I'm just a simple System Administrator, who does a bit of programming on the side (mostly C and Perl).
I'm a Windows administrator by day; but my true love is FreeBSD and Open Source Software. I put my money where my mouth is on a quarterly basis. I'm inspired everyday by my peers, their abilities, drive, and passion for competent applications of technology and supporting operational efficiency.
I'm a Myers-Briggs INTJ and DISC C/D. I value Quality highly and at times I can be a purist. Incomplete jobs are loans with high interest (see Technical Debt).

Windows 2003 Server Hire someone who knows what they're doing. Backups, backups, backups. Reboot monthly, after patch Tuesday; and after every major change (if for no other reason than to prove it will start on its own again). |

Does IIS have a SRV _SERVICE record? Nope. Web browsers will use port 80 unless the url specifically includes a different port. |

Best way to go about changing a root password on 3000+ Solaris, AIX, and Linux servers? And what command are you going to run? passwd is different on the different versions mentioned. pw not always available.... |

How do I access my public DNS on Amazon's EC2 I see the AMI FW portion, it's a pointer to a problem, not an "Answer" per-se. Stack Exchange is not a forum, we try to require the Answer actually solve the problem (this doesn't always have to be the solution the OP was asking for). If that was all you had posted I would simply convert it to a Comment. If you check out the article I linked to it goes into detail why we don't allow links to content (dead links are a huge problem). I can appreciate wanting to provide the site owner with traffic, and reference links are required when you're using other people's content. But my canned message stands... |

How can I display and log PHP errors on IIS7.5? Welcome to Server Fault! Welcome to Server Fault! We really do prefer that answers have content, not pointers to content. This may theoretically answer the question however, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. This post will be removed if not improved. Thank you! |

My Azure DNS won't propagate That's not how DNS works, but there no such thing as A-record propagation either... |

Using both raid from card and from motherboard Fair enough - Canned shopping comment removed. Off-Topic, probably suitable for Super User however. Also largely a dupe of serverfault.com/questions/339128/… |

Using both raid from card and from motherboard FreeNAS + ZFS + LSI HBAs = happiness (Also, Nexenta and OpenFiler are alternative OSes worth mentioning) |

Intrusion detection systems and false alarmsI ask a question -> I expect an answer <-- Yeah, that' pretty much sums up the problem - Expecting professionals to take time out of their busy lives to provide you with answers to your homework simply because you dribble 3 sentences into the Question form... Your effort has not inspired me or anyone here to aid in your education. Try harder and you may receive better results next time. |

Website content has long blocking and waiting times for some files Any anti-virus software with firewall features? What OS is this? |

Website content has long blocking and waiting times for some files The delays are almost exactly 1s; there's more than coincidence there. Do you have anything like mod_security enabled? Or perhaps DNS lookups of some kind? |

Intrusion detection systems and false alarms That's not an Answer, which is why it's a Comment. You're welcome! |
