I've been saying that same thing to upper management at every place I've been at over the last 15 years... amazing how none of them seem to "get it".

I'm in a similar situation as you William, trying to get them to put a Dev/Test environment in the budget. Amazing how many organizations have multiple environments for all their business applications, but AD gets treated as a second class citizen.

Also at a .gov coincidentally. You'd think it wouldn't be such a novel concept that perhaps you shouldn't test in environments where you can potentially impact provided services...but it is here. I've finally got them to add it to this years budget, so in July I get to stand up a QA forest. Now getting the devs to use it will be the next challenge. :P - WJR On Mon, Jun 3, 2013 at 1:29 PM, Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife < [email protected]> wrote: That’s about the size of it.
