are you happy that you became a systems engineer, do you ever feel like a failure for not having gone to university etc. ?
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;30394528]are you happy that you became a systems engineer, do you ever feel like a failure for not having gone to university etc. ?[/QUOTE] Why? college is basically, give X.edu 30k/yr and we will shove information down your throat. I can buy a book, read it and save myself a lot of time and money. So no.
Hi again How do you go about deploying workstations? Cloning software or WDS? Do you use SCCM on the job? I could never wrap my head around it watching videos for it. It looks complicated as fuck and does so much shit. If you do use it, what do you use it for? Do you do AD work? Do you have any special tools to work with it? (e.g. programs for importing users en masse) How do you deploy new applications to workstations?

[QUOTE=compwhizii;30394754]Hi again How do you go about deploying workstations? Cloning software or WDS? Do you use SCCM on the job? I could never wrap my head around it watching videos for it. It looks complicated as fuck and does so much shit. If you do use it, what do you use it for? Do you do AD work? Do you have any special tools to work with it? (e.g. programs for importing users en masse) How do you deploy new applications to workstations?[/QUOTE] Until I joined they used a RIS server, the idiot proof way is to make a WDS + unattend.xml(made in windows AIK) apply it and not touch it unless you are updating the OS or adding some software. You can use Windows Deployment Toolkit, but eh never looked too much into it. I like hitting the lowest common denominator for people. >boot from network>hit f12>done SCCM, nope I want to but Sharepoint is on my plate right now. Since most users work in an office it isn't too much to worry about with GPO forcing updates and NAP. AD is easy if you set it up right, making OU per department, then add users and groups. Best tool for AD is Group Policy by far, you can customize so many things with it, role out software, auto map drives/printers/resources. Custom MMC's also help. Importing mass users can be done alot of ways, easiest way is to throw a secondary DC up, pull existing AD objects and DNS records over then promote it. GPO, unless it is fucking lync and there is no MSI package for it! WHY MS WHY!??! [editline]11th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Contag;30394847]What? What terrible universities were you looking at?

I did both CCNA and CCNP in my college course as optional modules (which probably made me achieve a lower grade in my core networking modules, but the Cisco certs are more worthwhile). God damn CCNP destroyed my soul, but roughly how much would that have opened up for me in the kind of thing you do? It's always interested me.

I can't see myself using that for quite some time. But it's good to know that the majority of what CCNA taught me should apply still. Assuming my tutor actually gets the certificates sorted.

[QUOTE=JohnEdwards;30395448]The tests are an abomination I feel, I love cisco is trying to keep the value in them, but so often people just fail due to the way the problems are worded.[/QUOTE] Yeah I almost failed CCNP a few times as they started using slightly differing abbreviations for some things, or just using a slightly different name (I think I scraped a pass in the WAN management module due to some funky wording like what the user wants to do, etc.). CCNA wasn't as bad for that, but the content was fairly simple in comparison.
