Oh man, that database replication software sounds like one hell of a program.

I've got to arrange and schedule updates for a little over 2000 devices for one of our clients through SCCM today; unfortunately, a decent chunk of machines aren't included in those collections and need to be patched manually as well. This is the fourth month I've taken this duty, and it tends to eat up a decent amount of my time for the middle of the month. Most of it is a waiting game, though, and some super basic WSUS/SCCM agent troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.

I'm also taking a final exam later today for an Intro to IT course at WGU! I've got a year and change of work experience in the IT industry, and my employer has provided me the means to go back to school and work full-time. I'm attempting to earn a B.S. in Information Technology with a concentration in Security, over the course of the next year. 77 credits...here goes nothing!

Congratulations on going back to school! 77 credits seems like a lot, but I'm sure it'll go by in a breeze!

Hey, thanks! The neat thing with WGU is that it's competency-based and geared for full-time working adults. With this particular IT degree, I have a whole bunch of certifications to earn in place of final exams or assignments - mostly CompTIA, but also the CCNA R/S (I earned that through self-study already though, network stuff is fun!) and the CCNA Sec. It's a pretty neat school!

Thanks again for the kind words! :)
