SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY
_____________________

Sometimes, they just don't listen...

I have a manager that requested network accounts for two of his sales guys. Not
really a problem, except these two guys are really old-school, and they have had
network accounts set up for them multiple times in the past. Every time, they
stop logging in to their computers, and 90 days later, their accounts are
deleted due to inactivity ...

Virtual Servers, Real Savings

With server virtualization, you do more with less. Instead of filling your data
center with underutilized boxes, you run multiple operating systems and
applications on a single physical machine. As a result, virtualization has
quickly moved from a niche technology to an essential component of the modern
data center.
