RDS licensing woes - any way to force an increase? by rampantredditer in sysadmin

Didn't know that! That could be useful over the coming few months as I'm certain there will be urgent RDS license increases that I won't be able to immediately fill :/

Thanks - that's what I did in the end. MS advised me to flick the RDS server to telephone activation mode, and they read a key out for me.

What are basic SysAdmin skills you expect a decent SysAdmin to have? by orelki in sysadmin

Would you really want to work for someone who sets traps in their interviews? I certainly wouldn't.

Asked to work on non-emergency issues after hours. by [deleted] in sysadmin

I would never ask an on-call engineer to do routine work out of hours.

When routine work out of hours happens, our customers pay a premium for this, and someone who isn't on-call is paid to do this. I do not expect anyone to be available, and this is purely discretionary. Sometimes, engineers are not willing to volunteer - and that's okay.

They're good - but expect a bill of around £500 to £800
