    • Certifications

      I have been a generalist/jack of all trades IT guy for 20 years. I have been laid off and while I'm looking for a job I've been thinking about getting a certification. What are your thoughts on certifications? What would you recommend? Do employers value them? I don't have a degree. Are cloud certifications worthwhile to get?

    • Router Limits Hardware

      I am looking to buy a piece of hardware that does parental control and can be easily be added to a home network. Does anyone have experience with Router Limits? Good or bad? Please let me know your thoughts.

    • Bed Bugs

      Anyone have experience with these? If so did you call a professional and spend 2,000 or use a DIY method? What were the results?

    • Dell Drive Warranty Status

      I have several failed Dell SAS drives and have no way of knowing the service tags of the servers they were removed from. Any way to obtain drive warranty status by the drives serial numbers?

    • PowerShell Error
      function Repair-SophosUpdate {
      
          [cmdletbinding()]
      
          Param(
      
               [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
               [string]$computername
          )
          $Services = Get-Service -Name 'Sophos*'
      
          ForEach ($Service in $Services) {
      
              If (($Service.Name -like 'Sophos*') -and ($Service.Status -eq 'running')) {
      
                  Restart-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose -Force
      
              }
               Else
               {
      
                  Start-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose
              }
          }
      
      } ; Repair-SophosUpdate -Verbose
      

      When I run this I get

      PS C:\Users\aolynyk\Desktop> C:\Users\aolynyk\Desktop\Repair-SophosUpdate.ps1
      cmdlet Repair-SophosUpdate at command pipeline position 1
      Supply values for the following parameters:

      Restart-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController'.

      I can restart the services as an admin but when I run the script as an admin I get the same error
