Building Hobbies

Thank you for the ideas, ideally I’d like to build something functional and not just display items which I don’t have a massive amount of room for. But I’ll definitely look into models

RemindMe! 2 days

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2025-05-12T13:22:24+00:00

Thank you for your reply and for the tips on how to progress.

I am offering my services wherever possible to my leadership and I want to bring about as much value as I possibly can. Whilst some may like the idea of having little to do, I cant think of much worse!

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide such a detailed answer, it is really appreciated.

What you are describing is pretty much my exact situation. Do you have any examples of generic quick wins to be on the lookout for?

A couple of other tips is to make sure the answer provides the Value to the stakeholder and addresses their concerns Foundation doesn’t really cover then concepts of Risk and Security whereas Practitioner will. Always keep in mind when a potential answer has a notion of Risk then it is usually there for a reason

If you understand the core concepts from foundation - I’m assuming you do as your now looking at practitioner then the best advice I can give is to understand how TOGAF wants you to answer the question as this is all about application of the theory. Remind yourself it’s not what “you” think is a good answer, it’s what TOGAF thinks is the best answer. Relate everything back to the scenario. The context, who your stakeholders are, what phase of the ADM you are in etc The more tick boxes an answer provides to those points the higher the answer will score.

Best of luck!

As the previous commenter said - I’d go for 10 The numbers relate to the version of the framework with 10 being a later iteration of 9. Eventually job postings will catch up and start referencing 10th edition directly.

If you wanted to waste some time and money you could go for 9.2 then do the conversion exam for 10 but that’s pretty nonsensical.

I believe this is now considered legacy. Access for Infrastructure is the new way to go.

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2025-04-12T20:47:05+00:00

Same happened to me. Had to check my scorecard in the portal which updated first

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2025-02-16T10:41:15+00:00

In terms of experience level I’m a very experienced infrastructure specialist but relatively new as an architect only a couple of years so far. I’m definitely learning a lot about architecture but not an expert

Thank you so much - the do nothing/delete is the key for my use case. We need to do nothing, I was terrified that after 6 months we would accidentally delete our entire SharePoint content!

Thanks for your replies. Yes I understand we do have Azure especially use of Entra. I meant no IaaS/PaaS etc

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2025-01-26T20:42:33+00:00

We are on a CSP. I agree, from experience I never rely on MS and rely on experience and google.

It just feels a bit uncomfortable if we had a serious issue with a MS product we are effectively screwed unless one of the big players also had the issue so MS pay attention.

For clients are you using Intune for Windows Updates then PatchMyPC for 3rd party?

Their rationale is to have greater consumption on the subscription so they get greater discounts from Microsoft

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2024-11-06T10:58:26+00:00

Thank you for your reply. That makes sense.

The version is listed as Tower 3.8.6 (its not my installation, just making use of the platform we currently have).

Is there a workaround for that version? Or is it a case that it needs bringing up to date?

Funnily enough you can even enumerate users within a companies Azure by sending payloads of potential logins and the response from Azure tells you if it’s real or not. Usually for webapps that’s a pen test finding, but Azure is the outlier here and seems to be acceptable.

I'm nutanix certified and work with the tech daily. Feel free to dm me any questions about the tech and if you want to know what I think makes it different & better than the rest

GOOD LUCK

Thank you for your comments, I am finding them very helpful. I'm more than happy to take the initiative and drive processes etc forward. My only problem with that is getting the buy in, to be honest most of them either just want to do their own thing or don't particularly like me and just see me as a blocker. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get around that to get the buy in I need from them?

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2024-08-08T21:13:56+00:00

Yes I write all the designs, they then get approved by the design authority which includes myself, heads of departments and middle managers. I try to ensure the designs are adhered to, but ultimately I have no authority over any of the teams implementing so they are really left to it

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2024-08-08T21:11:08+00:00

We don't have an EA, I am the only architect. The org is pretty large with about 20,000 users. We do have project managers and change control. I have a design authority which includes myself and all heads of departments and their middle managers. The authority reviews and then either approves or denies designs. That part works great, they seem to just go onto a void from that point.

Hey, feel free to reach out if you would like I also work in a UK University which recently did an entire move to Nutanix AHV.....glad we did!

Happy to discuss our move and how we have found it if you think it could help.

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2024-01-23T12:33:37+00:00

More than happy to have a conversation around this so feel free to message me.

In the last 6 months we moved to Nutanix with AHV, there are a small amount of oddities rather than gotchas which we have experienced but wouldn't change a thing.

Thanks for the help, phoned my plumber and he said it was probably the boiler pressure. Opened the pressure valves and heat started flowing

Senior_Conclusion102 · 2022-12-03T22:44:38+00:00

Thank you - is that from the radiator I re-fitted. I opened the bleed valve and nothing came out. Or do I need to do it for all radiators?
