@IRJ I never wanted to eat anything when I was pregnant, but my sister had her "magic food of the day". She would rub her belly, and say "what do we want to eat today?" and when it would come to her, we'd have to find the food, sometimes driving pretty far, lol.
LOL. I ask my gf 10 times what she wants to eat and when she finally figures it out. She says its already 8 PM and I dont have anything to eat. Well you have to tell me what you want first! lol
Whatever my pregnant girlfiriend wants. This changes by the second of course.

He wants MJ....
What does it say that the first thing I thought of was he wanted MJ from Spiderman, and the distant second was the other kind of MJ? I'm pretty sure I'm a super nerd.
It could be either one. She is a very attractive redhead

Is this bet testing their own stuff or on behalf of vendors?
On behalf of vendors
@david.wiese said:
and they are offering larger prizes for those trials as well. I don't like selling my soul to be a beta tester thank you very much
Yeah. I have noticed that they are giving bigger prizes away. That is alot cheaper than using their own people to test.
They are offering even more beta testing and product trials from SP. It seems like they are selling their SPs for marketing purposes?

I'm sure there will be too many issues in 1.0.0 to use it in production. I am interested in seeing if they continue to update it. I cant jump on ship it when its only version 1.0.0.
They had a beta before this release for testing.
I havent used FOG in years. I used to love it, though.

I think you are misusing the numbers. This is a real, tested prod release. Many years of production use. Don't get into the "wait for a patch" mentality. That's not how healthy software works. It took over a year for them to go from .9 to 1.0. This didn't have a pretend beta like you are imagining.
Ah ok. I didnt know the history behind it. I thought it was an initial release after many years of nothing.
He sees you are a young guy and he thinks maybe you have some. So he was being super cryptic. When he realized you didnt he had no need to call you back.

If your business stops supporting a client, does the client normally have any documentation of their network, hardware inventory, etc?
I am not a MSP. I am an IT employee for a company

Yes sir, after the snafoo went down, I don't want to be a recognizable house hold name, so I comment maybe one or twice a week on the other account to prove I'm not dead, but I'm hanging on my alt to remain somewhat anonymous. Oh and do you guys pay to relocate ;-).
I dont know. I think they might if they found the right fit.
well if you guys need anything
We work very closely with a MSP. They are short staffed right now. We have had many tickets opened with them for weeks. Maybe they could use a remote person? One of their guys had a skydiving accident and he works from home a few hours a week as he is able to.

I would be careful with initial admin passwords till you have a handle on how he/she tackles problems. It can be a pain correcting issues when 2-3 things are changed at the same time, and maybe not documented as well as you do it. If you have to go back, knowing where to go sure makes the battle a bit less hectic. Just my experience with teaching new employee's who may bump around in your system even with the well documented information you provide. Do you know his level of experience? For sure? I have had "Paper Techs" with certs, good at study and tests, but not at being inside or on an actual system. So I tend to err on caution, but if he/she is a performer then I have no issue allowing full access.
I thought about the password thing and here is my take on it. If it doesnt work out, I will have to change all the passwords anyway. Why put him through the torture of recording each password on his own?
Either way, if he leaves I would have to reset all the passwords.

In the GPO for the servers, are you telling them to install the updates and wait for a reboot? or are you telling the servers to notify and allow the local user to decide when to install?
I'm guessing the former.
I am choosing "4 - Auto download and schedule the install" which downloads them and schedules the install in the early AM. Sometimes it reboots them automatically and sometimes it doesnt. I am not sure why that happens
Are users still logged in?
Maybe, but not active. No one really works outside of business hours here.
The thing is I issue reboot commands, and the PC reboots but the updates still dont install.
