          @scottalanmiller Eh, I don't think muting you was called for but I can understand the confusion. A lot of small business owners attempt to take over an IT role and quickly learn they don't have the necessary knowledge to do so. You kind of tore off the bandaid for him and I don't think he could handle it 😄

          If he's a businessman and can't handle being told he handled the situation wrong, he's worse off than if he was an IT pro in the same situation.

            But for what? Because Scott told the guy he spent 2-4x on licensing that he didn't need to? Because the guy who posted was not informed about licensing and so probably just spent thousands of extra dollars, unnecessarily? Excuse the political reference, but SW seems to respond to a lot of things the same way Drumpf does. Ignore it, bury it, or just block out someone who will question them. But yeah, the guy seems like he screwed up bad.

                I've been told by more then one SMB owner/manager that they can do IT better then their IT staff, if they just had the time to dedicate to it.

                One would hope that they could, given the bad averages of IT work out there. Look at the average poster some places, they are literally just "buying IT" and buying it badly. If their managers couldn't do it better, that would be pretty sad.

                    I get muted several times every day. It's crazy. Today both times were insane.

                        That's part of the reason I stopped posting three years ago this month. But meh, not going down that rabbit hole.

                          I am just curious to know who requested it? I doubt it was Chris from MS. It was probably the OP complaining to CM that people were making him look bad. Well, he f***ing deserves to!

                              He changed his story to needing twice as much licensing. He needed only two VMs in the original post. Now he needs three. So suddenly the doubled licenses are correct. Is that correct or is he just covering? We'll never know. But it's plausible.

                                          But i got a good news, yesterday my adviser confirmed I will graduate on May 2017.
