When I was an L3 I didn't mind this if an L1 did it, I would usually just chat with them asking them questions like: What makes you think this is the correct team. If you had the skill set what are you looking for? What research have you done on the subject. Honestly, I think most L1s are way too scared to ask questions. Yes you will get those assholes who will just chuck it and not think of it. But again you can waste all their time

Which has higher market value: a developer who knows infrastructure, or an infrastructure engineer who knows IaC?

Posted by Ok-Hand-1008@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 28 comments

TU4AR@reddit

>Knowing IaC is functionally a baseline for a sysadmin in an enterprise above “n” size now Someone told me 10 years ago to learn Docker / Jenkins and Ansible, I didn't listen. I should have listened. That's where the market is now. I am fortunate enough to have enough experience to get me to interviews and leads , but they would have been great help. If you are new or thinking about learning these things, this is your message from saying it's time to learn or get left behind.

You know my job my guy? You know the responsibilities? It's kinda crazy that someone would develop a tool to handle one offs. That someone would create this or handler just because it isn't a big issue. Let me go send the sys-internals team a quick teams message and say they don't know basic troubleshooting so to stop wasting their time developing tools.

Sysadmin salary whinge

Posted by Flippinballs@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 189 comments

TU4AR@reddit

Start looking. Your team is doing something called "average salary per job title in same field" This doesn't mean "average salary for sysadmin in banking" it means "average salary for sysadmin for a bank that focuses in biofuels" that is how they are deciding your wage. You need to find something else cus they won't match you. And if you leave and they want to match you DO NOT TAKE IT. Take care of your self my guy.

My guy, you would be surprised how many people wouldn't check for things they already think are preconfigured. If you ran a "when was your last DR dry run" survey I'm sure it would be a single digit percentage of it happening within the last year.

Delete the backup copies and the Job. Create a new job for a single folder make it run as normal. The job sends a job completed report, no one checks their emails for size and files they only delete by header. Boom, suddenly it's been six months with no hard copies. Gl.

If anyone is dealing with a 10 figure company, you got enough resources to get an entire team to make it their problem. But OP doesn't mention anything about their business or set up , stating out right that "everywhere to do exactly that, and it ALWAYS leads to trouble." Might put them off automatically instead of looking at it and seeing if it's the correct solution for his needs.

It really does depend on how you handle the entire situation. Does your company only solely focus on web based experience? If so the SharePoint experience is alright for you. Smaller companies, less than 300 hundred employees shouldn't run into an issue with SP as a file host. Most if not all permissions should be set as a group level , but confidental material should be separated dependent on need to know basis (example a majority of HR stuff is located on HR SP but even things that SVPs aren't privy to are kept in a different SP. This is all assuming you are doing less than 5TB of data, and again a majority of your business is done on the Web.

I took a job like this in early 18. Honestly it was one of the best experiences of my life, yeah I wouldn't do it now but I would do it if I was in the same place. The amount of experience you get , on how to handle people, the business side of IT and how to get things passed even when people are pressed against it. It's crazy, and I wish OP well in this future. Either you gonna learn you want to be in management or you learn to just stick to the 9-5.

Some are if you never read documentation on it. Most people just add "block x domain" but try adding a single word block subject like "hello" , it gives you options of choosing "phrases like" or "contains" but not "exact".

It's because like 90% of the people here aren't decision makers. They are used to pawning it off to another team but never want to take responsibility for it.

I did some volunteer work at GeekSquad about 10 years back. The nicest fucking people on earth walked in, everyone just straight up said their issue and tried to tell you what they were doing. Even better the machine was always off when they came. fucking corpo people are unaccountable for shit in their own lives
