10% of all SW posts are something like "how would you deal with this situation" and it is always someone asking something that sounds semi-reasonable until you dig into it and realize that every answer is the same: "find the person in charge, let them know of the issue, do your job as directed." Essentially every SMB IT "how do I deal with this" question I see comes down to the same issue of an IT employee not liking a situation or event, trying to take ownership of something they are not responsible for and trying to figure out how to deal with it when, the real issue is, they are overstepping their bounds and are not letting the chain of command make decisions.
This is just basic employment. What is it about SMB IT that makes people feel like the chain of command is no longer applicable?
I can't upvote this post enough. SO TRUE. I'm surprised you say only 10%, to be honest.

They stated that the current stat is good enough - (I have to toss in an assumption here) because they believe that they have HA.
In which case, believing that they have HA is good enough for them. The point is, there are two choices... what they have now, or something better that costs less. That one is HA and one is not, that someone believes in something or someone does not, aren't factors.

Looking at 49" - 50" LED TV to mount on the wall for displaying stuff like Zabbix/connection status/any thing else I can think of
I've wanted to do this since I started with NTG.... Still working on it.

@DustinB3403 I'm sorry, are you expecting me to be rational when I'm pissed off?
Just slightly.... I get pissed off all the time, but at directed items. IE XenServer boot device not XenServer installation...
I stay pissed off.... It works for Dr. David Banner...

I'm about to throw my effing laptop across the room if wordpress doesn't let me start customizing my damn website template. Argh!
Isn't this a Wordpress issue, and not a laptop one?
Yeah, but she cant physically throw wordpress. The laptop is the closest accomplice.
She could print the source, put everything on a pile and burn it down. Probably the best idea anyway regarding WP.
On my way to find the damn matches. That might make me feel better.
@art_of_shred chuckles every time I mention Thermite.....

RIP John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep), one of rock's greatest bassists.

I'm using the CodeTwo tool to import user pictures to AD. So far, it's killed my laptop once and complained about memory 3 times.

They have the worst developers. $5 says that some of them were fired from Ubisoft.

@Grey Where is your Exchange server? On-Prem? O365? Hosted?
On-Prem - There is a PS script for that but its a pain to use.
O365 or Outlook 2016 - The user can upload their own profile pic, or you can do it for them through the Admin Portal.
Hosted - I have no idea, but would assume that PS script would still apply. -
