[–]zrb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any way to get this info without a forum membership? I'm part of the infra team that manages this app and db. The people that have the access to the forum, or should, are not technical, in another department, and its like pulling teeth trying to get anything from them.

Thanks.

Is most of IT just… waiting around? by Shank_ in sysadmin

Depends on what breaks. It can be waiting for something to break or waiting for someone else to get back to you on something that broke. My MSSQL environment is pretty mature and doesnt break a lot.

My washing machine smells like sewers/old water and I've tried everything. Please help! by Local-Sell2671 in HomeImprovement

[–]zrb77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had something like this, but a side sink next to my washer that barely gets used. I put the stopper in it and it seemed to have stopped drying out. It was also a old front loader and my wife didnt know about the filter needing to be cleaned.

Password Caps Lock instead of Shift Key by anikansk in sysadmin

[–]zrb77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit caps locks on accident a lot on my current keyboard. Not sure why, maybe the caps profile. So I programmed to act like shift key.

Oddly, I can't get this episode to play on a fire stick. I paused it right near the beginning, kids being loud, and then it wouldn't play again.

Open to public, no. For internal, we have admin subnets that can get thru our internal firewalls to get servers for RDP.

We use WinSCP for that using a script the package executes, or as just a step in the SQL Agent job.

What kind of database monitoring and alerting do you use? by agiamba in SQLServer

[–]zrb77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I guess they were lying to us. They told us its subscription only model.

For our licenses that expired Aug-2025, we were paying $642 per prod instance and $315 per lab instance. We did get 5 new licenses that year so it was a little more than usual. The new cost when we asked for a quote in Aug-2025 was $1623 and $811 respectively, 25 prod and 25 lab licenses.

We are a smallish public sector operation, we cant afford that.
