Still working on that Jira install. Grrrrr

What drives me crazy isn't how little people know about IT basics (doesn't know that he needs to specify his OS, doesn't know that he needs to specify a version, doesn't know that teaming is not a single thing, doesn't know how to team on his OS, thinks that virtualization is silly and not needed, thinks teaming is done on the hardware and on and on...) but then goes to a community that he's clearly never read and asks for basic "I dont' know what I'm doing at all" level advice and then totally disregards advice when given. I think we call this an ask-hole.

Bah! You beat me to commenting about the inbound and outbound NICS :P. Reading something like that is what's needed on a day when you think you know nothing.

@scottalanmiller I shouldn't gloat though. All of our servers have Server 2012 R2 installed on the bare metal.

LOL, yeah. I mean everyone has their gaps, but how you react to advice and stuff matters. But seriously, it drives me crazy when people pop in to ask a question and are clearly way in over their heads, but still act all self righteous and don't listed to advice. And it isn't like this is just my advice, he's clearly never read a single thread on the subject. How lazy does he have to be to be doing this as a job and have researched so little and then react that way to people trying to help?

His post does strike me as "please do my homework k thx." I'd be happier to see "I've read X, Y, and Z, and I still don't get it. Please help deliver me from cluelessness."

I'm so impressed, I don't even know how to install to baremetal /S

He never claimed that he like physical, you assume that. I get why he wants the security camera on a spare hardware so it doesnt tax the the others software on the older machine.
He never said he hate virtualization. You assume that since he didnt mention it and talks about moving it off another system. -

It's easy. Place server box on metal shelf. Done!

12 years in IT, eh? I kinda think that is long enough to have learned the difference between incoming and outgoing NICs...
...Further proof that most of the credentials claimed by SW members are total BS.

@RojoLoco ! I just now viewed his profile.

Yes, exactly. There are good ways to approach this like "I'm so confused. This is what I came up with, how far off am I?"

He never said he hate virtualization. You assume that since he didnt mention it and talks about moving it off another system.No, I assumed that because he explicitly gave "don't want to tax other systems" as a reason to be on bare metal - which makes no sense at all. He responded to me asking why it wasn't virtual with that, which is gibberish because those reasons don't suggest bare metal at all.

I don't think he really has any concept of modern IT. Probably mostly just the old stuff they teach you in class that's not really relevant anymore.

So Jira just got classified as a total fail. Moving on to Asana.

That would explain the virtualization. But he should have known how to ask questions, how to look things up, how to listen to advice (he improved in later posts, at least) and the Ethernet bit he should have already known.

My head hurts now.
