One of the questions that I keep hearing is "[H]ow do I start if I already have a fully deployed environment?" I attempted to answer that question in macadminmusings.com/blog/2026/. I try to take a high level view and define the steps to take to avoid breaking everything. I hope it helps to guide people onto a path toward success.

@djstarr feels similar to “iPad” vs “the iPad” or “your iPad” somehow

with all due respect, if you are a headhunter and you call me on my personal phone number (that I don't advertise anywhere online!), don't be surprised when the interaction is already starting from a bad place.
