@ Liudvikas:

Well, you are in luck because part 2 is going to be out tomorrow. :)

@ SapientIdiot:

This did cross our minds, but piracy is sort of frowned upon by the managerial entities. :P

Oh Luke, you always make me laugh. I hope your autobiography comes out soon, I’d like to read more of those shenanigans. :)

@ MrJones201:

Actually, it was a crappy USB drive with an awkwardly short cable and external power supply (also with a too-short cable) – so it was just a temporary makeshift solution that couldn’t really stay in place. Once we were done we disconnected it, and I think they took it back to the store and returned it. :P

We all just wasted two evenings and accomplished absolutely nothing (well other than getting the firewall upgraded).

Well, let me put it this way – this story has more than two parts. Much sanity was lost during those dark days. :)

Lol. Too funny. I hope you don’t go insane from these shenanigans. We have a similar situation here – more of a turf war. Operations believes it should be doing all the configuration of things like MOM/SCOM. Problem is, they have no fucking clue how to do it properly. A couple of weeks ago, they couldn’t remember the password for MOM/SCOM and simply reset it – rendering everything pooched. Fun times.
