@scottalanmiller I wish, I keep on recommending multiple times for new IT staff or coverage by MSPs that I know and I get turned down...is frustrating
Your job is done. You told them to get coverage. COmpanies are available for coverage. But they are not doing their jobs properly because you are willing to give up your vacation to protect them from their mistakes. That's not good for you, not healthy for the profession. Truly... shut off the phone.

It's also not good for the company... this is the bus meet human argument. If they can't live without you while you're on vacation then they will collapse (or spend a lot more money then necessary) when you are dead.

@coliver correct, which is why I stopped...

Yup, which is why based on @stess current assessment, we probably know that this wasn't a legit decision before, or there would be no issue implementing it now.

Back to documentation.

Sitting on the floor of the ballroom.

I'm a little off today, in my mind I'm seeing you in a ballgown instead of a ballroom

Listening in on @scale's 'Bringing down the cost of IT' webex.

That could probably be arranged, if not, at least photoshoped.

Short day for me today, counting down to quittin' time.

We'd need a photo from @scottalanmiller to start off with first.

I say we go to the thrift store and find him a ballgown. Bring it to MC 2017 (or ship it to the hotel).

That happens a lot over here.

You need to plan for that? I must be super spoiled, takes me like 10 minutes with no interruptions.
-
@travisdh1 can I do that with the server live and people RDP'd into it?
Plan consists of stop people logging in. Shut it down. Expand. Re-enable access.
Just can't be bothered to implement the plan lol
-
You can expand the drive at the hypervisor, but it won't take effect until the next reboot and expansion within the OS.

Are we talking Windows Server here? If so, then don't try it without planned downtime. My CentOS/Fedora/Ubuntu instances can all do that live (LVM is amazing.)
