pay grade].

                    Why you running VMs in Azure?

                    I imagine somebody higher up the totem pole heard the buzzwords "Cloud", "Azure", and "Microsoft" from the same person and they said, "Oh, we NEEEEEED this."

                    My boss is not happy about it at all, but they put some money towards it, so we have to use it at least for a couple more months. My boss is definitely interested in cloud-hosted stuff, but not with Microsoft, lol.

                    As to Why? It's hosting some stuff that integrates with our public web site (which will also likely wind up 'in the cloud' if things keep going the way they are now).

                    It wasn't a lot of Money, but my boss is tracking all our time for managing it and learning it to show the real cost of it. And the numbers ain't pretty at all... We spent 15 minutes waiting for a Server 2019 system to be restarted yesterday... I can't wait until the first Azure outage hits, lol.

                      Yes. It's a shroom that when eaten allows you to see the network information for a VM about which you think in front of your eyes like a heads-up display. 😄

                            But... did any of it make you happy like they promised?

                              Not a fan of Netgear, but they do generally work.

                              THe optiplex's might be decent basic KVM hosts for a small lab, but otherwise, meh, old junk is old.

                                  the Optiplex 9010's are "loaded" have dual NIC's and 16GB ram so lab vmware/Kvm/Hyperv hosts. Switch does work it may route not sure yet, and has 8 PoE PLUS ports and the rest are regular PoE; but no console port all config through web browser or SSH cli. The tower server's junk. Someone also left some old Juniper AP's that went right in the trash.
                                  Not super happy but the switch is good and no pink slip.

                                    I was thinking a lot of times, people spin up a VPS when they can actually go serverless. It's cheaper and more reliable, potentially.

                                      QuickBooks this morning:
                                      Oh, you want to have a report emailed to certain users on a schedule? No problem! I just need you to turn off UAC and leave QuickBooks running, logged in to your company file and running in single user mode.

                                      What idiot at Intuit (or whoever Intuit bought QuickBooks from) thought that this was an acceptable solution? I can understand the need for things like a verify and rebuild, but for running and emailing a simple query report? Anyone with the correct permissions can manually achieve the same thing in multi-user mode...

                                      Once again, due to Intuit's extraordinary ability to screw up basic functionality, I need to create a custom app, using their own SDK, that I can automate with the Windows task scheduler.

                                        You sound like they have enough developers left to do more than give it a facelift every couple of years. Don't get me or @scottalanmiller started on Intuit and QuickBooks.
