So, here I am at my new job. As the first ever full time IT staff for the company, my first task is to see where we stand on our gear.
I go into our first IT room, and find a NICE full height, double sided, locking rackmount...
Then I open it up...
A beige box win2k server, P3 system (NOT a server mobo). just sitting on the floor.
A rackmount server running some special OS, but not plugged into the network.
Sitting on the FLOOR, unplugged, covered in dust and footprints...
Dell poweredge 2400 running SCO (finally got it booted today)
Dell poweredge 2450 rackmount, 2003 server enterprize DOMAIN CONTROLLER... (yes, sitting on the floor)
Mac Xserve rack server
And at our main office, the 2u rackmount server is sitting on a folding table...
And dont even get me started on the wiring... 2 ISP's, 3 wireless routers, ALL 3 of them cross-connected with dhcp on for them all!
Now... back to trying to find a password to the SCO box... (I had to hack the Mac box)
