Yannow, sometimes it's not the (l)users that drive you nuts.

1. We support +/- 3000 remote users.

2. Some of those users who were on vacation over 4 July had their digital certificates expire on Saturday.

3. The 'fix' that was implemented by the IS group this morning did not reset the affected digital IDs as it was supposed to do - in actuality, it revoked every single certificate on every remote laptop in the U.S. used by our people.

We at the help desk are of the opinion that we all need to be bought drinks and dinner. We expect that, at the very least, before being royally fucked. Please send good thoughts to your techie brothers and sisters in the Northeastern U.S. today.

*grin* Well, also, what are the odds of such a thing occuring in two locations? (Wait, don't answer that!)

I definitely think you guys should be given a nice big meal. You deserve it.

I think I'd demand a royal fuck after having to deal with a mess like that. And from a country with good princesses too.

Reminds me of the time one of our guys removed every computer account in our domain (probably 4000+ users). We got *killed*, especially since every application was deployed based on computer names, so no one had any applications.

Did the idiot who did it ever apologise to us? No. And they expect us to respect him now. Not for a loooong time.

Tell every caller they have to call the IS group, as they were the ones who caused the problem.

Or tell the IS group you'll be happy to handle the fallout from their fuckup - at fifty bucks per caller, charged back to their budget.

Time, inconvenience and money. That's the only language the bosses speak, and the only way to put the point across.
