[QUOTE="pdx1tjl, post: 84749, member: 4834"] [COLOR=black][COLOR=black] Some of us saw the writing on the wall with Active Directories roll out. Corp *should* be able to manage the entire network from a central location. At that point they simply need dumb monkeys out in the field (didn’t we all feel that way anyways?) to deal with hardware issue. I rolled out a beta PFS site in my location back in the day. It was a complete cluster. I actually once spent a week on conference calls trying to fix problems. We had the entire PAS team doing it. And to be honest, they had no fooking clue what they were doing. They system would bog down during the preload at like 3:00 AM. I don’t know how many times I told them that it just so happened that they were setting the tape backups at that time. I also kept telling them that the little 64K MSD service was having a problem blowing up to 2 gigs (with the other 2 SQL services at 2+ gigs) each and it was completely hosing the server.. along with all of the memory leaks they had on other services. [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][COLOR=black]Corp UPS TSG is a cluster, they should hire me back to fix it. You don’t realize how messed up UPS AD is until you move to another company and actually implement it yourself. In my 10 years in TSG, I saw it all. When I started UPS, there was 1 PC in the districts and it was an 8088. I watched UPS roll out one cluster after another. From Maxi-crap to World-sheet.

I thought it was turning around about the time ad and w2k rolled out but now I look back and realize what a cluster UPS AD is. Then there PAS... my god... that system will single handedly kill UPS. Good luck those of you left in TSG... They will pay you to be monkeys but the fact is that you will have to be the people in the for front of the battle. The joke for us was that we didn’t call corp for anything unless we had to.. because we would end up having to train them on the system for 30 minutes before we got anywhere.
