      Spinning up my server 2019 VM with AD, thinking I need practice with Hyper-V as well..
      thought?

      Single host Hyper V operation is very simple. I wrote an article over at @StarWind_Software's blog a while ago which explains the basic networking stuff (the articles there are all great). Could be a good starting point.

      More advanced topics include things like backups, MAC spoofing (required by VPNs, for example), VLANs vs multiple NICs (important for VPNs and firewalls for example), resource allocation, correct snapshot usage, different virtual disk types, underlying storage architecture (beware, that's the personal topic of @scottalanmiller :p) etc. IMHO, backups and the underlying storage are by far the most important things to learn.

      I prefer the learning-by-doing approach. You could, for example, build a working VPN server. Try SoftEther on a Linux VM, a really cool and free to use multiprotocol VPN server. Let it authenticate inbound SSTP connections against your Active Directory. Or play around with Veeam B&R.

        Thanks, I'll look into that.

          Sitting around a large office waiting for a phone port from HyperCore to Skyetel to complete so that we can check all the phones that we just installed.

            umm WTF?

            You use old school *67 call forwarding or carrier call forwarding during the pre port timeframe.

            then you already know everytihng is working because you were jsut forwarding to a SKyetel purchased number already.

                Tell you boss to suck a dick and walk. Is that in writing what your boss said?

                I'd go to the employment office right the fuck now and get this place hit with a bus.

                  His exact words were "You only have 1 hour and 45 minutes in billable hours to customers. why'd you put 7 hours on your time sheet? "
                  then I explained what I did for the day and what all I got done.

                    Then he responded with, "I'm only paying you for 1 hour and 45 minutes", there is no fucking way I'd let that slide.

                    Shit if you smoke, take a pen and flatten two of this fucks car tires.

                          He's an asshole, but not the ultimate decision maker. Assuming he is paid 7 hours, there is no violation.

                            True, for now. I guess the question would be has this happened in the past where he was actually only paid for a fraction of his time worked.

                                        I'll be back later.

                                        Calm down and be rational (as best you can) throwing a shit fit will not work in your favor. Good luck.

                                        sometimes you need to have catharsis.

                                          Sitting around a large office waiting for a phone port from HyperCore to Skyetel to complete so that we can check all the phones that we just installed.

                                          umm WTF?

                                          You use old school *67 call forwarding or carrier call forwarding during the pre port timeframe.

                                          then you already know everytihng is working because you were jsut forwarding to a SKyetel purchased number already.

                                          We have to manually swap every phone on the desks when it ports. So it is testing all the power and stuff.

                                            Boss just Told me I only had 1 hour and 45 minutes for my day at home because thats what I have in billable hours on customer tickets....

                                            WTF.... better to work for a gas station. Walk out, call the state boards, get a better job (even outside of IT) and be done with this BS. These guys are crooks and the more they push, the more that they will know that they can push.
