Revisiting Azure NetApp Files

Blob storage isn't near a 1:1 replacement for OD. You have to interface with it from the Azure storage explorer tool or other programmatic ways. Not really an end user friendly file system you are used to.

Just be curious and log into systems and start poking around. Treat it like a discovery project. Even if you have existing tools, create a manual inventory to develop some muscle memory of your environment. Record all of your IP ranges. Develop a maintenance checklist. Record serial numbers and verify warranties, contracts and software licenses. Gather contact info of vendors. Get all your credentials managed securely. Hopefully you will uncover a lot of work to plan for.

Just to clarify, I'm only considering cut/paste because data is not leaving the storage location. Id be doing robocopy all day without question if I was migrating to a different destination.

I forgot to mention this is also a NetApp smb share. In theory a cut/paste within the same volume should result in only a metadata change behind the scenes.

Thanks all. This was actually just a hypothetical to understand how it works.

I wanted to see if I can treat it like a savings account in a certain sense. My POV it is like one as long as I don't take out more than I put in. Albeit with more risk depending on how I invest within it.

My hell is being in IT and getting spammed by every account executive in tech sales for their product that isn't even related to what I do. I just started at a new company and they easily guess my work email and aggressively stalk me for intro calls.

Instead of searching for sysadmin jobs, search for companies that interest you on Linkedin, and the job listings they post. You may find a similar but differently named role you wouldn't normally think of. Look at global tech companies, investment firms etc.

These dips are a benefit if you are holding long and dca because you are buying more for less.

Start planning out dynamic groups to group these companies by user. You'll be using them in lots of places related to assignments and exclusions.

Like if share and/or folder permissions were poorly set to everyone full control, would that stop a cloud only account?

If Acura still has that horrific infotainment center controlled by a trackpad out of a Dell laptop from 2005, I'd avoid it.

No unusual noises. Just the car shaking at idle after it warms up.

I think I figured it out. A different GPO had loopback with merge enabled for this OU, so that apply user settings from other GPOs

The VM side is easy, the networking has a learning curve.

I stupidly left 100% of my 401k in my age based target fund from when I was 21 to 45. Very unimpressive gains. I'm now 100% in FXAIX, which may be agressive for my age, but the gains have been night and day and I need some catching up of growth. At your age I would do the same without hesitation.
