well i went to the tuner bash this weekend and came back to my job as a "network administrator/general computer guy", monday and the ---- had hit the fan. our server ate ---- which all our other computers depend on just becasue the previous "network administrator/general computer guy" didnt remove a worm that we got right before i started. so i got to work a 12 hour day and half our computers are still fucked up. i hate microsucks and computers.

haha been there done that, atleast all the computer are on one site..

biggmike

the funny thing is that all our computers arnt on-site we have about 15 computers offsite in sets of 5 at various places in the united states. i just havent gotten any calls from the other sites, "yet" because we havent messed with even checking them "yet" so we'll see tomarrow how much more ---- we are going to have problems with. on a side note i cant wiat for SP2 for XP

biggmike

onyx or anyone else u work with microsoft server 2003 yet? wonder if more secure and worth the money to get out of 2000 server/

kain

i have 2003 server..

its not necessary. norton for servers is the way to go.

put it onto the server, and all the clients get scanned for viruses.

also, i would recommend getting vnc.
its a remote desktop tool, thats java compatible and you can acces a destop with almost any computer with an internet connection. no downloading software. just a java applet. highly recommended.

yeah we are using mcafee antivirus and epolicy orcastrator to administer it to all the computers on the network they did great it was the server that the worm hit and the virus program showed it was on the computer it just never did anything with it. yeah we use vnc for our servers and off-site computers the others we just kick the user off. has anyone messed with SUS we just started using it

Careful with SP2 for XP....i read on MSDN (i think, can't remember exactly) that some apps will stop working after the patch. this ought to be fun when the my clients in idaho falls, Florida, and california call me up saying their shipment tracking software doesn't work anymore ....

wow... seems like we got a lot of network admins on this site. just out of curiousity, how is the job market in your area? out here(vegas) it sucks. im thinking about moving to another city cuz im sick of all the bullshit here. just wondering how the pay/cost of living/need for admins is in other places. i would just look up the stuff online but i would like to hear it from actual people.

yeah vnc is the pimp ----...but it lags - but then again thats just how remote desktops are. It beats sneakernet, plus its free.

job market in colorado sucks ***, so i just opened my own business doing whatever the ---- needs to be done.
