I hear what you are saying Kurt, I heed your warning. For me i have to put a lot of trust in our 3rd party IT company as i'm very new to linux (about 6 months experience) but due to spending so much time in back of this server, and being the one who help build the platform when it was on windows, i'm already starting to educate our offshore 3rd party IT company in a few things. I very much agree with you, on the windows side we had over 15 different hard limit quotas in place and the entire ETL folder structure was controlled using the AD. Luckily we have a plan, SAS are coming in soon and have setup workshops to hopefully work with our off shore 3rd party IT company, and get the environemnt tuned and fit for purpose. SAS have been amazing in this space before.
