You sit patiently at your desk and wait your turn. There are over 5000 computers that need to upgraded, 3700 of which need to be completely replaced completely. They have four guys assigned to resolve issues, so eventually, everything will be copacetic. They promise.

All of our data lives on a network share, so there are no worries in that regard. Only the apps have to be reinstalled, and the IT guys have to do it. It's not so much incompetence as it is piss poor planning.

Images are the devil's work. Once a machine becomes a development machine IT services should NOT be allowed to touch them again. What's good for the people in marketing is not okay for developers. We NEED to be able to muck around in our systems.

Not where I work and it seems JSOP is working under one of the most restrictive regimes there is. We get the same spec as other users, possibly an additional 8gb of memory, and no admin rights. We only have access to the dev and uat servers because they got sick of 4-5 requests for access every day.
At least our win10 upgrade is going smoothly, almost certainly due to good planning and testing, we had over 6000 machines to be upgraded. MS loves banks!

The DoD is very strict. If you’re a dev, you MUST maintain a Security+ CE cert, even if you don’t have any admin rights. I have a MCSA for SQL Server 2012, and I have only just enough permissions on our server to almost do my job.
It’s f*ckin absurd.

Hey, I have to log directly onto a server as Admin to do ANY of my job...because using run-as with whatever tool I need from my desktop is forbidden. Apparently, it's SO much better for me to have unfettered access to every nook and cranny of the servers, than it would be for me to just use SSMS from my desktop to manage a database.

I understand the need for images. It trivializes machine itinitialization. They’ll install our special software again - it’s just a hassle to wait for them to do it.
On a DoD computer, you have to jump thru 3x as many hoops to get a local admin account. If that’s the way they want to play it, I’m happy just being a non-admin user. I’m paid the same either way.

"I’m paid the same either way." There's your nugget.
Curious on this DoD machines - do they still epoxy the USB ports?

No. They i think they install something that alerts them when someone inserts a USB device so they can send the Spanish Inquisition up to confiscate your computer, box up every paper on your desk, and put you in stocks at the main entrance so passers-by can pelt you with rotten vegetables.

Well, at least the machines that you do have apparently had TPM 2 on them. We're still in process of replacing all our domain machines for W10 compliance (we had TPM 1), and I had the distinct joy of disabling all W7 machines a couple weeks ago.
You guys need to petition for someone to get ISSO status in your shop. Sec+ and DAA/Commander's memo is all that DODI 8570 requires for IAT I designation, which would be appropriate for local administration.

Is acute care having an attractive nurse?

Brilliant. Makes TOTD worth every penny. Keep us abreast of any other great ideas.

Just be careful if she says she's going to get a cot: for sleeping on or for finger tip?
(but we deviate)
How dose one treat such a comment? I'd like to inject something humerus, here, I've RN out of ideas.

Frankly, I see the all-in-one printer going to the wayside. Unless I have to scan 10 documents together as a group (which is rare), I just snap a photo of the document with my phone and send it email.

Completely unprofessional. Seeing a blurred JPG of a 5° rotated document mangled by lighting condition? I would refuse the document tout court.

Yeah - you probably are the only one. Sadly, not really. I've received some of those 'documents'.
I fact, some of us even have dedicated High Resolution scanners.
Also, we own a "Camera" for taking pictures of things.
Old school - you know how it is - quality and all that stuff was/is important.

Really? A camera[^]? Is that practical?
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

Not only practical, but aesthetically pleasing in and of it's own right.
Actually, in real life, I even had a view-camera for a while, loading with sheet film.
And the quality was worth it. They're still around.
. . . skip many steps . . .
Now, my current favorite is a Kodak Z990 - last camera before the bankruptcy. 30x Schneider zoom - crystal clear throughout the range. Super Macro's my favorite when not stuck doing photos of family and such.

For those of us who never progressed to the SLR level a phone camera can give better resolution than a lot of cameras, especially if it is a few years old. I dumped my old cannon SLR when my phone did a better job.
