      I definitely recommend certs, just getting them strategically and making sure to get lots of value out of them as an educational process and not relying on them purely as a career growth item.

      Agreed, the problem I think comes from a lot of people think the absolute inverse of that and see more value in college or certs than experience.

      I never do anything formal. In the setup process a lot of things get stressed anyway. Normally I am using the server quite a bit before turning it over to users so I do not tend to worry about further testing.

      Especially if you are dealing with a virtualized platform, it's been doing a lot of things before this point.

      Sure, lots of ways of handling this. A script is one option, of course, and not that hard. You could make it ping once a minute and if the ping fails, send an email. That's not hard, especially in BASH.

      Commonly this is handled by systems like Zabbix, Zenoss, Nagios or Spiceworks. They all have that functionality. If you lack that internally it might be well worth looking at implementing something more broadly since you are already addressing the need for this one specific thing.

      I will say if you put the NEC in place in the last couple of years (which I thought I saw that you did), it may be possible to sell it on eBay or to some kind of firm that buys old PBXs to make up a little bit of money toward new handsets / something else. When we got rid of our Avaya IP Office 406 system in 2013 and moved to Elastix, a company bought all the hardware from us for around $1500 - $2000 if memory serves (including about 70 Avaya 5410 desk phones as well).

      Compare the cost of the system to the money saved over a period of 2-3 years switching to a SIP provider and using some type of open source PBX. You may make that money up pretty quickly.

      Run a clean up

      Be prepared for this to take hours and more likely fail.

      Really? I haven't had it fail except for the first time I ran it. And frankly I think it failed because I was impatient.

      I think the first time I ran it, which was something like 5 years into it running, it would have taken 2-3 days to complete.

      Now I run it monthly - still takes around 20 mins on average, but it never fails.

      I have a server at one client that had cleanup ran monthly. then 2 months were missed. then cleanup never successfully ran again. I ended up having to install SQL Management Studio and then running some specific stored procedures on the native database to clean it up. Running those still took 2 days. The system now functions normally again.

      I used to give them girl's names but now I just name them after their role, plus a number.
      So
      SQL01, SQL02, EXCH01, ESXCH02, DC01, DC02, FILESERV01, SHAREPT01 etc etc

      In the age of virualisation and rapid deployment of new servers, this seems to be only practical approach in my opinion.

      Yeah, I agree. When you had physical servers that lasted a decade and only a few of them saying "Betty is down", or "The Enterprise has been infected with malware" or "Vienna is running slow today" was effective because we treated each one like a person and everyone dealt with just a few of them. It made sense in smaller environments. I still remember the roles of our two biggest Windows NT 4 boxes from the 1990s. They each made it ten years and were named Vienna and Salzburg. I can still tell you the memory configs on them, what apps they ran, their RAID configs, their processors, and their full histories. There were our babies, so naming them as such made sense.

      But now that we create and destroy VMs every day and have tons and tons more of them that would just not work like it used to. It used to take months or years to decommission a physical box. Now we turn off a VM in seconds.

      it's a gigabit switch.

      So you say you have a Gb switch. Those speeds are pretty terrible for a Gb switch transfer, unless the workstation is only connecting to the switch at 100 Mb.

      So now I suggest that you check that all connections are listing themselves as 1 Gb connections and correcting any that are not.

      All connections are Gb. All cables are CAT6.

      For our environment it cost roughly 45K to migrate all data out of our third party Exchange server. This include 5 years worth of compliance achived data.

      Why so expensive? Do you need to migrate the archive data? Can you leave it where it is until it expires?

      I'm not very adept at SMS use, but what about using email to SMS gateways so that on your side, it remains email and can be tracked via standard email tools?

      That actually is what I am trying to do but a phone number can belong to any carrier. I want to know if there is a way to determine or a service that can provide SMSgateway per phone number.

      You have to have your client specify their carrier if they want SMS. Make it THEIR problem if they want the feature. I know of no system that offers this without making the person that is signing up specify their carrier.

      I've deployed Win10 to two user so far for testing. Everything has worked well so far. I plan to do the major upgrade this spring.
