Foolish me. That guy screwed up like crazy, too. It's pretty clear from his wording that he doesn't know what threads and cores are, doesn't know how Hyper-V works, asked a salesman for advice and got taken to the cleaners, asked about licensing AFTER he bought it rather than before, has no idea what to DO with his licenses...it's a mess. This would have been a really simple discussion to have before buying. Who spends all that money and THEN asks the IT people "what did I buy this for?"
-
You know that he really feels like a moron when he mutes me instantly and never responds once. I bet he tries to delete the whole thread. He looks like an idiot.
-
@scottalanmiller Eh, I don't think muting you was called for but I can understand the confusion. A lot of small business owners attempt to take over an IT role and quickly learn they don't have the necessary knowledge to do so. You kind of tore off the bandaid for him and I don't think he could handle it

I'm not even touching that one.... He licensed 32 cores when he thought he had 48 cores, wha?

I've been told by more then one SMB owner/manager that they can do IT better then their IT staff, if they just had the time to dedicate to it.

Yeah. These are the same people that ask you what the bare minimum is and then agree to pay for half of it. Apparently we define what the bare minimum is differently

If he's a businessman and can't handle being told he handled the situation wrong, he's worse off than if he was an IT pro in the same situation.

But for what? Because Scott told the guy he spent 2-4x on licensing that he didn't need to? Because the guy who posted was not informed about licensing and so probably just spent thousands of extra dollars, unnecessarily? Excuse the political reference, but SW seems to respond to a lot of things the same way Drumpf does. Ignore it, bury it, or just block out someone who will question them. But yeah, the guy seems like he screwed up bad.

One would hope that they could, given the bad averages of IT work out there. Look at the average poster some places, they are literally just "buying IT" and buying it badly. If their managers couldn't do it better, that would be pretty sad.

I get muted several times every day. It's crazy. Today both times were insane.

That's part of the reason I stopped posting three years ago this month. But meh, not going down that rabbit hole.

I am just curious to know who requested it? I doubt it was Chris from MS. It was probably the OP complaining to CM that people were making him look bad. Well, he f***ing deserves to!

You just hit the mute button, there is no request.

He changed his story to needing twice as much licensing. He needed only two VMs in the original post. Now he needs three. So suddenly the doubled licenses are correct. Is that correct or is he just covering? We'll never know. But it's plausible.

Shows you how much I keep up with SW and their going-ons. I used to measure posts daily in the hundreds. Now, hundreds is my annual accrual. Fun fun.
