Projects at Work
In a nice change from the norm at work I've actually had a few fun, and not
mundane projects to work on. As I've blogged about before the typical day
consists of cleaning up after hapless Windows users who just can't seem to
learn to
not click on every attachment they get from people who they
don't know. Or that still insist on using IE, even though it still has
old unpatched vulnerabilities that allow for
Drive-By-Downloads of
spyware and hijacks. Or my personal favorite, "What do you mean I have to
update my anti-virus!?"
A couple of weeks ago I
managed an upgrade of a small domain from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server
2003 and also setup Exchange 2003 for them. Plus there were about 10 of the
users who got new Palms. All around it was a nice departure from the norm.
Today's fun was to get a small network into a much
larger one. As in, a smaller company was purchased by a much larger one. And
they didn't want to setup a trust so we got to rip down the entire old domain
and then then dcpromo the server into the new one.
Anyway, I hope we keep getting projects like this stuff. Cleaning up messed up
computers all the time gets boring fast.
