I totally agree. Always, always, reboot first, then try to fix it on your own. If you can't then call me.<a class="user" href="http://www.it-ideas.com">http://www.it-ideas.com</a>

At our company, the IT guys are, with a few notable exceptions who generally don't last long, gutless lemmings who are never held responsible for their view that all users are idiots..new software is Satan, pushing MS as the gospel, and security measures should be as big an obstacle for doing work as it is inversely for making us secure. No digg.

System Admins are such a sad group of people. Always cowering behind vendors when problems arise, never making use of open source because they might have to ask a forum instead of calling a helpline. Every admin I have met has had his creativity slowly sucked away after 2 years of the job, leaving them dark, lowly creatures of a cold server room.

i agree with you because system administration has lots of other things to do. Best solution for this is to hire some reputed company to remotely handle your system administration tasks because they are expert in managing multiple systems and It will also reduce the cost.
you can check DBAdirect which is one of them

Ask a forum. That's a good one. I want my job security based on what some anonymous screen name tells me what to do. I think that is sad. Oh, please uberbuddy fix my problem for me. I'll wait patiently for a couple of days until you can find time to answer my question. Forums are great when your running crap in a test lab, but if you put that puppy live, you better know what the hell you are doing.
