redeyes posted:I wouldn't do that. CPAs tend to like real computers and servers and will spend on it. Basically the ones I know use a Windows 7 Pro workstation as a server with RAID drives. Then they rotate USB HD backups and have Carbonite as a last resort type of thing. I don't do cloud stuff with them because it would take too long to get back up and running if something poo poo the bed. no i suggest a solid onsite backup essentials will do that fine, but o365 will do the cloud backups as well for ohshits and convenience plus give a good amount of collaboration features.

Jeoh posted:Sneakyfrog did you even read the post or understand Windows Server licensing? The only licensing thing weird in that setup is the 10 User CALS for 4 people. Maybe 5 if you're counting the MSP. The server is 2x8 cores, so 16 cores total, which is covered by 8 2-core licenses. i stand chastened. my bad friend.

dont ever presume also that you can do things the way you are supposed to in proper winserver either. if you dont use the fun little SBS wizards for everything it can and will bork up everything.

pixaal posted:That's the sign of someone that's going to do very well in IT. It gets better, but that's what low end IT positions are, helpdesk, or doing bitch work for the server team. A small shop where they are the only IT person is a pretty good position if they can land it. Something with a contractor budget, and they can slowly bring that stuff in house not only saving the company money, but getting some really good stuff for their resume. Sure they could do the standard helpdesk grind, but that's soul crushing. eh thats pretty much kind of it, my shop is growing to the point of where i need to do way too many focus based tasks and management type stuff for long hours to do general IT bitchwork. so just practical lessons along the A+ course curriculum lines, and letting him take first crack at general helpdesk type stuff with supervision. kids a bit too hands on to sit still for much of the lecture/theory work so just been spoonfeeding it slowly as we go along.  its definitely sharpening me up on some of the menial poo poo i had to do at first.
