What content are you displaying? Those modulators are a really good way of making a mini TV network inside your office, but not so great if what you actually want is digital signage.

They make amplified splitters, and for long runs you use an HDMI splitter that allows you to put the HDMI signal over Cat 5e/6 cabling.

Thanks Ants posted:What content are you displaying? Those modulators are a really good way of making a mini TV network inside your office, but not so great if what you actually want is digital signage. I am doing a mini TV network in the office, basically a video loop from a PC with leaderboards for performance metrics. I'm not keen on the video over IP because then I'm going to need another high end switch, and decoders at each TV. The modulator seems more appealing because I can just buy one and maybe a single coax signal booster, but then dozens of TVs can all be set to channel 3 or whatever and have the same 1080p feed with no extra hardware, as long as I plan the coax wiring for the new floor we're expanding to.

People's refusal to answer simple questions is a permanent source of irritation for me. "What file format do you need graphics in?" "vector" "ok here's an SVG" "no not that kind" Use your goddamned words and say "eps" or whatever the first time. This dovetails nicely with the graphics people that will actively avoid sending you the correct format because they suspect you're giving your business to someone else. And we are. Because they do poo poo like that.

How complicated is a WSUS Server? Can it be run on a DC? I haven't played around with one but one of our senior windows admin tells me it's too complicated.

Unless his company is like mine in which case you will have WSUS and SCCM all setup to push out updates, including SCUP to add Adobe, Dell, and Java updates through WSUS and still not be allowed to actually use it. Because you know it's better to avoid updates in case they cause some sort of incompatibility error! God I cant wait to get out of here.

Javid posted:People's refusal to answer simple questions is a permanent source of irritation for me. Two weeks ago someone got an error report and they said they checked all the information and it looked fine. So I asked what it was exactly that they checked. "Data" was the answer. That answer made it that much easier to ignore the email and delete it because I was assigned to bigger things and that person was told I was off limits already. I don't mind helping someone out with something small but you better give a better answer than that.

Statistical modeling person received their new $9,000 Mac Pro and two $1k Thunderbolt displays. The office manager (who has been a sort of desktop support guy) just gave the dude the equipment instead of prepping it, or letting me prep it. Dude sets it up and then immediately forgets his password.

nexxai posted:Have they not invented compatibility testing where you come from? Speaking of which, what is the normal timeframe for this? We do 6 months minimum for even minor patches, and our 'fast track' for issues that are major critical stability issues is still like a month. The only thing that bypasses it are things our security team(who believes that the security servers are safer on their publicly accessible desks than in the locked down DC) have called critical vulns.

Tab8715 posted:How complicated is a WSUS Server? Can it be run on a DC? Its better to leave your DC doing DC things and nothing else especially if it is a primary. My primary right now is also the DCHP server and that is about as much as I would ever put on a DC. Not only will this save you a ton of headaches but it should also keep the vm pretty small which is great for speedy restores. I don't think you can restore a DC server fast enough when they run into issues. I know that small companies have limited resources and feel like they are wasting a license on an entire server for a server you don't do much with but in the end its worth it.

I don't think you can restore a DC server fast enough when they run into issues. At each of my sites I run a single virtualized dc that also handles dhcp and DNS, nothing more, nothing less. I wish I could have done core installs on them, but my neck beard coworker rdps into them to manage them. I don't think he knows what RSAT is.

Just an out-there suggestion.
