It is one of the most basic server management tasks.

Except these were endpoint machines, not servers. Things grinded to a halt not because servers went down, but because the computers end users interacted with crashed and wouldn’t boot, kiosk and POS systems included.

You acting like the concept is challenging seriously concerns me and I seriously wonder how anyone that thinks like that gets hired.

Damn, I guess all the IT people running the systems that were affected aren’t fit for the job.

unless you want to show me a budget that isn’t. Do you have a real one that you can provide?

Can YOU show me the bloated budgets and where they are allocated on those mid to large size corporations? You are the one who insinuated that. All I said is that my experience for all the companies I worked with is that we always had to fight hard for budget, because the sales and marketing departments bring in the $$$ and that’s only what the executives like to see, therefore they get the budget. If your entire working experience is that your IT team had too much budget, then consider yourself privileged.

It’s weird how you’re all defensive and devolve to insults when people are just responding to your post.
