Lol here they just add people to new ones, and there are layers to the onion. I have no idea how many things I'm still in after 14 years, get random emails and have different access levels than the rest of my team for no visible reason to me.
Heh... isn't that why Active Directory is abbreviated "AD"? 😀

It is amazing how well AD groups work. It also conveniently handles when someone's terminated and they no longer have privs.

is it just me or does the OP here just think that we "should" answer all his/her questions without he/she showing that he made an effort of googling for whats being asked?
Well, this is yet another thread from this poster who is relying upon the community to design his AG environment, his replication environment for DR, and now his licensing.
Somewhere in one of his threads I'm pretty sure I suggested that he spend some time doing training.

I just recommended to him that he needs to hire someone...haven't seen a response on that yet.

They're an admin god. Why would they need us to tell them about basic Administration? ??

Excuse me, folks. I've just been hired as a DBA for a major national insurance company. I'm hoping you can answer two questions for me and this forum seemed to be the perfect place for my questions.
How do I turn SQL on? I don't see any buttons on my computer.
Also, why is SQL spelled wrong?
Please, if you can research the proper way to SQL and tell me, I'd appreciate it.
Oh, and my predecessor left this glass globe about the size of my fist on the desk I just inherited. Underneath was a piece of paper that said "Important! Do not lose!" I can't figure out if the paper is important or the globe is important, so I'm keeping both. Any ideas?

It has been a weird week here in "Safer at Home" land.

This user has been around for years. And despite the arrogance of their username, they are totally incompetent and unwilling to put forth any effort. Just walk away...

So, how's everyone surviving the shut in?
We've got a nice day on tap here, and while I'm putting in a couple extra hours this afternoon, I think I still ought to be able to get out on my bike and put a couple miles on. At least it gets me fresh air and exercise.
Getting various around-the-house projects that've been put off / ugh I don't want to go up in the attic / I'll get to it later done.

Well, the big company meeting announcing what changes will be made was held this morning. I will still have a job, but everyone making over 60k is getting an automatic 20% pay cut. No company match on the 401k.
I wonder if they realize that good technicians are still valuable, and are still being hired. I'm guessing that everyone in my group can get a 20% raise over their current salary by moving on.

I love it except for the fact that people at work (especially the big dogs) keep trying to engage me in tribal ritual and reindeer games so that people don't feel "isolated". I don't need a "virtual group lunch meeting" on Teams and I don't need to work a crossword puzzle as group during morning scrum!

Wow. My joke really hit with a thud. I'm surprised no one pulled out the Pork Chop Launcher on me. @=)
Michael, what company do you work for that they're forcing a 20% pay cut down your throat? I want to make sure I avoid that.
Things are still going well, so far, at Allstate. Getting work done. No word yet of layoffs or of pay cuts. In fact, we're giving people some of their auto insurance premiums back for the next two months (15% each month). So good PR for that. Other than that, grocery store shortages, idiot state governors, getting mad at general stupidity on TV, and pulling out the industry level sanitizer dispenser that I bought when I was pregnant in a fit of paranoia and mounting it on the wall.
KKC rolled his eyes when I bought it and 6 refills for it. A few weeks ago, he turns to me and says "Sooooo. Where did you want me to hang the sanitizer device?"

It was an obvious joke, no need to launch pork chops at you for it.
I had started working from back in October before the COVID-19 pandemic, so nothing really changed for me here. As for Michael and his companies 20% pay cut, I would be sending my resume out as soon as I have it updated. I could not handle that big of a pay cut. Of course, I need to get my resume updated now any way as I may not have a job come the middle of August. Depends on what projects and/or contracts the company lands between now and then.
