| Hello, This is to the administrators of these forums. I first found these forums by visiting tcpmag.com. I then started to get notifications by email when messages were posted in one of my threads or one I have as 'email replies' from certcities.com. I know that tcpmag.com forums and certcities.com forums are actually the same thing. I've visited tcpmag.com forums before and seen some whacky stuff. Like the forum background and words were not present. I always just go to certicites.com to get to the forums now. I usually get most of my notifications via email from certcities, but sometimes I see some from tcpmag forums, how can I stop getting the ones from tcpmag. When I post, I'm always at the certicities.com address, not tcpmag.com/forums one. It's just silly to receive notifications from the same place but from two different urls. Please administrator(s), let me know. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| Nick, that's easy, just go to the mcppag forum and login, then in your profile uncheck the email notifications. Personally I didn't care for the notifications from either site including the "other" unwanted mail from both sites  so now I've included both in my spam filters along with anything that comes from 101communications.com (or whatever it was) that way if any staff sends me mail (very very seldom) I can still read it.I prefer just to come here (bookmarked) for active forums. Very seldom do I miss anything that was posted since I was here last time. However if you want quicker attention from the admin's, contact them directly. Their email is listed on the site. ------------- MCSE:Security & MCSA:Security, MCDST, MCP XP, CompTIA Sec+, A+ & N+ USAF (68-77) SP K9 Vietnam Vet 1969-DaNang, 1970-Tuy Hoa, Retired Police Detective/Narcotics/K9 |

I assume MCPmag.com is all about Microsoft certs and news just like TCP Mag is Cisco. Funny enough, you can go to certcities.com and click on Cisco link and get quite a load of information. Is Novell certs something many get these days? All I really hear from others, not on these forums but people I actually have seen and spoken to is Microsoft Microsoft, Microsoft.

| I had strongly considered it for quite a while as I had used Novell for a long time up to v5 and just a little bit of v6. But since this job doesn't use Novell, I've gotten pretty rusty. If I was to leave here and get back into it, then I'd consider getting my Netware CNA at that point after getting some hands on. I got started on Novell and if you remember it, Lantastic at the same time and really like the later versions of Lantastic (was excellent for BBS networks) but stayed with Novell until 97 when I finally left PC-DOS 6.3 for good and went with Windows 95/98 with NT4 Server (and for a short while used Windows 3.11 for Networks) but still loved using Novell to control everything Windows thought about doing including the look of the windows desktops.I suspect now that Novell has bought into SuSE, their status could pick up over time if their marketing (which has always hindered them) ever gets into gear. A Novell CNE is nothing to sneeze at and I've heard the new CLP and CLE isn't nothing to overlook either (for the Linux side). Novell has their own forums where the guys hang out at. I use to be very active there a while back. The training packs http://www.digitalriver.com/dr/v2/ec_MAIN.Entry10?V1=645017& PN=1&SP=10023&xid=27477&CID=0&DSP=&CUR=840&PGRP=0&CACHE_ID=0 - Foundations Self Study Course with all necessary software can be found here but it'll cost ya some ($395) and the exams are the same price as MS. ------------- MCSE:Security & MCSA:Security, MCDST, MCP XP, CompTIA Sec+, A+ & N+ USAF (68-77) SP K9 Vietnam Vet 1969-DaNang, 1970-Tuy Hoa, Retired Police Detective/Narcotics/K9 |

| Wow. Well $395 is way too much to spend. I know the CCIE costs over a thousand according to this site if you click on Cisco, CCIE, and has the quick facts. If you don't pass the CCIE once it's a big chunk of money lost. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| I picked up the Novell certifications, but fewer and fewer companies are using NetWare. ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

| What are they using then? A Linux server? As far as colleges/universities, the college I was attending a community college, they have Novell set up. Since you are experienced and such you should know what is common these days. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| Most companies I support use Microsoft-based servers. We will sometimes use Linux-based firewalls and/or spam servers. Universities often use a lot of Unix, with some Linux and Microsoft thrown in. I'm not saying I *never* see Novell used, but it's pretty rare these days. One of my friends is the CIO of a company that has quite a large Novell Netware and Groupwise infrastructure, but they're beginning the migration to Microsoft (and, I assume, Exchange as well). I've supported a few companies with NetWare 3.11, 4, and 5, but I've never seen NetWare 6 in a real-world environment. Novell has done an abysmal job of marketing, and it shows in their lackluster sales and their most recent round of layoffs. ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

| The problem is if you are logged into TCPMag and unsubscribe from a post, you won't receive it on TCPMag notifications or Certcities. I think people that use TCPMag.com forums instead of the Certcities, everytime they post a message you receive the notification from TCPMag. An annoyance somewhat yes. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom? Feel free to PM me with any advice! |

| Yeah, well I'll look into it some more and see what I can find. You don't like receiving notifications for things such as something you posted? I prefer this it saves me from visiting it again. If these notifications weren't available I probably wouldn't visit here. Nice to click on a hyperlink via email. ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom?

| Or if your in a thread just click unwatch this thread in future. Let me add if I go into preferences and uncheck everything I am subscribed to here looking in certcities, if I uncheck them all while being into tcpmag.com, they will be wiped out completely. Initially, all I wanted was notifications from Certcities.com forums not TCPMag.com forums. I usually just replace the hyperlink tcpmag with certcities. The rest of the link is correct. What do you use usually, certcities.com/forums or tcpmag.com/forums? I use the Certcities.com/forums ------------- Nick A+, CCNA Taking MCP 70-270 on Oct 16th. Any words of wisdom?

No - If I did, I'd get so many notifications that I'd not be able to track them all. Plus, if I simply focused on threads I had responded to... I'd miss all those threads to which I have not yet responded. Therefore, I make good use of the Active Topics button in the upper left corner of the Forums pane. :) ------------- BosonMichael (formerly TMichael) MCSE+I, MCSE: Security, MCDST, MCDBA, OCP, CCNP, CCDP, CNE, SCSA, Security+, Linux+, Server+, Network+, A+ Served proudly, US Army, 98C Intelligence Analyst, '89-'92 |

| and that's what I do as well. I bookmark the active topics section, if I happen to login in from another computer, no biggie, just re-log back in and refresh active topics and I see everything that's new since I last logged on. ------------- MCSE:Security & MCSA:Security, MCDST, MCP XP, CompTIA Sec+, A+ & N+ USAF (68-77) SP K9 Vietnam Vet 1969-DaNang, 1970-Tuy Hoa, Retired Police Detective/Narcotics/K9 |
