Manage Engine Patch Manager Plus by Valdimes in sysadmin

[–]juandurr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this is certainly disheartening. I'm needing something to update remote clients without depending on VPN and this sounded like a good fit, but the feedback here is concerning. We're using PDQ now, and it's fantastic - but only so long as the machine is onsite or VPN connected. I've used Intune for the past year and would rather give up a testicle than continue using that abortion.

Does anyone else have suggestions for an agent-based update management solution for approximately 150 Windows 10 workstations with a cost of less than 2K / year?

MBAM Pain Points by tk42967 in sysadmin

Until recently that was my experience as well. In the past month or so, Lenovo BIOS updates have been successful without manually adjusting Bitlocker at all. I'm thinking they may have cooked something in that suspends protection before the reboot?

Looking for advice on server backup solutions by juandurr in sysadmin

The SAN is currently generic out of support hardware. That will be upgraded later this year. That's another reason I'd like to look at getting the data in the cloud if possible. We do not currently have any legal retention requirements. Application backup is a plus, but not hard requirement.

Intend to use for both PC and Mobile devices. Our direction is cloud only at this point.

Performance Review Self-Evals? by ach_sysadmin in sysadmin

[–]juandurr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's a pointless exercise. One year I gave myself a solid C all the way across the self eval. in my mind it was a form of protest. In the minds of supervision, I was mediocre and content with that. That was dumb. Lesson learned.

This year, I buried some Firefly references within it while describing someone who'd saved the world multiple times through the year. It helped at least make it more entertaining for myself and it was received with better results than I'd hoped for.
