From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] Sent: 29 January 2009 21:27 To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: Re: Tips 'n' Tricks This is a guy who changed the IP address on our Citrix Access Gateway as a "test" on our busiest day of the week. Kinda wreaked a bit of havoc with our remote users. He is also very proud of the Active Directory "he" designed, even though i spent 24 hours pulling it to pieces and putting my own structure in after he'd finished. 2009/1/29 John A. Shaw-Miller <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Heh .. if I took our E2K7 cluster down I would have 180,000 screaming people at me ..... may be something to do tomorrow .... yanno ... quiet Friday....

My boss bought it, and he likes to take down Exchange servers in the middle of the morning just to fix some cosmetic issue. I hate Symantec with a passion that appears to be quite common. 2009/1/29 Ziots, Edward <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Symantec Sucks.. Period.. Z Edward E.

Enuff reminiscing.....back to fixing stuff 2009/1/29 Ziots, Edward <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> I hear you, can't tolerate that stuff here, of course scheduling of 700 servers to be patched across 2 week timeline with a lockout on changes from 7am-5pm posed by executive management doesn't make for happy campers...
