| Nov 26, 2018 at 7:01 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | @rnxrx, agreed. We would need a follow up post deciding those limits. This is more to get a general sense of where the community stands on issues and those they would like to see changed. | |
| Nov 25, 2018 at 22:43 | comment | added | rnxrx | So take the example of DNS hosted on a classic Microsoft/AD environment. Is there a line drawn between supporting basic DNS configuration issues vs configuration problems that tie to a deeper AD design/layout problem? Do we get into resource pointers and such? Similarly, would we agree that there's still a distinction to be drawn between RADIUS servers and the back-end auth infrastructure? I'm actually generically in favor of opening up the rules a bit on this topic but there still needs to be limits, IMO. | |
| Nov 19, 2018 at 20:20 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | The flip side to the on/off topic coin has always been that this is a community on the smaller side and that people with questions may get answers faster (and possibly better) on sites such as Server Fault. This has often been one of the reasons for having these topics largely off topic on this site. | |
| Nov 19, 2018 at 20:13 | comment | added | jonathanjo | In most environments I've worked in, there have been separate people/groups responsible for networks and servers; DHCP, DNS, RADIUS, TACACS, NTP have almost always sat with those responsible for routing, buying network lines, and not with those responsible for ensuring disk space, file servers, web servers, etc. So I completely agree, these network support protocols should be on topic, regardless of platform. | |

| Nov 19, 2018 at 20:01 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | As noted in the original post, the exact scope of any changes for topics the community feels strongly about will be determined in a topic specific post once the community has time to provide feedback. So consider this more in a general sense. My fear on making topics like this more specific at this stage is that we would end up with half a dozen (or more) answers around a topic like this with competing ideas on what is exactly on topic. | |

| Nov 19, 2018 at 19:57 | comment | added | Ron Maupin Mod | I guess I would like to understand more about what this entails. Is it only the protocols, or does it include server configurations on the various different server platforms, perhaps limited to certain platforms? | |
| Nov 19, 2018 at 19:55 | comment | added | YLearn Mod | One of the topics that has been discussed several times, so works as a good example post. | |
