I've sold spiceworks to my manager and we are ready to go with it. However a colleague has talked to my manager and put the fear of certain death in him based on an experience this colleague had with spiceworks when it first came out. He's vague about the whole thing - but says enough that spiceworks crashed and hosed up several servers when he tried to use it. I'm thinking this was 4 or so years ago. Can't get a specific date out of him. So the question is is there a dark chapter in Spiceworks history? Has that been corrected? How can I assure my manager I'm not going to bring his world to a crashing halt? One would think that with such openness on these forums and number of users that if there were a problem it would be talked about and corrected. I've spent about 15minutes "googling" and haven't come up with anything about this.
All input greatly welcome. Spiceworks today - if anything over delivers.... What to do about naysayers that live in the past?

Check these out - I am somewhat in the same boat- 1 of 6 colleague (whose opinion sways our Bosses decisions more than all others apparently) found a horrible software and convince him of all these "holes" in my setup!
(the best answer on this one helped me alot -->)
after posting those and with some courage I laid my foot down that fair is fair and he is letting me test SW against his security protocols and requirements as we all know it's better than anything else out there!
Be assertive, know your stuff (get familiar with SW), only point out features you know will want to be heard and find a way to show them what you got is better than what they can find!
Good luck!

IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
How about this...
Spiceworks only reads data from the devices on your network through WMI, SNMP and SSH. It doesn't/CAN'T write anything to those machines (other than the one it is installed on). Therefore, it can't hose your other machines that are on the network.
Also, your data is your data. It doesn't leave your network even though Spiceworks is an online (for the ads) apps. You can read their privacy statement about that.
I can come up with more and would be happy to talk on the phone if need be. Where are you located.

Install SW on a spare workstation and run it from there for a while to "prove your point", you can always move SW to a different machine later.

+1 to CharlieB The best way to prove a point is to prove it with actions. Add to your install little by little. Eventually the fact that it works and it is Free will get to your manager.
May 26, 2010 at 4:50 UTC
I've NEVER heard of an issue where Spiceworks caused ANY server or workstation to crash. I've seen Spiceworks not start, and maybe get a corrrupt database every once in awhile (but I also run beta versions from time to time) ...and I've been around for awhile.
Sounds to me like this is one of those stories that loses all of the details and probably was more to do with the technician who ran it instead of the software itself.
Also. It is pretty hard to deny the popularity of the software. If it were bad, I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing a million members joining the community, amiright?
I suppose another question is: Did the person having the issues come to the community and seek out help? If he did, it would be here in the forums.
May 26, 2010 at 4:52 UTC
i don't know of any manager or company that wouldn't agree with a free product especially one as good as this. i have been using it only since last year but it is by far one of the best resources i have ever found. the support of the community is awesome and if you ever have an issue with anything and it doesn't have to be SW related there are tons of people on here that are eager to help.
May 26, 2010 at 4:56 UTC
If he has any questions just look at the counter to the right and show him how many people are currently using the system after it only being in production for four years.
Spiceworks is absolutely the best free app you will ever get for your money. Hands down.
May 26, 2010 at 6:12 UTC
I find it improbable, if not impossible for SW to crash any server that it scans. Not worth debating at this point though, but you have been given some good info here. As a looong time user, I can testify that it has never crashed a system that it scans, or any system I have ever run any version on. It sounds like one of those "since you installed my cdrom drive, I can't print from MSWord any longer" type of issues.

Lawrie Dalman Consulting is an IT service provider.
Hosing servers sounds a bit like some other mistakes may have been made in the detractors initial experience with Spiceworks and blamed on Spiceworks since it was the new kid on the block back then (probably not at fault at all).
All the comments thus far look helpful and don't leave much room for improvement, but what CharlieB says is probably the clincher and if nesessary have a test period where servers are not scanned, only workstations to prove no damage is done, which will quickly show the great benefit that would be made by scanning the servers too.
Good luck and watch you back, anyone who bags a product that works so well needs to be treated with caution. Not to mention the validity of the claim, no one bags Windows 7 on the basis of how Windows 2.0 worked or didn't work as the case may be. Developers generally make progress.
It is also good and common practice to test software for performance and functionality and usually some pretty thorough research too, invite your manager to ask the community how many of us are disapointed with Spiceworks and have hosed servers, I'm sure he'd be flooded with surprisingly positive feedback.
May 27, 2010 at 8:44 UTC
Thank you everyone! I'm now armed, about to put my foot down and just submtted my project plan to roll this out....
Kindest Regards to all!
May 27, 2010 at 8:50 UTC
I've been using Spiceworks since 1.6, never ever ever had a problem, not with upgrades or new builds..... ever.
May 27, 2010 at 8:50 UTC
I'm sure the 991,815 other users have a really hard time using this... maybe thats why the number of SW users wont stop growing :)

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Four years ago would mean that he was testing a beta - not the released product. It was still in beta quite a bit less than four years ago. So either his dates are wrong, he was running beta software in production or he is making the whole thing up. So something very fishy is going on. I'd have him answer about beta software to his boss and ask why he was testing betas on production servers.

How many mom's have had to call poison control cernter?
I want to know to know how many momma's had to call to call poison control center center because their child has drank something that they didn't know what it was. Nothing like a heart-attack to wake you up.
I did when Violet was 1 because she attempted to eat one of those dish soap packets for the dish washer. She was fine, just got some of the soap in her mouth.

Mark Pritchard has released tracks under a multitude of guises while rifling through almost as many electronic music forms. The England-raised, Australia-based producer could be called a dilettante, but the caliber of his collaborators -- including Global Communication partner Tom Middleton -- combined with the reverence accorded to the labels that have released his work, demonstrate that he's a respected and accomplished polyglot. Pritchard's commercial peak came early in his career with a novelty single that placed him in the U.K. Top Ten, as well as on Top of the Pops. He then went about building an exceptionally diverse and remarkably consistent catalog of underground dance music that continued to evolve well into the late 2010s.
Shaft, Pritchard debuted on an FFRR subsidiary with "Roobarb & Custard." One of several frolicsome hardcore techno tracks to sample the theme of a bygone children's television program while referencing the popular psychoactive drug ecstasy, it peaked the following January at number seven on the U.K. pop chart. The following year, Pritchard debuted his techno-oriented Reload alias on Evolution, a label he co-founded with Middleton (aka E621), who also became a production partner. Pritchard and Middleton's alliance led to ambient and house work as Global Communication, including the landmark 76:14 (1994), as well as varied approaches as the Chameleon (LTJ Bukem-issued drum'n' bass), Link & E621 (physical IDM), Jedi Knights (funky neo-electro), and Secret Ingredients (sample-happy house). Evolution was the label for most of these incarnations and supported early endeavors by Matthew Herbert and Danny Breaks. Another Evolution highlight was Pritchard's sublime deep house track "The Push" (1996), credited to N.Y. Connection.
Pritchard wasn't as active with Middleton during the 2000s and early 2010s, though the duo executed DJ mixes for the Fabric and Back in the Box series. Beside a slew of collaborators, including Antipop Consortium rapper Beans, Opus III vocalist Kirsty Hawkshaw, grime renegade Wiley, and Sa-Ra member Om'Mas Keith, Pritchard continually made stylistic diversifications. As Harmonic 33, he and Dave Brinkworth synthesized laid-back hip-hop and library music, while solo vehicle Harmonic 313 was inspired more overtly by Detroit's rap scene as much as his earlier approach was guided by love for the city's techno pioneers. Phat Kat and Elzhi, a pair of close Dilla associates, were featured on the Harmonic 313 Battlestar EP. Another alias during these years was Troubleman, a two-album outlet for nouveau easy listening, hip-hop soul, downtempo house, and broken beat.
Pritchard had used style-specific aliases but eventually opted to use his birth name for the majority of his solo activities. Among these releases were the descriptively titled "Elephant Dub" single for Deep Medi (2010), and a trio of EPs for Warp (2013) that featured vocal contributions from veterans Spikey Tee and Ragga Twins. All the while, Pritchard continued his adventurous, collaborative ways with previous associate Steve Spacek as Africa Hitech. He eventually released a "proper" solo album, Under the Sun (2016), the recording of which was inspired by time spent working with top-tier engineer Phill Brown. Thom Yorke, Linda Perhacs, Bibio, and Beans made guest appearances.

LGBT Cuba is a Canadian-based Cuban LGBT rights website. It was launched on July 26, 2008, and is run by Marcel Hatch, an American-born Canadian Trotskyist politician and LGBT rights activist.
It alleged that the Unity Coalition-sponsored but unofficial gay pride march (to be held June 25, 2008), which would have been the first on the island had it not been cancelled due to the arrests of the organizers, was a sham or front that was organized by the Cuban exile community in Miami in order to discredit the Cuban government's own recent moves to reduce its own long-standing repression of sexual minorities on the island.
Instead, the website promoted pictures and details of the first public gay gathering in the island's history, which was approved by the government-recognized National Center for Sexual Education (ran by Fidel Castro's daughter Mariela Castro); the event was held on the Mí Cayito section of Guanabo Beach east of Havana on June 14, 2008 to celebrate newfound pride and launch "Together with You" (Junto a Tí), a grassroots initiative to prevent the spread of AIDS among men who have sex with men.

Scientists are still puzzled by the contents of the modern basketball and believe it to be filled either with helium or several baseballs. Contemplate this conundrum with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a reserved sideline ticket to a Stanford women's basketball game against the Fresno State Bulldogs at Maples Pavilion on December 12, 2010, at 1 p.m.
Ranked second in the country to start this season, the Stanford Cardinal women's basketball team finished 2010 with a record of 36–2—and the hardwood heroines are out to avenge their ousting from last season's national title game. Head coach Tara VanDerveer helms an experienced roster led by seniors Jeanette Pohlen and Kayla Pedersen. Their fast-paced attacks and cunning stratagems will cut through the Bulldog defense with the cold-blooded precision of scissors through a polyester net or sleeping supervisor's comb-over. From the upper-level sideline seating in sections 2–4 and 10–12, fans can watch the Cardinal dribble, pass, and toe-dunk amid the electrifying atmosphere of the renovated Maples Pavilion while snacking on an item from concessions or doing the wave every time the stadium fills with water.

This week, Chicago Parent is talking technology, so the guys
at White Dad Problems discuss the media devices that have replaced
them as caregivers and role models. Science!
WDP15: Better Living with Technology by ChicagoParent
Technology is everywhere, and the Rise of the Robots is really
just a few beep boops away. This week, Todd, Matt, and D.M.
(Chicago's Greatest and Wisest and Handsomest Dads Ever ©)
tell us all about the media that keeps their kids stimulated or
anesthetized, depending on the need.
Matt's baby daughter is swiping murals, hoping they are touch
screens. D.M. is trying to keep his twins away from media a little
longer, but forsees a day when he'll give up on technological
advancement like his 8-track loving grandparents. Todd's kids grew
up in the era of a constant influx of Baby Einstein, and while they
seem to not be sociopaths, he fears he may have dashed their hopes
of leading a Mars mission, or inventing a cure for stage
Meanwhile, Baby Viva uses Siri, and Todd can't even have a bio
break without his phone. D.M. flashes us forward to the next wave
of technology, where dreams become real and sandwiches appear out
of nowhere. Hooray for the future!

For years, the Whistler Film Festival Society (WFFS) has been plotting to take over the Rainbow Theatre, give it a multimillion-dollar makeover and turn it into the permanent home of the Whistler Film Festival – "a Ferrari" was how festival director Shauna Hardy Mishaw described it to The Globe and Mail as she explained her plans three years ago.
But if you make it to the Whistler Film Festival next week, you will notice the theatre remains more of a jalopy, circa 1985.
That is about to change. It is not the renovation or the operating plan the film festival had hoped for, but this winter, the theatre will finally undergo desperately needed upgrades.
The plan for a $2.7-million renovation to create a spiffy, world-class theatre operated by the WFFS – a grand entrance, revamped lobby, new washrooms – has been scaled back to about half that amount. The plan ended this summer when the Resort Municipality of Whistler (which owns the theatre) instead allocated funds to Tourism Whistler (which operates the theatre) to refurbish the outdated venue, which is in the Whistler Conference Centre.
Now, a silver-screen lining: the WFFS signed an agreement with Tourism Whistler last week for the festival to continue to use the theatre for 10 years, with an option for another 10. The festival's director of special projects says the agreement includes "very favourable terms" for the society.
"The big need from the festival's point of view was to have a good place to show a movie, and this does it," said Jane Milner, who has been lobbying for the upgrade for years. "So I think it's great."
Work will begin after this year's festival wraps up on Dec. 8, and is scheduled to be completed in March.
The $540,000 renovation will include work on drywall, acoustic panels, ceiling tiles, lighting, theatre seats, the stage, carpeting and upgrading some of the audio-visual equipment.
"It's pretty much an overhaul all the way around," said Barrett Fisher, Tourism Whistler's president and CEO.
The lion's share of the funding for the renovation – $500,000 – is coming from the resort municipality; the rest will be from the private sector.
While the conference centre has had two upgrades in the past decade years, renovations to the 1985 theatre were not part of either refurbishment.

We're looking to build a quality list of sports books and we welcome unsolicited submissions.
But that doesn't mean we'll accept any old rubbish! We only publish a small number of titles each year and receive far more submissions than we could ever publish.
If you would like your book to be considered by Chequered Flag Publishing, send us a synopsis and enough sample chapters to give us an idea of your work. The synopsis needs to outline the book's contents, its potential audience and how to reach them. And please tell us a little about yourself and why you should be the one to write this book.
Don't forget that evaluating an idea can take time - don't worry if we haven't responded within a few weeks!
Email your synopsis and sample chapters to email@example.com

The processes of regeneration and repair tissues that occur under action of any substance are based on the effects determinated by this substance on some soluble mediators (cytokines, growth factors, pro-/anti-inflammatory agents) and on the macrophages involved in process. In this respect in this paper we will present an in vitro study of three kinds of biomaterials (P1, P2 and P3) obtained by submerged biosynthesis. These materials were synthesised using three strains of Monascus sp. The biocompatibility studies, performed with the three biomaterials on the adherent cells lines, type L929 murine fibroblast or RAW 264.7 murine macrophage, showed that only the biomaterial P1 is biocompatible. In the presence of biomaterial P2 or P3, the cell viability is under 70% and it is not depending on their concentration, meaning that these biomaterials are not biocompatible. In order to evaluate P1 biomaterial capacity to activate secretion of mediators involved in the process of tissue repair, for this biomaterial was determined the ability of inducing the secretion of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) for the human monocyte THP-1 cells line. The results obtained in vitro have been confirmed that in the presence of biomaterial P1, the macrophages THP-1 adopt a profile associated with accelerating the process of tissue repair characterized by the absence of the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6) respectively by the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1RA). © 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Background & objectives: Purified protein derivative (PPD) is currently the only available skin test reagent used worldwide for the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The aim of this study was to develop a Mycobacterium tuberculosis specific skin test reagent, without false positive results due to Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination using recombinant antigens. Methods: Proteins in PPD IC-65 were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry and compared to proteins in M. tuberculosis culture filtrate; 54 proteins were found in common. Top candidates MPT64, ESAT 6, and CFP 10 were overexpressed in Escherichia coli expression strains and purified as recombinant proteins. To formulate optimal immunodiagnostic PPD cocktails, the antigens were evaluated by skin testing guinea pigs sensitized with M. tuberculosis H37Rv and BCG. Results: For single antigens and a cocktail mixture of these antigens, best results were obtained using 3 μg/0.1 ml, equivalent to 105 TU (tuberculin units). Each animal was simultaneously tested with PPD IC65, 2 TU/0.1 ml, as reference. Reactivity of the multi-antigen cocktail was greater than that of any single antigen. The skin test results were between 34.3 and 76.6 per cent the level of reactivity compared to that of the reference when single antigens were tested and 124 per cent the level of reactivity compared to the reference for the multi-antigen cocktail. Interpretation & conclusions: Our results showed that this specific cocktail could represent a potential candidate for a new skin diagnostic test for TB.

I stayed in Legend Hotel during my Taiwan trip in June. It is quite close to metro station O4 that seems convenient enough to go to anywhere.
The first surprised me was the king size large bed so comfortable. The room is bright, tidy and spacious. The hotel makes an effort to decorate the lobby and rooms in themes so it was a pleasant find when we check-in.
Breakfast was decent enough for us. There is free wifi in the hotel, computers in the lobby. Hotel staffs were all really friendly and helpful with suggestions for tourism.
I will definitely stay Legend Hotel again, really excellent experience
