Sadly Linux lacks central administration possibilities wich is why winass is business standard.
and normies don't bother learn new OS : (
There isn't much to learn most need to open work programs and thats it, its mostly a problem with management and convincing the managers of a company to part ways with winass.
Managers are also the worst with computers. And they are the most likely to get viruses.
Recently at work I set up Windows to open spreadsheets and word documents in Libreoffice Calc and Writer instead of Excel and Word. Nobody seems to have noticed yet.
Either that or they don't know how to change back again.
lol
Doesnβt RH, SuSE, et al have it, though?
Years ago a friend of mine used to run a cyber cafe on Linux, with fully automated remote management. Have we regressed that much from there?
Im not aware of any Active directory type server system for Linux.
Another problem is the second and especially third level support. That is pretty rare for Linux, there aren't many Linux ready Sysadmins.
Nevertheless, from my personal experience, corporate IT in non-software enterprises is full of clueless sys"admins" who just go by flowcharts and if that doesn't help escalate to Microsoft support, and if they can't help they close tickets as "use as-is".
Hey, don't attack me for it. I'm aware that the admin problem is a hen-and-egg problem but it doesn't change the fact that the shit show works enough to justify not switching for basically everyone.
Problem with enterprise Linux is that they feel experimental to the people in charge.
(About the AD, yeah, I didn't know about it to that degree, all the end user systems I manage are winass, even though I manage a number of Linux Servers for specific purposes)
Yeah many in house personal IT from businesses is... Semi capable, they are enough for first and partially second level support, I know some petty good ones but I'm working as a service provider for second and third level support and coordination of specified support (Microsoft, Telecommunications providers, ISP, security management etc.) and I made very similar experiences. But most they do all they is first level support anyway, at last in small and medium sized IT environments.
Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there's a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.
Hm, wasn't aware of that, but that's probably because I can't work with Linux on that level, I knew Linux had some AD capabilities but I don't know how far they go and how scalable they are.
The problematics with the admins is still there however.
Yeah. Microsoft has definitely cornered the market on corporate education for sysadmins.
Hey, don't you know you need to become a Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert to do business properly?
I really think the cartel offices need to do something against Microsoft.
