The live stream was very costly, about ~12K a month. We couldn't show any revenue action from that stream for that to continue. So a business decision was made.

Hey @Paul-Duplessis I am truly sorry that this got by me and am now just responding. You have a great start, and I would recommend the CySA+ course for the analyst side of things. You can continue down the CompTIA pathway with either PenTest+ or CASP+ if you would like. Then I would consider certifications outside of the CompTIA realm, like the EC Council certs, or SANS certs. I would love to hear from you again and to check in on your progress and success!

I agree wholeheartedly. Start with the IT Fundamentals from CompTIA, move to A+ and Network+. I'd toss a Linux cert (LPIC-1 or Linux+) too, and then a server certification... Microsoft Server.

@Calvin-Lake,
David has as good of starting place as any. I would check your CMOS settings to verify it does recognize still recognize the correct time. Then check it about 2 or 3 hrs later and see if there has been a significant time shift. If there has or if the battery is older than 3 yrs old, it may be time to replace it. It reads like it's not keeping the settings for your PXE boot setting or even your SATA controller.

Thank you very much for your reply and your suggestions, I will most certainly give that ago

Stay safe and have a good day

Awesome, that's what I did. Thanks!

Hey @Hutch-Morzaria !

Just wanted to confirm that you were able to access these Sample Papers for the DPI course. Pop a message here in the forum if you are still unable to access them. We'll get it sorted!

Yes - we will be recording a new course for the new objectives. That recording is scheduled for mid October - so I am betting the course will be in our library around the November time frame.

Thank you so much for the post.

Hey @Jose-Luis-Gutierrez !

@SIMON-TAPLIN is right as to what you'll want to put on your roadmap to Project management in the Azure world. If you don't have the experience necessary for PMP, start with CompTIA's Project+ and PMI's CAPM. The PRINCE2 is updating and that might be something you'd want to hold off on until they get that all sorted.

Best wishes and continued success!

@Jeff-Gortney,

Sounds like a great idea. You have to make decisions for dividing up your LUN across your SAN. Do you need larger and fewer LUNs or smaller and more LUNs.

Take a look at VMWare's documentation on this decision and some good considersations: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.storage.doc/GUID-2C8FAE1F-98F7-4E0B-AEA0-83A4FF16A252.html

I've been a long time ESXi user, which is fine but with a SAN, to fully take advantage of the SAN you may also want to consider vSphere to manage ESXi to the fullest capabilities.

Hey @anton-witting great question! If you are looking for a good CentOS (RHEL-like) alternative, check out AlmaLinux: https://almalinux.org/

@Chris-Ward-1 ,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll follow your advice.
