      @Dashrender said in SAMIT: Do You Really Need Active Directory: I am surprised that MS didn't come out with a better solution for this ages ago. That whole Direct Connect or whatever it was called - phone home VPN solution they have for Enterprise edition only - what a kluge. They are working on phasing this out. DirectAccess was a kludge that is being replaced by Always-On-VPN. Which works on versions of Windows Professional and Up and requires very little outside of a certificate and Group Policies (or Intune).

      I watched, its great advice. It is something I have always instinctively known but have never really been able to articulate. When SHTF, all the fancy trinkets and add-ons go bye-bye. Thanks Scott!!

      @Dashrender said in Disconnected: Why Companies Encourage Bad IT Decisions: @scottalanmiller said in Disconnected: Why Companies Encourage Bad IT Decisions: @Dashrender said in Disconnected: Why Companies Encourage Bad IT Decisions: @scottalanmiller said in Disconnected: Why Companies Encourage Bad IT Decisions: @Dashrender said in Disconnected: Why Companies Encourage Bad IT Decisions: The one place the presentation doesn't really hit on is reliability of the circuit. Of course to wit Scott will say - US carriers of old school telecom are horrible, and most ISPs are equally as reliable, if not more so than carriers. And unlike carriers, you can likely more easily setup redundancies with the ISP, when was the last time typical businesses setup redundancy on their phone service? Not really a place where the CEO should care. In a healthy organization, Jared's presentation would be from the telecom person or team to the CIO. The CIO would just inform the CEO of what they are doing, if he even needed to know. A CEO should not be stuck in the weeds of demanding to understand why modern infrastructure is more reliable than legacy infrastructure. Right, but in that case the case is made to the CIO, not the CEO, because what you stated. So the CIO would need to know these things, I would think. Correct, the information is good, but is for "inside IT", not for "the business". So question - where do you see that CIO person fitting? You've already said they were IT, but are they more an executive - or more IT? or do you not see a difference in this case? To me, there is no difference. Anyone making IT decisions has to be a business person to do that job. The CIO has to be completely in sync with everything in the business and be thinking completely within the holistic business context. But they must also be a generalist with a deep understanding of nearly every aspect of IT. This is why a CIO role is rare and expensive... you need someone who would be reasonably expensive in their business role OR their IT role, then the overhead of putting those two roles together in a single human. And this is why so many CIOs are terrible, they often only have tech skills or business and are unable to bridge the gap which is their role.

      @scottalanmiller said in Why Visual Basic Is the Worst Programming Language for Your Project SAMIT Video: @Pete-S said in Why Visual Basic Is the Worst Programming Language for Your Project SAMIT Video: Anyway, you couldn't really do any serious applications with gwbasic. It was followed by qbasic a little later. I was in time to get to do both. Still have the original GWBASIC manuals! I just did a little with both. But this was around the same time that Borland released Turbo Pascal and at least in my view it became the serious language to make PC applications with in that era. It was almost instant compilation and it had a very good IDE.

Yeah, amazing the lengths that companies will go through. The fake office in a verified business with the intent of approaching them... I am lost for words on how messed up that is to lure people in as part of the key deliverables & company resume. Shows how much the clients will potentially pay if the recruiters "own" all viable candidates!

      @pmoncho said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: @dustinb3403 said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: @pmoncho said in Past Bad Decisions Do Not Justify Bad Decisions Today SAMIT Video: Unfortunately, sometimes the best answer/decision today becomes a bad decision tomorrow. Then it clearly wasn't the best decision at the time. If you are evaluating a system today, and it does everything you could ever need and then some. It cost a nominal amount of money to implement compared to the competition and you go with that solution. That isn't a bad decision. In 3 years there could be a way better system that exist and costs even less and offers more. But you needed a system 3 years ago not 3 years in the future. You picked the best solution for the organization that was available at the time. "At the time" is the key phrase. A boss could say, "Why didn't you look to the future and only see the present? You wasted my money because you didn't look out far enough" That then makes it a bad decision even though it could have been the best smart logical decision ever. I'm not saying its right, just that the boss could say it. I am in agreement that we do our best to make the best decision based on info we have at the time. That still opens the door to a previously best decision becoming a bad decision. That's just the boss making a different bad decision now

      @flaxking said in Always Study for the Future SAMIT Video: When I was deciding when if I was going to do Server 2012 or 2016 certifications, I went with 2012, and I'm glad I did because it was still a year from that point that the Server 2016 exams came out, and I was already certified. Maybe I should have worded it "study for the farthest future that there is a test for"
