In fact one of the certs we manage is provided by Verisign and for 3 servers with 4 SANs its something like $50k/2years. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1173264 | 2011-01-30 20:48:00 | Totally sure. The client has 11 staff (!) all based on one office - the cert was for remote access so users didn't get the cert error message. They have a single SBS server, no SAN. They have been spending about $5k a month (yes, unbelievable) on IT support and services from a single company, the client is a not-for-profit and it's sucking all the money they need to actually deliver the service they are supposed to be. Hopefully from this point on they will take my advice and move on to another provider. |

Don't tell the contractor they're fired until *after* you've had someone else lock them out of the system and made sure there aren't any sneaky ways for them to get back in. This also warrants a lawsuit if they can be bothered with one... $5k/month for 11 staff & one SBS install is *way* out of line, unless they have some very unusual requirements. |
