So random these people requesting account deletions. Why the heck would anyone ever want an account deleted that is free? And who comes back two years after leaving a place to do so? So weird.

I understand why you don't get it - you don't consider the desire to not be known in the world.

writing up recommendations for the Windows 7 end of life. what do you do with PCs that have never given you a second of trouble, are 3-4 years old, but run Windows 7?

I make more money by recommending new PCs and the industry says replace at 3-5 years...

I am the worlds worst salesman.

Interesting. I guess I would ask myself - Am I a consultant - i.e. THE IT department for the company - or am I a VAR?

If your primary relationship with the company is to be their IT department - then you propose the most financially sensible solution from the company's POV. If you are a VAR, then you could go completely the other way - though, if you value them as a customer, you might be a bit more moderate and find a medium place.

As the IT department - I would keep the current PCs - even look at replacing all drives with SSDs (so cheap these days) and RAM (if needed). It's likely you could get another 3-4 years out of those machines.

Very basic question(s) if it needs a deeper dive into it i'll start a new discussion.

I what to monitor the traffic on our network. What's talking to what and bandwidth used etc.
Our MPLS has this

So from here i can see PC1 is talking to Windows Update servers
(ok not a lot of bandwidth on this site but i do see some site using 20-30Mbs just to MS Updates) anyway.....

The question is can this be done on the LAN level, so i can see what traffic is flowing from PC to Server and WAN etc.
I think it's NetFlow/sFlow but do i need specific "Switches/Routers" to do that? Or should all switched give off this info? Can it be done with just Zabbix and SNMP data?
(I know zabbix points you to H5Audits, but this is a more general question)

The better question is why are 3-4 year old computers running Windows 7?

First band concert. Mine is in the right with the trumpet.

MORE AIR!!

Forgive me. Slipped back into middle school band director mode for a moment.

Hope she enjoyed her concert

She wants to try out for the district jazz band she says. But that is not for 2 more years. The district jazz band try outs is the end of the 7th grade year. So basically only 8th graders.

My guess is that the great and powerful site-that-shall-not-be-named is urging its members to stay away from here.

Florida Man thought he stole opioids, got laxatives instead.
