But Scott had examples where some Wall St firm was doing wacky (but acceptable) stuff and showed that the OS had bad code.. but they refused to fix it because the Wall St company was using LTS, not the latest version. So there was no 3rd party problem here, there was an OS problem in that case.

How many times does the opposite exist? Where LTS is the only thing supported?

From a Linux POV - I have no clue.

I used to set up WPS for clients who were used to the ribbon interface because LibreOffice didn't have one. I haven't used it for a long time but it seemed to work fine.

@flaxking I love writing Powershell scripts, but I can't see myself full time developing, despite my wanting to learn C# or Jquery.
Hmm, I think I'll try and continue down the Azure Devops path, get that cert and go from there.

Then where are you getting in trouble? If purchasing is making all the buying - and IT is just deploying what purchasing is supplying, you should never have a license mismatch, and KMS would be fine.

I use PRTG for all network monitoring/logging and they have tons of customization options for dashboard views.

I like PRTG also, it offers 100 sensors for free.

Easy to setup and with a very good mobile app.

@Dashrender What's weird though is I've gotten them to work here and there despite using msiexec. BUT then I changed some things around (added spaces....spaces make life hell but I wanted to see if I had to use " " around the path or not...utter failure, upon changing things back....I broke the installs)

But yeah, I'm happy 🙂
Now I just need to add what I've figured out to the other programs, which a few auto-activate lol, testing will have to be live.
Ugh then I have to make more deployments for our Autodesk products, which actually isn't that bad..
