Learning how to do things against best practice @Dashrender is not the best thing for the client or the person installing it. If the person installing it, can't support he shouldn't be installing it!
Go and learn in a lab if that is the case.
how hard is it to install hyper-v, give it a computer name and an IP address? Then just go back to the computer, run the Hyper-V Manager to connect to it remotely, and you're off.
It's insanely easy, and means you never have to touch the actual hardware server.

You're kidding right? There is a huge thread here on ML where we were lamenting the fact that 5Nines killed the free version and that non domain joined Hyper-V servers are hugely more painful to manage without the 5Nines tool.

Yeah, it is not as simple as it sounds to connect Hyper-V Manager to Hyper-V Server in a non domain environment. It still has issues in a domain environment. But once setup, it works flawlessly.

I agree, making things "easy enough" for people who can't handle systems under normal conditions means that they are a huge risk to the business and way, way too costly to have touching servers. These are the people that MSPs love because they break everything and have to pay emergency service rates for people to do 10x the work it would have cost to have just had them run the system properly in the first place.
What does it cost to have an outside firm manage a single Hyper-V instance the right way? How much does it cost when one guy who doesn't know anything gets access and destroys the system and loses the entire company because he didn't know about backups, ransomware or so forth?

It depends. If you're installing an ISO from a different domain it can be annoying and depending on the amount of hyper-v hosts you have, storing it on the local host may take up a significant amount of HD space across your organization. Versioning can be annoying, which is why everyone is mentioning 5nine. You also have to setup delegated permissions to be able to manage the server from a remote workstation.
Now, I'm not sure what best practices are in relation to the firewall settings but I have read about complications with the local firewall on the host.
It's not just a simple name it and assign it an ip address in a lot of environments.

The OP is building a BDR plan and is trying to add in the option for same day delivery of hardware. Which is ignoring all kinds of possible real world issues.
Houston Texas anyone. . . .
-
@dustinb3403 Yeah, that guy has good intentions but hasn't thought his plan all of the way through yet though.

So this post is already deleted / removed, I'm not sure but what the hell? lol. .

@dustinb3403 maybe he just needs an RPi with a 20 port usb hub and a bunch of thumb drives...

That would definitely be the way to go.

How has this guy never heard of Dell DPACK?

First post, claims to make over 100K and is wondering if he should ask for more money as he works for a non-profit, and has be the sole person managing all of these massive projects.

Why wouldn't he ask for more money? Sole person at a 2500 employee company. I'd be asking for more money too.

Not just that but it sounds like he's actually doing a lot of work and improving everything. The one bad part of it is he's using salary.com to try to figure out how much people in his position make and it's not going to be accurate.

Sole person in a non-profit business and doing all of those supposed tasks. Either he's lying (likely) or he's a complete jackass for not properly negotiating his income.

Depends on how many sites he covers. He might be able to do that with vendor assistance while covering a single building.

Maybe, I can't really take it at anything other then face value. If he's lying then so be it. But if he's telling the truth he has every right to ask for more money. Or move along if they don't offer him more.

Size of company or number of IT staff is not really relevant.

Not really sole IT guy then.

He said in the topic (later on) he was the sole person implementing and defining all systems for the organization. So really he is a sys admin.
So the title is complete BS has director implies he has a team who reports to him. He dictates what the goals should be, and sells to the board so his team can implement.
