I haven't started there yet. What the head AD guy told me was that they had no DA/EA, Exchange Full Admin access. He was just hired a month ago. Until then, they completely outsourced the whole AD/Exchange infrastructure(whatever that means, exactly.). What he's been doing for a month, I have no idea. All the servers are physically on the company property. When I told him how easy it is to get DA access if you have physical access to a DC, he seemed reluctant to implement any "hack". He did, however take notes when I told him how. Not really sure what that means or how a company can get locked out by an outsourcing firm they hired in the first place. The head AD guy seemed like more of a manager than a lower level engineer person. I guess that's why they wanted to hire me. The shop is mostly unix(solaris). Ironically, none of the tech guys there know Windows except from a help desk client perspective.
I really don't know what to expect in a week. I'm sure I'll be telling you guys all about it in a few weeks :) What's doubly amazing is that this is a big NY finanical corp and not some little small bussiness. The nature of my hire was that I'd be working full time for a consulting company they use and I 3 months if they like me, they'll hire me directly, away from the consulting firm. Strange.
