We have Surface Pro 4 docks and haven't had problems with them. They have two DisplayPorts which can each be split to connect to 2 monitors. What's the deficiency? The only thing I've seen is a weird redraw issue on rare occasions.

When the docks are connected and the device goes to sleep, they can 1) wake up and external monitors don't work, or 2) not wake up and require a hard reset to function again. We piloted January-June and gave up, so maybe finally fixed?

Thanks for this and other posts like it.skipdogg posted:So before someone jumps your poo poo, System Center is a massive suite of software from Microsoft comprised of multiple moving pieces. I do a lot of work with Windows on AWS and, while I've made do with half-baked AMIs and lots of scripts, Im hoping to find a deployment tool that is designed for Windows and can be used to spin up app servers in an autoscaling group. That plus monitoring. Old data center dashboards die hard and I like me some pretty status Windows and health bars. Even though WhatsUp Gold sucked large amounts of rear end, it made pretty charts to hang on a display in a NOC. So I'll spin up an EC2 server or four in a couple of VPCs in a couple of regions and start installing stuff and see where it takes me.

We haven't run into this, but the mini-DPs on the dock seem to be...loose? They don't wiggle, but sometimes somebody will lose a monitor and jiggling the cable fixes it. One of the devs who was experiencing it looked it up and apparently this somewhat common? On balance, our rollout has gone over very well with users.

It's pretty loving true, especially if you include management in your "users" category. A big part of IT is catering to the lowest common denominator. This is the first place I've worked at that didn't have a trainer and it is amazing how handicap I feel because of it.

I think one of our Apps Engineers (post sales support for our hardware/software) finally snapped today. I pulled up and he's slowly walking down the row of cars leaning over the hood of each one. It was so weird I sat in my car for 5 minutes watching him. He'd take about 30 seconds per car then move to the next. I got out of my car and he noticed me and at a volume way too high said "I'M JUST SNIFFING THE CARS. CAN I SNIFF YOURS?" I said "sure, you do you." As I was walking away he shouted "I'M NOT A PERVERT".

Off the meds. Maybe it's lose your poo poo day. One of our PM's blew up on us today because he had to listen in on a "locker room talk" kind of meeting we have every week in the city. The client is represented by about 5 guys, and all of them are old dirty bastards. Lots if bigotry and racism, and this PM has an asian wife and a gay son and lots of close friends around the world - he was not pleased.

Pretty lovely situation for the PM to be in. If you try to politely say to the client that you're not comfortable with that sort of talk, that may be enough to upset the client and lose them. Which would likely put you in a bad position at your company. If you bring it up internally, your company is likely to just hem and haw. Best case is they bring it up to the client and say what... please don't speak that way around our employees? Ideally, your company would have your back either way. But just by nature of having this conversation, not everything is ideal.
