      Contemplating my mortality

      I know the feeling. Strangely, I find thoughts of mortality far more depressing when in the US rather than when in Europe. Something about being tied to my heritage makes me more comfortable in Europe.

      It's not that depressing to me. I don't think life would be as beautiful if it weren't temporary. We're so insignificant universally and that gives me a lot of comfort. Any success or failures are irrelevant ultimately.

        @Dashrender I'm using SCCM and it applies things to collections. So in this case, the collection is merely a grouping of specified devices (but it can also be users).

        A collection can be defined statically by specifying which objects (users or devices) are members of that collection or dynamically by specifying certain criteria (e.g. OS, RAM, CPU, AD OU, IP range etc).

        This one consisted of PC's that I manually added and made the OS deployment required (as opposed to the alternative of 'available' and providing a choice). 🙂

        Be careful with SCCM, lol. Emory University wound up accidentally wiping all of their systems while trying to deploy Windows 7!

        We have KACE and it works pretty well from what I've seen.

          The beauty of mortality. Sounds like a DaVinci painting.

            A bank over here had a similar issue a few years ago. It made me a bit nervous about moving to it but you have to be pretty careless (or "oh what does this do?" without googling) to do that. Measure twice, cut once 😉

              Lots of other tools carry that risk as well. Any broad imaging tool or anything that manages the entire environment at once can do that. THe power to manage is the power to destroy.

                            Curse you @Mattspeller!!!!

                            I am now waiting on a few slow boats from overseas for parts to begin a DIY battery project to use some of the 160 18650 battery cells I have accumulated.

                              Our trombone player works fro Emory, and he was actually one of the folks who had to restore all those servers. Now he is very highly revered on that campus.

                                            @fuznutz04 I've never heard of "Disk Copy"

                                            What was the driving factor to use it?
