Submission + - Enlightening the boss to better ways?
Dragon_Eater writes: "Dear Ask Slashdot,
I am working in a small office that has 15 computers and 6 laptops as well as an IP based phone system. The problem is that the company is less than 10 years old and the "IT Guy" is 100% self taught on how to do everything and never in the office as he is really a field tech. Our network is well run and terminated to a very tidy looking data rack but our server room is quite sad looking with four older ( think P III and maybe one P4 ) computers hosting a 40G server space and print server.
How could I feasibly go about getting my boss to see the light and migrate the servers over to an in-house employee who can fix things quickly rather than calling the field guy in every 2 days when one of the servers needs a reboot?
Thanks for your time,
Dragon"
