RE: Random Q Network Admin vs Systems Engineer

Agreed and same here. I will say that if you get the engineer title, money seems to be better... Andy -Original Message- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 12:33 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Random Q Network Admin vs Systems Engineer

Re: Random Q Network Admin vs Systems Engineer

IMHO, the differences have never been clear. My job titles have, since 1997, been mixed and matched between [system|network] and [administrator|engineer], with not a dime's worth of difference between the positions. On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 8:27 AM, David Lum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > A

Re: Updates that may/may not affect you

As a general rule, run everything... if the affected components aren't present, the update won't run. If it runs, it found the affected components were found and updated. That way, if you start using them later you're protected. Most patching software, from any vendor, starts by identifying whic

RE: Random Q Network Admin vs Systems Engineer

IMHO, job titles are extremely subjective. My last position, for instance, I was responsible for all servers, all infrastructure equipment (switches, routers, ISP connection, etc.), and all desktops, and yet my title was Technology Specialist. Which, by the way, was the same title that our databa

Updates that may/may not affect you

How do you guys handle Microsoft updates that don't seem to affect you? For instance, the WebDAV patch recently. I was looking at the KB and security bulletin, didn't know what WebDAV was, so Googled it, looked at the wikipedia entry, went to ask our web developer about it, and he didn't know what

Re: N-able and XPe again

Oliver - I've researched this with printer drivers before - basically, your best bet would be to remaster the XPe image, which you should be able to do with the HP management tools. Short of that, you can disable the write filter long enough to make changes manually, but I don't know how many thi

N-able and XPe again

Hi chaps, I know I posted this a few days back, but I thought I'd post again just incase someone has signed up in the last few days with n-able and thin client know-how. Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to get the agent package and the remote support package running on a thin client
