Not very out of date, but out of date enough to be a problem.
When he is being told by the installation media, that the OS he is using is invalid (to old) the answer is pretty simple. Which he refused to listen.
Yeah, that's just idiotic.

@black3dynamite the guy above him, setup centos7 and needed clarification on what to do to complete the installation. Which I helped him with without issue.
Then he jumped in and said
JAHolcomb @JAHolcomb 13:23 Quick question, Sniteit says I have an invalid ubuntu version: 17.10 Why will this not install on this version?Wow. I could only guess he didn’t even try to reading the documentation before deploying.

I honestly have no clue, this was a 5 minute conversation at most. Of which he continued with "I'm dusting off this old server because I have an immediate need" and "why doesn't it install" and "how can I make it install"
Rather than going with, well shit the installer is telling me it won't work here, let's try an updated distro and see what happens.
-
Snipe-IT has a few requirements of which there is nothing particularly odd there.
Why he would want to stick with outdated software. I have no idea, but I'm not going down that rabbit hole.
-
The simple fix is, "update" and try it again. Nothing odd at all.
Instead he keep with "I want to use this"

If his need was immediate, doing a fresh install correctly is way faster than fighting with a bad configuration.

That was exactly my point.
How could a need like this exist without infrastructure in place, I don't know. But it just doesn't make sense to the point where I can't even begin to understand.

I tried using their install script on a fresh Ubuntu 18.10 install last week and it said unsupported. So I just spun up Fedora 29 (which I wanted to use anyways) and it worked like a champ.

So multiple companies nationwide (5+) are merging... 700 employees total.... currently 1 of 3 IT people (no plans to hire?) ... only a CFO making decisions... 1 year into merger ... I am only IT & Global admin on new O365 domain.... CFO hired 'long time colleague' and MSP vendor to 'run the show'..... his personal cc tied to domain ... tried from day one to do pre-plan IT due diligence ... was shot down... Logged into admin portal to set up new user and what do I see.... 12 non-user accounts ([email protected], [email protected], etc) ALL with E5+EMS3 subscriptions.... So send Vendor email and here is the convo....
Me: why are subscriptions being used here?
Vendor: They were initially listed as regular users on their sheet. They are going to be transitioned after their migration.
Me: Why are we paying for subscriptions instead of using Group or shared mailbox?vendor: Unfortunately it wasn’t until yesterday I learned they aren’t actual users using those accounts as primary accounts. As mentioned after the migration we will determine what is the best option for the need. But don’t want to make licensing changes during the migration. If these mailboxes are in need of being added to a mobile device they will need an exchange only license. There may be other determining factors besides that that will make the decision. We are still determining which type to switch to after the migration. But shared or groups may not be an option given the needs. But they are being considered.
Me: If you are not checking prior to migrating, that is a huge problem.
This should have all been determined prior to migration. (Was not included or made aware.)vendor: It was determined that they were regular users before the migration and that is why the licenses were assigned. As I told you yesterday(vendor was told yest.) I was told that in fact that not be the case. It is not a problem to adjust after the fact if that needs to happen. And as I told you there have been discussions around that already. It is not a problem at all and can be easily adjusted.
At this point CFO, and two others are copied.
CFO to me: How exactly is this a huge problem?
(okay this is where I WTF - you are a CFO?????
$525/month unnecessary expense for starters - huge ethics issue on vendor and CFO - who oh yeah - is the one who authorizes his expenses to be paid.)I did respond.... but please .... chime in and tell me your thoughts.... find a new job is taken LOL....
Personally, if I could I would fire both CFO and Vendor.... not up to me. But did feel good to vent! -
@JROK Respond exactly as here, IMO.
Or take it to the CEO. This is clearly bad.

@JaredBusch
No CEO .... only a CFO... -

This means that the CFO is the acting CIO. He may not have the title, but he has or has taken on the responsibility. Something I always do to enforce clarity is make sure everyone in the organization know that the CIO / IT Directory / IT Head / IT Manager etc. is the person making the top level judgement calls.
People who don't know what they are doing, and that no one would logically allow to run IT often do and get away with it by refusing any title associated with it and push that title to someone under them. This gives a socially accepted indemnification from their own actions and a natural scape goat. By making people realize and verbalize that the CFO is running IT and all problems from IT decisions and theirs, it helps to hold them accountable and allows the organization to visualize solutions.

No CEO .... only a CFO...Every company has a CEO. It's a law. They don't have to have the title, but they have to have the role. It's a legal requirement of filing to be a business.
