I agree with everything you said. I hate the fact that the moved to an entirely web based management for most things. I miss the MMC management. That said, it has pushed our junior techs to learn powershell quicker. Once you pass 20 users there is a minimal financial benefit for O365 versus $1 out leasing the equipment to do it in house. I guess that is Microsoft making it look better to move to their hosted crap and then doing nothing more than removing flexibility.
We have exchange servers for 10 users and we have exchange servers for 8200 users. The management is not very different with the exception of DAG configuration/maintenance. Even that is not very difficult. If you can manage AD, you can manage exchange. Not only that, but E3 is more expensive than owning exchange servers, paying on SPLA for office, and enterprise CAL, We manage exchange servers for flat $100 per month per server. We do barely any maintenance on them and it is a cash cow for us. It really is that easy, and I am sorry if your previous environment was not setup properly.
Not really. One could easily create a zone for just the mailserver in their DNS for mail.mycompany.com that points to the internal IP address, or DMZ address.
Good to know. I haven't really followed Juniper. we are a large Cisco reseller. Barracuda has come a long way, still miles from what I would consider quality support, but they have to start somewhere.
With respect, go ask your "people" and you'll hear something like the above complaints.
Well, the top spam addresses in the world belong to Microsoft now. I guess, my techs were responsible for that too.
Who said anything about failure? It was about how success is difficult
I am not sure what type of environment you work in, but every one of our techs feels the same. O365 is a slackers way of feeling like they did something. Just charge my employer more. DB issue? Restore to last full backup and replay the log files. I bet you don't like databases in your organization either. This is kindergarten level shit. I'm sorry but, next , next, next, finish, next , next, next, finish, buy a load balancer may be too much for you. You should just walk outside and kill yourself when something goes wrong.
"Easy" takes 6 months?
Yep. If they couldn't understand SMTP and the most basic aspects of networking we would fire them and we would deny their unemployment.
If you can't do basic level IT work, how can you claim to be a professional. I bet you say "Cloud Cloud Cloud" and wish your problems away. I bet you voted for Obama because the 1% made you work today. Go back to/b/, Neckbeard... OR... BALL UP AND ACTUALLY BE A SPECIALIST . Either way, don't bother me with your petty whining. You will get no sympathy here, especially when you cant do the most basic of administration tasks without feeling like you have been "put out".
Just because the bar is green does not mean it is safe. Everyone wanted to run from self-singed certificates because it prompted the user with a warning. You know what? That weird ass name on the cert also helps verify where it comes from. Instead we replaced certificates and trained people to look for a lock that was already easy to spoof.
Exchange cluster backed up by a cluster of SQL servers
We manage several hundred Exchange servers and I have no fsckin clue what you are talking about. Even in the thousands of users, Exchange is simple to manage. Crafting extras? How about trying to craft anything in google apps. That is also why I don't get the office 365 thing. Exchange is one of the simplest to maintain servers Microsoft has ever made. Exchange is significantly less expensive than O365. It is also a lot more reliable. If your people can't maintain Exchange, they shouldn't be trusted with more complicated tasks like breathing. We haven't had a single FNG that didn't install and maintain Exchange within 6 months. Are IT guys really this lame these days?
until Comcast craps out. How far can they take this last mile over-subscription? What carrier would take on the liability of a patients life based on their QoS. Verizon would, but then they would end up suing the patient's family in the end.

That is just DNS and configuration. No SAN cert is really needed.
Exchange is VERY easy to run internally.
Advanced for fortinet would just be an understanding of email.
Dell = Screwed over. Not that sonicwall was "ever" a good product.
Good to know. I haven't really followed Juniper. we are a large Cisco reseller. Barracuda has come a long way, still miles from what I would consider quality support, but they have to start somewhere.
So did Juniper. Wonder when we hear from sonicwall. I won't hold my breath.
That is outside of this suit. You are correct in both of your postings however and we can hope that the processors roll the shit downhill
