Hi There
« on: August 07, 2007, 09:51:43 PM »
Newly christened head of IT for my company just saying YIKES lol.

Today my company let go the only IT person they had, and gave it all to me. There's lost of reasons why and I won't go into detail, but suffice to say it was needed.

I got a HECK of a nasty job in front of me cleaning up the total ba$tard of a network we have if you can even call it that. :O

12 servers, not a single backup for oh, what 10 years almost.

3 companies working as separate entities, all under 1 server room located in the electrical closet that started a UPS on fire a few months ago, and remote locations with a mix of dedicated lines, PPTP, and VPN connections all depending on me (and a consultant company helping the transition for a month).

pretty much got it locked down today so certain people can't hop in and wreak havoc.... but thats only the start.


wish me well, and pray, I truly need it :rofl

BWHAHAHAH!!!!!

dude the server room is a total JOKE.

it is the electrical closet, with I forget the "big" power numbers but 420 comming in, converted down, and major heat generated. (we are a trucking company with a warehouse that uses electric fork trucks that need the power for charging)

no ceiling.



one of the UPS's actually caught on fire 6 months or so ago.


cables hanging off plywood nailed to the wall. and in this room are 12 functioning separate server boxes, all doing their thing.... I guess. :huh :O :eek:




In all honesty I can't believe some of the stuff is running.

to be honest the most complex part is going to be the 3com NBX phone system. the last guy went to 3 days of classes to learn how to manage the system.

I get no classes (for now) and have to take care of all this.
