Yay!
I searched all morning for a mac friendly usenet reader I liked. I've
went through Nemo and a few more. I discovered Unison. So it looks like I'm hesitantly back with easier posting access. Gracie |

Bill Gates has taken over business computing so thoroughly that I don't know a single company that uses Macs. Chin Skritches, CatNipped |

Bill Gates has taken over business computing so thoroughly that I don't know a single company that uses Macs. Our company has a mix. I'd like to switch because the security ops group has started using SMS to push updates to Windows machines and I've been forced to reboot in the middle of the day, and while updates are being pushed my computer is useless. They can't push to Macs or Unix machines. They even push MS Office and other garbage patches during the day and every update causes Windows to want to reboot. It's frustrating. Most of our Mac users have multiple VMWare images so they can boot up Windows if they need it within a virtual session. |

Our patches get tested for a week before they're foisted on the user community. Then they're pushed out between 0300 and 0600. Users come in to a freshly patched and booted PC. So long as the users know and plan accordingly (don't leave a major doc/spreadsheet/etc. open), no harm done and everybody's happy. Sam, supervised by Mistletoe |

diainc... Good Lord! Your security ops techs haven't heard about "off hours"? Our patches get tested for a week before they're foisted on the user community.

So long as the users know and plan accordingly (don't leave a major doc/spreadsheet/etc. open), no harm done and everybody's happy. That's the way we used to do it. But for some reason now that we're using SMS someone thinks its ok to do it during the day. I took Domain Admins and other security groups out of my local administrators group and when they realize they can't patch me any more I'll tell them why. I'll patch it myself. We don't have the luxury of waiting for testing if it takes a week because we have a policy that says anything critical must be patched within 5 days, and sometimes 2 days depending on the severity/risk factor. Servers, too. We mostly hold our breath during the reboots these days. We're not fully at the virtual infrastructure model, but getting there. That will relieve the breath-holding and finger-crossing during patching and even give us a test environment to do a first run. Surprisingly we don't do that now. And I work for a huge company with many agency contracts. |
