I can do this without informing anyone in advance. However I do have to report it and then Management will review it and see if the software is appropriate for that persons Duties. If so it can then be reinstalled. I have removed several software packages in the past some that were purchased and installed while I was out of the office and had to be reinstalled. Most stay gone, and I can tell you in our office it if was for games it would be GONE and stay GONE! -----Original Message----- From: David Lum [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 01, 2011 10:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: It isn't worth it How do you guys feel about finding a user who has password cracking / key code generator tools (for games, not work software), on their PC?

I'm not talking about people who embezzle thousands. I'm talking things like office supplies and equipment. Most of the time the items taken are a fraction of their pay. I mean really, you can't go to Office Depot and pick up a $5 ream of paper or pair of scissors? That makes less sense to me than a drug addiction.

I got an phone call from the director early last night. He couldn't get a hold of the supervisor so he called me. He told me to log in and cancel all network access and disable AD account for an employee in our department. Said employee had failed his drug test. He had been on probation the last few months and it seemed he was getting his head straight. Then this week he came in late for a staff meeting and even I noticed something wrong. He didn't look good, wiping his forward a few times, hair mussed up. Anyway, he took a drug test later that day and failed. Young guy, married for about two years and hooked on pain pills. Now he's out of a job and, I hope, not a wife, too. It isn't worth it. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail and any attachments are confidential.
