This is probably the most amusing/mortifying thing that ever happened while I was doing support.
I used to support a Windows 2000 network with.... roaming profiles! It worked pretty well for the users that spent a lot of time in the office. The ones that were on the road a lot, well, they soon learned not to save too many things to 'My Documents' whilst off site.
I received a call one day from the company lawyer complaining it took him an hour to logon to his laptop while in the office. There weren't any real network problems at that point so I narrowed it down to his profile. I went into his directory on the file server and discovered a lot of files in the process of copying. All from My Pictures.
I think I must have forgotten to turn off thumbnail view or something because I was innundated with over 1.5GB of young men in various gay porn positions.
I deleted most of it, telling the company lawyer that ANYTHING IN 'MY PICTURES' GETS COPIED TO THE FILE SERVER. He stuttered a lot and thanked me for my er, discretion.
When we lost the contract in favor of another provider. Toward the end, I managed to finish some maintenance on the same server. Out of curiosity I checked his profile and found, again, over 3GB of porn. Some people never learn.....
An oldie but a goodie today as well. One of the instructors wandered into my office. 'The monitor won't come on. It says 'signal not detected.'' I muttered a bit and had a look, then promptly discovered she hadn't turned her computer on! If I had a nickel.....

Date: 2007-12-12 03:28 pm (UTC)It turned out the hard drive was almost completely full - all 80GB of it. (This goes back a few years when 80GB was huge.) I took a look at the files and sure enough, there was a ton of porn downloaded. And it was all the most disgusting animal/human stuff! I couldn't believe what I was seeing - these people were like Ozzie and Harriet - you couldn't get more down home and Norman Rockwell than these folks.
I just quietly deleted it all and ran some utilities to wipe it clean. I never said a word to anyone. I was so shocked.
