All,
Just to add my 0.02 worth.
A good rule of thumb to keep in the back of your mind (actually, it's better off
being at the front) when designing, managing [proactively :-)], or just plain ol
lurchin from crisis to crisis is that the internetwork is there to provide a
business need for the end user. That business need is invariably implemented
across a variety of platforms, hence a hodge podge of protocols all glued
together somehow to provide seemless, transparent (to the user preferably)
connectivity and services.
So, you still awake?, it would be advantageous to get to know one OS well and at
least become familiar with the peculiarities of all the others (particularly if
they're in your domain!).
Cheers,

Subject: Re: Cisco Prerequisites
Erik,
That took about 2 minutes to find on the web and you probably needed
service pack applied ..
Thats what the hell that means and we all know you hate windows and thats
fine .
But please you cannot tell new folks to forget it .. I have worked in
huge enviroments that had lots of NT and windows and many issues would
not have been solved if my knowledge of NT was not there..
As a router dude you can get a lot of issues that can SEEM to be wan
related when in fact it can be simple desktop/server issues..
Sure there are many folks out there that know networking and unix but also
by not knowing NT windows could limit those same folks too .
Just like my limited Unix limits me .too.
And for folks just starting up NT is fine as chances are they will start
at the desktop anyhow ..
And there is not many unix desktops around these days .
And whether you like it or not Cisco is making more stuff for NT all the
time and there are some that are NT windows only ..
I don't care for any particular OS to me they all are the same.. But I
have to care because many places are multi OS environments and you need to
know a little about them all.
And I am not trying to start an OS war here just trying to give some
balance here..
The market has shifted and thats a fact and so will the workforce have to
shift in the direction of the market it's just that simple..
For someone on a limited budget NT can help them out sure they can do
Linux but right now there is not much market for entry level Linux folks.
Whereas win NT desktop there is tons of work..
And for Adedapo MTA errors usually are due to corrupted databases but I
have not played with exchange for a long time. But usally running MTACHECK
will fix it
A fatal MTA database server error was encountered. A bad list member
