Answer: HR doesn't give a gently caress. IT doesn't even see the equipment until after they've left. This was one of our sales guys. How many sales are you gonna make with a loving NRA sticker in Madison, WI?

Who thinks it's acceptable to hand back a laptop without at least cleaning any dumb stickers off it first? I don't even get the fascination with putting them on in the first place. I even peeled all the Intel ones off mine.

Suggestions for a fingerprint reader time clock solution for no more than 15 users, used at two different locations? Just throwing it out there as I go to Google. A school I work with uses Pyramid Time Trax with magstripe cards, so I'm starting my selection process there.

At $oldJob we had a number of clients using https://www.acroprint.com/ time clocks, they worked fine.

Thank you, but I should have specified a network fingerprint unit, and acroPrint’s are USB exfil only. QuickBooks integration would be neat, though CSV is just fine, too. I appreciate your input, though.

If you are the BoFH, you don't need stickers to let people know, people already hide when you come around.

Stickerchat: Personal laptops have stickers. It gives them some personality, and makes them easier to keep track of, in case someone accidentally walks off with it, or "accidentally" walks off with it. Corporate laptop is as plain and boring as I can make it. It's a black rectangle of work and despair. I occasionally think about getting ill all over it, because we could do with a little color about the place.

Well at least I can put your mind at ease there. I was curious so I asked our IT and apparently new scrubs get new gear here every time. The old laptops are used for loaners and demo units. I shall continue to sticker up. And now I will do it guilt free.

Our turnaround rate is so loving terrible that I've seen several laptops put through 4 or 5 users before I put them out to pasture. That said, I've only had one person to ever sticker their system.

Conversely I don't put stickers on my personal computer because what if I wanna ebay it soon

Question for other environment... any used any good 3rd party tools for MS SQL Express in the absence of Server Agent? Simple stuff like daily backups and log deletion. Mostly the latter. I'm cursorily looking at sqlagentexpress.com to begin with. It's a small shop where there are only five seats at all, and only two are in routine use, really. They were told by their LOB app dev that they ought to buy full SQL for the sake of having agent clear up logs. (This, after a 59 minute period yesterday saw a Server 2012 footprint of 31 GB blow up with 216 GB of SQL logs.)

I haven't seen anything other than a mess of scripts run by task scheduler. If you are interested in making your own barely manageable nightmare I would start here: https://ola.hallengren.com/ https://dbatools.io/ We have an install of 2005 express that started as 2000 DE, which did have the agent. So I somehow still have agent jobs running with no way to edit them.

ApexSQL has some serious heavy hitting tools. If is a database, it's the bussness heart and must be properly cared for. https://www.apexsql.com/sql_tools_backup.aspx veeam is great for one click if you're in a VM, but not so much as physical (they're getting there!). incoherent fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Apr 3, 2018 |

Oh look, this thread is awfully relevant all of a sudden.   We are doing a spin-off company, and we get to choose what we want in terms of infrastructure (mostly). We are coming from an Atlassian world (Jira + Confluence + Bitbucket + Hipchat [which I don't like, and which we are not going to use again]). Are there any obvious contenders in that space that would give us much better tooling for ticketing + dvcs + documentation? We are doing BI consulting & software development, fwiw.

What's a good way to back up a Hyper-V host + Sage/SQL VM? Veeam looks great and is pretty cheap but their Cloud Connect channel partner stuff gets really expensive. (I've just discovered that the box in question is being backed up by CrashPlan, which... basically doesn't work  )

Get a separate box to run veeam for vm backups then use a cloud service to offsite your veeam backups. Works like a charm. Though Im not hot on crashplan myself, I have other offsite backup hosts.
